Juliette Farrington

Were you easy to manage?

Would you have liked to have managed you?

And I'm Juliet Farrington.

Joe, it's the first time we've been together in 2026.

We're nearly at the end of January.

It's been quite some month, hasn't it, for both of us?

Yeah, from years gone by.

You don't really need to explain much about Frank Lampard, the player, one of England's brightest stars, won so much, everything with Chelsea.

But I've got a quiz question for you, Joe.

Who do you think he made his West Ham debut against almost to the day, the 31st of January, back in 1996?

And I was thinking to myself, what was I doing in 1996?

But as a 17-year-old, who did Frank Lampard make his West Ham debut against?

Commentary, where he is now.

Exactly, yes.

It is, isn't it?

Just things sometimes work out this way.

You'll hear in the interview that he has a photo of him coming on in that game, hanging in his office where he is now as manager.

So it was great to sit down with him and have a chat with him at the club that now he calls home.

And over the course of our conversation, we talked about what it's like going from player to manager,

How he hopes the culture around the club at Coventry will see them over the line to promotion to the Premier League.
