Frank Lampard responds to Everton takeover talk and outlines his approach

Everton manager Frank Lampard insists it’s just business as usual for him amid new suggestions of a potential US takeover of the club.

Hot on the heels of fresh claims that Minnesota-based real estate tycoon Maciek Kaminski retains an interest in buying the Blues after talks over the summer, another party has emerged in the shape of the LAMF Global Ventures Corp special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) led by Los Angeles film producers and investors Jeff Soros and Simon Horsman, advised by former Everton director Keith Harris with a report stating they have held preliminary discussions with Everton chiefs.

Asked if he blanked those kinds of things out to focus on his own role, Lampard said: “Absolutely. It’s probably something that I probably don’t know enough about and probably can’t affect, certainly can’t affect other than doing my job well, because I think that makes every conversation better whether I’m part of them or not and the question when you ask me is much more positive than the back end of last season.
