maxjam Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 13 minutes ago, Highgate said: The Pearson appointment, didn't work because Mel appointed a manager completely unsuited to the players at the club in my opinion. That was largely down to Mel. I would argue that Pearson got Leicester out of the Championship playing good football, an experienced manager should be able to change his approach to get the best out of the players under his charge. Pearsons main fault was trying to change things to quickly - a manager of experience surely should have known that was a bad thing? 13 minutes ago, Highgate said: I think as a general principle, when filling any job position. If a person has a history of success in that role that is surely seen a a positive. If they are a total novice, that generally counts against them. Why is it any different for football managers? In the normal world, yeah I'd agree but this is football. It doesn't really matter who you are, if player power takes against you, you're out - its happened to Premier League winning managers and its happened at Derby, football is a unique business. Nigel Clough despite working his way up through the leagues gaining experience was always frowned upon yet top players frequently get top jobs as their first job - some succeed and some fail. Given that lower investment is expected for next season, unlike Nigel Pearson's season promotion won't really be expected - its the perfect time to try Lampard imo, if it doesn't work we won't have lost much, but if it does... Well, at least it will be exciting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Oh, and any appointment that splits up the forums Ross & Rachel @RoyMac5 & @kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong can only be a good thing, those ? were becoming incredibly nauseating. Not sure if I'm more interested in how Derby do or who becomes love sick the first and jumps over the other side of the fence for a smooch ?

He know the Premiership alright, and it's multi-millionaire bubble. I think it's really a measure of how lfar we've fallen as a club that we're all actually excited at the prospect It's like we're all terminally ill and Frank Lampard is the club's make-a-wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the blokes he gave a job to (which his job), who you think should get the praise, haven't done a very good job either, then? Contradictory. We have been category 1 for how long? With significant investment in the academy for how long? It was only 10 years a go Billy Davies scrapped it all. The three games you mention - he was perhaps out of his depth due to the fact he's an academy manager, maybe????? But how that proves he can't run an academy doesn't add up. The question was - why is he lucky to have a job? Answer it. Where have I said they should get praise?! "Its mainly Short and Lyons anyway"..in reference to anything done with the u23s ie training etc. So wtf are you on about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt Pearson's ability to change that much. You might be right about it being a good time for Lampard. You would hope that given the financial situation, that fans wouldn't be expecting too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Modern football is about pzazz and glamour so why the hell not. Go on Mel, give Frank the job, sell a couple of thousand more season tickets and raise the profile of our club. Yeah it’s a gamble but somehow it just feels it’s the right time and the right person.....don’t know why, it just does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
