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.

“So I think my job is to coach this team and to build relationships with the team, with the fans and the people above me and I have to say since I’ve been here, the relationship I have with the chairman, the CEO and the owner have been great.
"I think that alignment that we’ve found and we’re searching for, has helped us improve and let’s hope that we can continue with that because it won’t always be rosy.
“Improvement doesn’t happen in a straight line, it can take its hits, I’m not naïve enough to think that because we’re unbeaten in a few games that everything is great. In terms of communication between the club, I’m happy at the minute and as you say, those things are not really for me to dwell on at all really.”
