I want to look forward to every game and come out of pride park feeling like ive been through the wringer and will never get my voice back. Yessss! Same here. I just want to look forward to the next game. I want to be gutted if I have to wait 10/14 days for it. I want to say "I wish we were playing sooner" Shrugged my shoulders through all of last season. We won? Yay. We lost? Oops. We made the top 6? Yay. We lost in the play offs? Oh dear. I want a team and manager I can admire. Not one that I watch and think "You boring negative tossers. I paid money and sat in traffic and it's -4 out here!!" I don't care if it's Frank Lampard or Frank Warren. I don't care if it's Dean Smith or Delia Smith . Just be positive and fun. That and progress. Even slow progress will do me. If it's Lampard they'll be moments of naive play. Like with Clement. I hope people understand that. I don't think Rowett was ever naive. Never really took stupid risks. But the result was he fecked off to Stoke leaving us an old squad in the same division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to put out the word the well is dry and try and get vfm!! That’s always been my take/hope on this subject, for too long have we been the cashcows of the Championship. Mel will have set plans out for whoever takes charge at PP with budgets etc, the loan market certainly needs exploiting with the connections Frank Lampard has. IMHO its a no brainer. ??????

ashram Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Lampard seems like a nice enough bloke. And as many have said on here he should have some decent connects? But shouldn't he be cutting his teeth as a lower league manager. Oxford, Burton etc... It's a huge gamble with an established Championship club like ours. If he comes; which seems highly likely... then we better hope he comes with an experienced coaching team around him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also say that anything below the championship is not the right place for someone like lampard to start as it’s too far removed from the football he has played in for the past 10/ 15 years and it doesn’t translate , equally you have lower league managers who can’t/ won’t cut it at the higher levels , I would say championship is spot on level for him to start ,, dealing in the main with players aspiring to play at the level he did and players who have played at that level and perhaps comming to the twilight of their careers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just because he was an exciting player, doesn't mean he hasn't been a student of Pulis and Rowett how to manage a team... quite apart from if he's got it to manage, will he/can he make the team in his own image?

Ramet Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 10 hours ago, Papahet said: Derby County, whose volatile owner chairman Mel Morris has got through six managers in three years, admit there is a new austere regime coming at Pride Park, with the football budget slashed after missing promotion to the Premier League. This prompts the question of why Frank Lampard, a highly intelligent model professional who will have numerous offers down the line, has chosen Derby to begin his managerial career - Daily Mail A tad harsh. We have the foundations in place, im sure theres money there otherwise we wouldnt have gone for James Mcclean back in January. We are better off than Ipswich, who Lampard originally went for. Maybe just maybe mel is not the volitile owner he often gets made out to be.just maybe the last few managers got there self sacked due to there own failings, football or otherwise.maybe frank sees this club a real pull ie youth set up etc.tranfer money will bother frank alot less than you think.

DavesaRam Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 A number of people have said they don't understand the positive reaction to the likely appointment of Frankie boy, but apart from the Paul Clement signing, Derby have played it safe for years and years, and it has got us nowhere. I think the positive reaction is because we have dared to say "Why the hell not?". "Shall we just "go for it"?" There is something very attractive about the prospect of taking one hell of risk on the basis of "Why not?" COME ON YOU RAMS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
