tannerall 25,935 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Reported to have had talks already, and looks like a done deal. Gerrard and Lampard, will be interesting to see how they compare, two great England players, both having successful backgrounds in Europe and domestically. Given the choice I'd still have had Gerrard as our manager, but it's a close call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALerone 633 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm just glad its not the usual Allardyce Moyes Hughes Pulis name we already had that with McClaren and Pearson. Even fucking Warburton's name was dropped this week ? TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inelegant guy who actually has a love for our club from a young age, and married into a ST holding family from Belfast. Great guy. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately in this fucked up world, Derby have much more money than us and their fans are satisfied just staying in the Championship whilst we have real expectations of league titles and Champions League qualification, so arguably Lampard has the much easier job as a rookie manager.

They've had about 5 managers in 5 years because they keep failing to get promoted as well as running at a loss to try and achieve it so not sure how you can say they're satisfied with being in the Championship. Lampard will do well to last a full season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby aren't a small team. Teams like Bournemouth, Burnley and Huddersfield are competing and doing well in the league above and like the poster above said they've gone through a ton of managers lately to try and get promoted.

hammer93 15,024 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm watching lampards press conference......I loved lamps as a player and a bit inside me was thinking maybe lampard could of got our gig but the vibe from SG press conference is one of lot more seriousness....probably the magnitude of the 2 jobs being different expectation levels. I wish lampard all the best but feel we have got the more astute of the 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
