StaffsRam Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Odd to consider the reaction to most of our more successful Managers being appointed. Even back to Clough really. Clough, Cox, TBE, Schteve - none were particularly fancied upon arrival were they. That being said, I can't actually think of one that genuinely excited me - perhaps Billy, but that was before he outed himself as a poisonous nutter.

Complete and utter madness. But there is method to the madness, we’ve been told this season would be one of scaling back, introducing youth, we wouldn’t be trusting a rookie with a large transfer kitty that could go horribly wrong. It’s a time where the loan system may be looked at, Lampard’s name would open doors at Chelsea, possibly Man City, earn the respect in the dressing room for what he has achieved in the game. It is just a name, so was Clough Jr at the time to a certain extent, whilst he did have lower league experience he did bring a lot of excitement initially, not for myself personally but others, why? The Clough connection, the romance of it all. Lampard doesn’t have any connection to Derby, he doesn’t have any experience, but his name would bring excitement, put bums back on seats and put us under the national spotlight, giving a legend of the game his first opportunity in football. We’ve sat here all season calling for youth to be given a chance, why not extend that to the manager/head coach. It might not happen, just a load of bets and the real name isn’t even out there yet who knows, maybe it’s the gambler in me but I would love us to go for Lampard, it’s completely bonkers, and we would need an older assistant, even advisor, just someone to guide him through. I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve ,,,, daft I know but it’s one exciting punt ,,, let’s hear all them pundits telling lampard his club are bottlers ?

needles Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I always wonder how much is actually bet on these markets and how much £100 would shift the odds. Quite a way I suspect. I always try to see the upside with any new manager, and it's not hard to find one with a big name like Frank Lampard. Why not? Can't see it though.

StaffsRam Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Probably Mel plonking a load of £££s down on Lamps at Ladbrokes to bring us around to the idea of a novice taking over.....then they'll announce Igor.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think Fat Frank might be a good appointment but nobody knows for sure. Im happy to take the gamble probably has loads of contacts for loans It was actually Johann Cruyff that did all the work at Barcelona and it was him that aranged for Guardiola to carry on his brilliance.Pep has admitted he learned everything from him.Also having a little Argentinian genius up front helps!

Kinder Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I’d be excited by the idea of Lampard but his lack of any kind of experience would really worry me. This is a very tough job to take on. We’ve got a squad Frankenstein would be proud of, little money to spend by all accounts and a huge weight of expectation. I’d expect he could tap into exciting loans from the Prem bit We’d surely have to shift some deadwood to free up space on the wage bill. And who’s going to help with that? From what I can see there’s absolutely no-one in place on the football side of things other than the manager, hence Mel and the FD doing the interviewing! Lampard would need a director of football or similar with experience to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I can't believe I spent so much of my poo time googling Dean Smith and Lee Johnson. What a waste of poo! My 3 poo breaks today will be all about Lampard. There's no one else now - it has to be Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.O.F ??that just might work ???? That would be a great step up from GR with no D.O.F.... Av RAM must have contacts everywhere and as a D.O.F (jumping to conclusions I know) but just imagine the good faith he and FL would get from major clubs across the world too (loan market may be our strategy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
