Lallana role.

Current Under-21s Manager Simon Rusk will take charge of the team on an interim basis until we announce a permanent replacement.

April 7th:

In the meantime, Simon Rusk has agreed to take charge of the team as Interim Manager for the remaining seven fixtures of this season and will be assisted by Adam Lallana.

 

Rickie Lambert had an interesting anecdote during the Sports Hour on Radio Solent. Said the wins started coming under Adkins when the players specifically ignored a specific aspect of Adkins' tactics. Said that Lallana was a powerful voice who knew his mind and that it was likely in the remaining games that we'll see the players who have the workrate that he sees acceptable.

Found it interesting that he was specifically included in the announcement this time, compared to December and think it could be a very different 7 games with Lallana's involvement.

Lallana needs to come out and explain how he appeared on the frontpage of the Sun newspaper in 2013

That should give him a squad of about three players to pick from.

I suspect Lambert is talking crap as we won Adkins third game in charge and he won 10 of the first 16 with 3 draws and 3 losses. I highly doubt the players started ignoring him after 2 games.

Specifically in the Premier League season, he was taking about.

Yeah I really wouldn’t trust a word Lambert says anymore. How’s his talking to water going?

Just as Rofe was in charge of the cones, I expect Lallana will be in charge of handing out the Alice bands.

Lallana obviously a popular choice  !

He will fill the "sickly cuddle" 🤮 role so they don`t miss Russ so much, he will use his Klopp experience

It's saying "New Nivea Water. More moisturising than the best nature can provide! Why not talk to our salesman about it, and coaching opportunities?"

Lallana will be a top coach in my opinion .

yes he reminds me of a young frank lampard - if he's half the coach Frank is he will be some coach. We are lucky to have him on the bus

Isn't that dangerous? Carrying a coach by bus?

Fair play to Lallana , he must have taken a large pay cut to take on the new roll . Hats off to him , I didn’t know he was so dedicated .

No need for a pay cut, he is still a registered player until 30th June.

What are you saying ? 
Is he an assistant or a player ? 
surely can’t be an assistant on ‘ players  contract ‘ . That would make him one of the best paid coaches/assistance in the league right

A player/assistant manager duel role until his contract expires on 30th June 2025. The club would just be paying what they already agreed to pay him. There isn't that many weeks left on it.

If he remains at the club beyond the summer as a coach that would be the point for a big reduction in wages from what he is currently on.

I doubt we'll see him play much, if at all. Perhaps final game of the season he'll have a cameo as a final goodbye.
