TIM Sherwood believes Frank Lampard will end up sacked if Coventry City do not give him the right support in the Premier League.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa boss turned Sky Sports pundit finished his playing career with the Sky Blues, making 11 appearances for the club in the 2004/05 season.
Sherwood heaped praise on Lampard after he guided Coventry to the Championship title last season in his first full campaign at the helm.
However, Sherwood insists Lampard can only succeed with the Sky Blues in the Premier League if the club give him the right tools.
Speaking to BetGoodwin, Sherwood said: “I like Frank I think he’s a great manager.
“He’s a young English manager who has proved he can take a team to promotion, but if he isn’t given the tools to succeed in the Premier League, he’ll probably end up getting sacked.
“People start pointing fingers when a newly promoted club is immediately relegated, saying ‘the manager isn’t good enough’ but I don’t think that’s the case.
“It is on the club for not doing enough to help them stay up.
“Getting to the Premier League doesn’t give you a magic wand to stay there, Frank needs to be given the support from the club and the players in order to do that.”
