Frank Lampard believes keeping Everton in the Premier League would be bigger than winning the title as a player given the stakes involved, and admits his managerial reputation has been on the line since he replaced Rafael Benítez in January.
Lampard has become so consumed by the challenge of securing Everton’s top-flight status, and avoiding the financial disaster of relegation, that he considers it more important than the three Premier League titles he won during a glittering career with Chelsea. Everton visit relegated Watford on Wednesday hoping to record back-to-back away wins for the first time this season and Lampard has urged his players to seize the opportunity.
