adminThe former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager, now a Sky Sports pundit, ended his playing career at Coventry City, where he made 11 appearances during the 2004/05 season.
Sherwood has praised Lampard for leading Coventry to the Championship title last season—his first full year in charge—but insists that for Lampard to thrive in the Premier League, the club must provide him with the necessary backing.
Speaking to BetGoodwin, Sherwood said: “I like Frank—I think he’s a top manager. He’s a young English coach who has shown he can guide a team to promotion.
But if he isn’t given the right resources in the Premier League, he’ll likely end up getting fired.
People are quick to point fingers when a promoted side goes straight back down, saying ‘the manager isn’t up to it’—but I don’t agree. The responsibility lies with the club for not doing enough to help them survive.
Reaching the Premier League doesn’t come with a magic solution to stay there; Frank needs genuine support from both the board and the players to make it work.”
