After all our crashing and burning under pressure its a cheek to say how easy it is to get promotion! Didn't their form go off a cliff as they limped over the line under Roy Mac?

Sounds familiar doesn't it? He took over Cloughs squad and got them promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I can't think of a worse appointment than Lampard. Why would we want someone who has never even been a coach? If he fails, he"ll fail expensively. All his playing experience is with clubs that have spent money like water. His likely mentor has a proud record of bankrupting clubs. On the other hand, if he succeeds in getting us into the top 6 by Christmas, he'll be off when PL clubs start sacking managers in the new year.

Anag Ram Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 4-6 favourite. Could this really be happening? Exciting and scary like a first date. Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be a bunny boiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the optimist , if it's one thing I've learnt about being a Rams fan of late you can't look into things to deeply , go with the moment.

Sparkle Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 If this has any legs it would be incredibly risky- intresting but very very risky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexPartlett Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Whatever happens we won't be going down. Too many fans still have this illusion that we are owed promotion or playoffs. Yeah, Lampard might lead us to mid-table, but let's be honest are we really going to get higher in our current state anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 We may have to rely on loans next season so hopefully Lampard has a decent relationship with Chelsea and Man City...we could benefit from good contacts like we did with Clement, his contacts at Blackburn proved invaluable ??

JAT Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Personally I find this exciting. Someone new, rather the same old appointments. We need fresh blood in football and the championship is an ideal place to cut teeth. Great level of football and all the stresses of the premier league, it not more. Any appointment is a risk, but Lampard at the club would be good for our profile, could possibly bring on the youth and could inspire the first team.

Stive Pesley Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Woke up to see that Twitter has gone loopy with the Lampard love - WTF? At least if it happens it will be the nudge I need to cancel my season ticket and do something better with my £400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers took a “risk” with Gerrard.... and Lampard for me has his head screwed on more than the scouser. Fed up of all these “romance” managers / former players etc - it’s not worked with any of them. It’s time for a fresh approach and a new age Derby County. ?

Why is it? Just because something worked well at one club doesn't mean it will work at another, and because something didn't work doesn't mean it won't work elsewhere. The only way it can effect previous experience has is whether or not the manager questions his methods and tries to do it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm - much easier to take a risk when you're Rangers and playing in a league with a load of minnows. A far easier job than that which would await Lampard at Derby I dont understand why people think Lampard is switched on - he always came across to me like the archetypal thicko footballer A fresh approach it may be, but one I'd rather watch go wrong from a distance thanks.

jagerbob Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Whoever it is, has to bide their time, and fans have to be appreciative of the fact that only 3 left and were out of contract this summer, whereas next summer half the squad is out of contract, and then a real shift in squad names can begin if need be.

Always personal choice ,,, sad you would stop watching derby if lampard given the job but in fairness it seems the numbers who would stop watching because of lampard compared with rowett staying is a big indicator and it seems many more are actually energised by the possible appointment of lampard and would be encouraged to get into or back into going to games ,,, you can5 please everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
