A treble in 16-17, a quadruple in 2017-18. 59 wins, 9 draws, 5 defeats, 223 goals, 57 conceded, 41 clean sheets. ALWAYS Chelsea. Best of luck at Derby @morriskid. ? ? It's a great record and I'm sure he is an excellent coach, however I don't think we should get overly excited yet. Chelsea collect talented youngsters like I used to collect panini stickers. Look at how many they have out on loan. Whilst they would look to appoint a talented coach, an u18 academy coach is not in charge of youth recruitment. Hopefully he will be a good appointment but we have little evidence to suggest he will be exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sounds very promising. Hope it manifests into success for Lampard, Jody Morris and DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not especially bothered about Lampard's or Morris' strong Chelsea connections. Nothing wrong with an ambition to manage a top 4 club & the only way they'd be considered for that would be to take Derby back into Europe. They'll be looking at Derby very dispassionately & as a project - I like that. We can be afford to be emotional about our club, I'd rather decision makers weren't. Definitely see Morris' appointment as good news & only serves to confirm the emphasis on youth. Yes, senior players are vital to remaining competitive initially but the main target is remoulding the squad. Am very interested to see what he makes of our Academy & how quickly certain players (Elsnik, Guy & Lowe) are pushed into first team action.

A club at the arse end of the PL sees a former player with strong club connections doing well just a few places below them... But this is why it's important that Lampard builds a young hungry fearless team. We need him to follow the vision Mel set out but abandoned for the flirting of Rowett and Pearson. No chance he'd go back there. Their fans absoutely hate him and started the fat frank songs. He always celebrated like mad when he scored against them. It'd be like us signing kenny burns as manager because he played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which hasn't been so unbelievable since leaving us. I mean Nathan Tyson waved a flag in our faces and Savage was a complete tit yet we signed them and they got support. I bet if Lampard looks a top end Champ manager and the natural move is to the PL that West Ham will look to rekindle. Stories of his uncle Arry and Frank Snr. Before you know it West Ham fans will accept that he left 200 years ago to go to a club that provided him a platform they could never match and he's "coming home" And then Chelsea take him again after he's done well there. Or... He's crap and West Ham carry on mocking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Now I've got to open my bottle of Gulden Draak. Totally worth it. The Golden Dragon (in Dutch, Gulden Draak) sits on top of the Belfort in Gent - the city I was in today, and it is considered to be a good omen. Cheers.

Just don't see it being any more likely or less likely they're going to attract him given the recent negative history he had with them compared to say an Everton or Newcastle. Also, last part of your comment, just to clarify, i'm well on board with having Frank as manager. Hopefully exciting times to come and hope he does so well that given the success we might have to worry about him being poached! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Frank hates West Ham and they hate Frank. He's far more likely to manage the national side IMO but before we start speculating on where he'll go next, perhaps we should enjoy having him here at Derby. Should he be poached at some point in the future it'll be because he was successful here and right now that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The thing that appeals is that Frank will genuinely listen to him when he says “this kid is good enough for the first team” i think pressures on the manager to “do anything but lose” has held back youth opportunities because they have opted to play safe. breath of fresh air and a change of emphasis ... got to be good COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edtheram Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Think its going to help us no end having Jody and Frank teamed up. Both are good with youth and both are exciting. Will be good to see which youth lads here they fancy and which lads from other clubs they think will improve us. Only time will tell, but......were on our way.
