Yes me too...I feel like I'm in this twilight fantasy world where everything derby county is great.

I am waiting for a cloud to come and piss on my parade, enter Paul Thirlwell.

Well Ramps said they would be moving here as they've lived in lots of places during his career.

Has "Frank" replaced "Tommy Tank" in the dictionary of rhyming slang or something?

You are clearly on a downer regarding this appointment. What aspect of management specifically do you expect Lampard to struggle with?

I still don't see your point, what's the difference between our new manager being someone thats unheard of as against someone that the global press has heard of,  either scenario still results in the same end product which is someone without any football league management experience being appointed as our manager? 

I understand this. Yet you seemed mystified as to why people are so excited.

I’m trying to explain people are excited because it’s big news. Never mind.

Depending on which part of Derbyshire they choose to set up home in, Mrs Frank could be very close to Manchester or Liverpool, lots of trendy shopping and dining in both locations.

If it was Zinedine Zidane then could understand the frenzy. Not Frank Lampard whose never managed a football league club in his existence.

There's an interesting article on the BBC Football website which tries to expand on which party carries the largest risk in this deal Frank Lampard or Derby County.  In the end it doesnt really answer it's own question.

Seems the national press have been churning out a few articles on Frank.

Which bit of Derbyshire is very close to Liverpool? (West Derby doesn’t count, just for the record...)

If we had signed a manager who had just won his third Champions League trophy in the last three years, I admit, I'd be much more excited than I am now. 

The reason people are excited, and this is the god's honest truth, is because we have a manager now who is much bigger than our club. In fact, we have a manager now who is bigger than any Championship club and bigger than most Premier League clubs. 

I think the alternative would have been Mick McCarthy, possibly, maybe Mark Warburton. Unfortunately, we didn't have an obvious choice like we had when we picked up Pearson, but look how that turned out. 

[Rosythram]

The point of “We didn’t have an obvious choice “ isn’t strictly true is it?

The club did have an obvious choice and in actual fact made it.

Mr Frank Lampard.
