King Kevin Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 So mother in law ,sister in law ,niece ,wife and number two daughter are all round today and off to the pub we go me and 5 women oh joy. They never talk about football and here they are going on about Frank Lampard's Derby County and they say they have heard it mentioned on womens programmes etc etc . Now I am as pleased as anyone to have him here after the previous dhead but it should be Derbys manager ,Frank Lampard FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yes, it is becoming very wearisome very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 As long as it keeps our profile up in the media and keeps attracting players to Derby, it’s fine by me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Who cares. I must admit when my missus heard we had Frank as our manager the first thing she said was at least I know who he is. She continued that she had heard of Brian Clough but he was useless and we did far better when we sacked him and got McClaren in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Well if we get promoted he can have the keys to the city as well. It don’t bother me in the slightest. Remember what happened when Sam Longstone got jealous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Inevitable when the manager is more famous than the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Is it that a big deal? Pep Guardiola is more famous than Manchester City for instance. As long as he gets us back to the Premier League, I couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Don't care. We were called Steve McClaren's Derby County, and that was fun. If the circus wants us to be Frank Lampard's Derby County, that will be fun too, because his profile is a massive pull. Players want to come here as opposed to going elsewhere..

irobinson Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 not bothered at all - he's earned his fame and respect he also appears to be a very honest, bright but humble human being We have come a long way in the last two months IMO lets hope he can conjure up some attractive football - with players who can play with spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Doesn't bother me at all! Even now you only have to mention the name of Derby County to a neutral or even a football hater and they will say BRIAN CLOUGH! If one day Frank's name is linked likewise that suits me!

SaintRam Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 "Frank Lampard's Derby County" reads and sounds better than "Derby County, managed by Frank Lampard". It's pretty simple. Also, this isn't a new thing due to us having Frank Lampard. You're just seeing it more because our profile is now bigger and more places are talking about us. Sure, its more common with Frank and I understand its important to find things to be unhappy about, but its always going to be a reality of the situation. The truth is, in many contexts, Frank Lampard is actually bigger than Derby County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If it generates interest it generates column inches, if it generates column inches it generates revenue, if it generates revenue it generates funds for new/better/exciting players, if it generates funds for new/better/exciting players it generates new/better/exciting football, if it generates new/better/exciting football it generates success, if it generates success who gives a flying duck!!!!
