Another <\/span>ex-Chelsea boss, in the form of Blues legend Lampard<\/span><\/a>is also said to be registering on Fulham\u2019s recruitment radar. His reputation in coaching circles has been rebuilt at Coventry – with the Sky Blues being <\/span>returned to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n There is still a job to be done there, but could the 47-year-old be talked into jumping ship before the many challenges of life in the top-flight are faced in the West Midlands?<\/span><\/p>\n Murphy said when presented with that poser: \u201cI would understand another club trying to get him. What he’s done at Coventry is nothing short of remarkable in a short space of time. The way they play football, he’s improved players, knows the Premier League like the back of his hand, managed in the Prem for Everton and Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI just can’t see, when he’s done that job getting them up and got the fans behind him, why… Well, there’s always a why – security, finances, there’s loads of reasons for managers and players to move. We all know that. I would understand Fulham trying, but I would be surprised if Frank’s loyalty didn’t keep him there, just to give it one go at Coventry and try and keep them up.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIf he does manage to keep them up, a bit like Sunderland this year, it’d be a phenomenal achievement with the budget they’ve had. They haven’t been bouncing around from the Premier League to the Championship. They haven’t got a squad full of Premier League or half-Premier League players. I think he’ll see the challenge through. Although, part of me would be pleased if Fulham got him. Sorry, Coventry fans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another ex-Chelsea boss, in the form of Blues legend Lampardis also said to be registering on Fulham\u2019s recruitment radar.
