The international break is fast becoming the irritating hiatus encountered just as the Premier League is getting interesting. The transfer window closes, three games have taken place, a league table of sorts is starting to assemble and then..’ Halt’ whilst world cup qualifiers -most a foregone conclusion – take centre stage for a weekend.
Frustrating. However the break does give space for air time for stories and rumours that might not have seen the light of day without the breathing space offered by a lack of Premier League football. That could be one of the many reasons that the reports of Frank Lampard being offered the West Ham job should Graham Potter be sacked appear to be still circulating this very weekend.

Could it be true that the board – well known for their cack-handedness with supporter PR – would authorise an approach to former West Ham and Chelsea midfielder who is still public enemy number one with many West Ham supporters and in any case, has not exactly pulled up trees as a moderate level Championship manager?
When asked ‘any truth in the story?’, specifically the footballinsider247.come ‘exclusive’ claiming ‘West Ham make move for Frank Lampard“- Claret and Hugh’s high ranking source inside West Ham was clear:
“Not True”.
So take reassurance. However many crass or wrong decisions taken at West Ham United’s board level in recent weeks, months and years, planning to appoint Frank Lampard as Graham Potter’s successor isn’t, and has not been one of them.
