Well the results are in and a number of stats are positive for Frank Lampard who scored a rating of 6.90 at season's end.

While not as high as his initial 7.32, 6.90 is a significant 1.47 point increase over his v2.0 result. That 1.47 is the second highest ever poll to poll improvement, bettered only by Marco Silva who won fans over with a winning run at the end of his first season in charge and saw a 3.05 point increase.

We have also had three managers take over mid season since polling began and Frank's 6.90 is the highest end of season score for any of them. Fat Sam finished his dismal spell with 1.49 but even Carlo Ancelotti could only manage a 6.60 score at the end of his first partial season in charge.

Without failure, each man in charge has seen an uplift in rating from the end of one season to the beginning of the next as new season optimism influences the opinions of the fans so we may see Frank's stock rise again before the next ball is kicked in anger. However this will be the first season in some time where EFC will be restricted financially so our transfer business may be less exciting than in the recent past. However it's difficult to imagine our squad could look any weaker on paper by next August so it shouldn't have a negative impact on how the fans view FL
