The taxi that delivered Lampard to Coventry might as well keep the engine running.
Frank, welcome back to the game.
You have been appointed as the new manager of Coventry City.
Why do you think you deserved this opportunity?
Yeah, look, you know, I've managed two absolutely massive Premier League teams.
I've managed Chelsea and then I managed Chelsea again.
But no, serious jokes aside, Everton are not a big club.
Growing up, you know, I was a really massive Coventry City supporter.
My heroes were Steva Grisovic, Yousef Chipo, Peter and Love and Mustafa Haji.
But no, serious, they must have an idiot running this club appointing me.
And Frank, what type of contract have you agreed with the club?
Yeah, look, Coventry have offered me a three-year contract.
I don't think I'll be here for three weeks, to be honest with you.
But no, seriously, I've already discussed the compensation package with the chairman
when I get sacked in half an hour.
Frank, of course, you're based in London.
Will you be moving to live here in Coventry?
Yeah, I've been given a nice guided tour of Coventry.
It's a lovely place.
11 minutes, I'll never forget.
There's a chippy, a pub and a corner shop.
That's about it, really.
But no, serious, you know, I'll be doing a 15-hour commute every single day.
Not a chance I'll be moving here.
You have a really big job.
What improvements are you hoping to make at the club?
Yeah, I think we're going to make massive changes.
The women's team needs to improve.
I've got a lot of respect for women's football.
Sometimes I wish I was a woman.
But no, serious, if I was, JT would have been all over me at Chelsea.
Big rumours are you'll want to bring your son Mason Mountain on loan.
Is that true?
Yeah, look, I spoke to Mason about coming here on loan.
And, you know, he said to me, Frank, why on earth would I want to play for,
you know, a championship level team with really crap players?
And I said to him, well, you're already us and you're at Man United.
But no, serious, Mason will be announced in the next five minutes.
The Coventry supporters loved Mark Robbins.
Do you have a message for them to win them over, Frank?
Yeah, look, you know, I've got massive respect for Mark Robbins.
But he's gone now, so see you later, mate.
On your way, on your bike.
See you later.
But no, serious, I'm the daddy now.
