People have been going on about Dean Smith but for all his plus points he's never actually won anything in his managerial career. It's a pretty bold statement to say Lampard can't manage without knowing anything about what he's been doing in-between playing and now. You've not seen him interview and you don't know the way he wants to play. We know he's a risk but Zidane won his 3rd champions league in a row last night, he had as much as experience as Lampard when he took the role. Everyone is available if the price is right. After all we've got £2 million quid for punting Rowett onto Stoke City in the kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the evidence that Lampard can't manage a team? What's the alternative? Emply Nigel Pearson because he once coached Leicester to the PL? Lampard could be a great choice with ideas that go beyond setting up cones on a training field and picking the starting XI. There needs to be some clear plan or identity put in place... How do you know there isn't one? The point is we don't know. It's a gamble. A huge gamble. Do we need to gamble? I'm not sure we do. Playing red and black at the casino is exciting. But I wouldn't bet my house on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Zidane managed Real Madrid B in Spanish equivalent of the championship Lampard has been a coach on the Chelsea u18 team managed by Jody Morris. He wasn't the manager but a coach. Not the u23s. The U18s. Kids. Some of whom are still at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing red and black at the casino is exciting. But I wouldn't bet my house on it Do we need to gamble? Every managerial appointment is a gamble - why is this any different? We’re Derby County, not Man City or Bayern Munich, therefore we’re limited to managers just starting out or managers who have both suceeded and failed elsewhere. There is no such thing as a safe managerial appointment in the Championship when the aim is promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If you’re reading this mel, don’t listen to it, the OP is clearly nigel Pearson out to derail us again? In all seriousness, Lampard is a risk but it’s one worth taking. Lampard or mick McCarthy? Frank all day for me, let’s be having them Chelsea youths!

archied Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If you are reading this mel ,get a move on mate and get the contract s signed , you are a business man and as such you will know the massive commercial sense that appointing lampard at this point in derby and lampard evolution makes ,, against on the other side of the scales the fact that every appointment is a risk anyway in terms of will it work out whether experienced or not. i say get a move on because those twits ( with an a) at Aston Villa have now lost the play off final and with John Terry already there will no doubt be eying the whole lampard appointment thing too ,,,,,, get it done mate quick smart ,I’m sick of villa latching on to our ideas then beating us to the punch ,,,, if villa nip in and take lampard you will have a very very flat club and set of supporters for any manager to try to lift next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelBlimp Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Expectations at Villa too high for a first timer methinks. They have to be looking at top 2 next season as a requirement. Villa should get Warnock in to do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
