In an exclusive interview with CaughtOffside, Stan Collymore stated that the struggling Everton manager should resign from his position at Merseyside if he doesnât want to limit his future opportunities.Â
Frank Lampard has had an awful time of it so far at Everton and it doesnât look like it will improve anytime soon. They are currently in the relegation zone and look like they are in for another turbulent season.
Last year, they managed to escape by the skin of their teeth but they may not be as lucky this campaign.

Everton fans are in an uproar over the clubâs poor performances and have even confronted players and members of the board.
Former striker, Stan Collymore, believes that Lampard should walk away from the position now to avoid more damage to his professional career.
âEven if the Toffees beat West Ham on the weekend, I think Lampard should give serious consideration to resigning from his position. He should come out and say âlook, there are problems here that I canât solve, they go far beyond the squadâ and walk away.â he told CaughtOffside.
âDonât get me wrong, Iâm sure he wouldnât want to do that, but from a career perspective, itâd probably be a wise move. Otherwise, he runs the risk of becoming the man who gets Everton relegated, or if he were to be sacked even before that happened â to receive back-to-back Premier League dismissals is an awful look and would massively limit his future options.â
Lampard also had a tough time at his former club Chelsea and Collymore believes that coupled with his time at Everton, will also his opportunities.
âWhat Premier League club in their right mind would offer him a job after heâs been sacked by Chelsea and then possibly Everton? The same applies to clubs in the Championship â that potential scenario would make it really hard for Lampard to come back from, so I think he should consider saving himself and throw the towel in at Everton.
âIt might be an idea for him to take a few months away from the game, maybe do some TV punditry and then chuck his name back into the mix for whatever jobs may be available ahead of next season.â
