Are you being serious Roy Mac or taking the pi*s? I know you are chuffed to bits that GR has left but can we have just a little bit of common sense in the discussion.....

Legends from history, Bobby Charlton & Bobby Moore turned out to be terrible managers But I'm now of the mind that just some excitement on & off the pitch is worth the risk, even if it's not Lampard but someone else.

Please NO!!! I just don't get how he is a viable candidate...He's never managed and surely we need someone with some experience....... Exactly. What's his "world experience?". He's led a closeted life in the football bubble where a £50 quid bottle of champagne is for tipping over his mate's head because there's plenty more where that came from. I suspect that Nigel C might describe him as a "fancy Dann". We need somebody with people skills...and management nouse and hunger in his belly, not a belly full of oysters and chablis.

We need an every man who can talk to our salt-of-the-earth lads on 50k a week, rather than somebody who is used to earning lots of money in football.

wixman1884 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Lamps will bring enormous publicity, a wealth of contacts and some general goodwill. He comes off as a lovely bloke too. Not my first choice, and certainly a real roll of the dice, but I can't say I'm not excited at the prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Am staggered this idea is actually gaining some traction. There a number of challenges with this squad & football club which a number of managers have been unable to solve including an ex-England manager, a man who laid the foundations of a Premiership winning team & an ex-Real Madrid number 2. I have no idea why the next logical step is to give the job to someone with no prior managerial experience on the basis of 'well, everyone has failed...why not. At least he's exciting'. Where's the plan with that? Just wing it? Lampard's high IQ is also totally irrelevant to the position. Football management involves a whole range of skills - communication & motivation being two of the key attributes that have nothing to do with a MENSA test. We need a manager to work to a budget, adopt an attractive style of play & placate a demanding fanbase & chairman. A novice manager will inevitably want to try things & make many mistakes before they settle on a style that suits them - totally understandable but the place to do that is not at Derby County.

Agree with many points in your post, but I’m not sure about this one. If we are due a slashing of the wage bill, a dampening of expectations will come with it. The remit will be slash the wage bill and keep us in the top 21 next season. That is arguably an environment ripe for a young manager wanting breathing space to make mistakes. I doubt the Lampard rumours are true, but if we’re going to be trimming this summer, we’re going to be able to attract people with something to prove. Our realistic short list will be Has Beens and Not Yets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good post. As an aside, there could be a lot at stake for Mel Morris here too. Another bad appointment and the fans will starting saying that we're worse off thanks to his tenure.
