Maybe it wasn’t a rehearsal at all. Maybe it actually was Frank but then we started the comeback and Doug had to radio him and tell him to fly past and wait for another time.

My eldest didn’t see us lose for two years, all it took was three or four shite draws and losses and the winter time and she lost interest.

Lampard’s Derby team was not stronger than Villa or Leeds. On what metrics was his time in the Championship ‘woeful?’

I don’t think you’re being fair to say Lampard didn’t develop Mount (or anyone else). He came to Derby as an Eredivisie player, became a top Championship player and the season after was a key player for a UCL side. Looking at Yasin Ayari this year, are Robins and Eustace bad managers because they couldn’t get him playing well last season? Of course not.

Tactically, he was found out a few times in the Prem. Which isn’t a blot on your career of 3-4 seasons as a new manager. We’re a Championship side.

You know what, there isn’t actually a better candidate than Lampard out there atm so for the sake of the team and our club, we should all be hoping Lampard will smash it here.
Click to expand...
Ask County fans they will tell ya.
He relied heavily on individual brilliance from the likes of Wilson and Mount to drag them up the table.

But even so, Roy Keane got Sunderland from the foot of the Championship to the Premier League and then got sacked and completely fucked it at Ipswich, there is a reason he hasn't had a managerial job since.

Lampards stint at Everton and his second stint at Chelsea was absolutely woeful.
He isn't good enough to take this club a level above what apparently Mark Robins wasn't capable of doing.

Robins will land Shef U, Sunderland, Leeds, Norwich, West Brom as soon as one of those teams start loosing games.
All of those clubs would laugh at thought of Lampard taking charge.

Lampard will turn Sheaf into a fucking headless chicken with his piss poor tactics, just you wait and see.
This illusion Lampard is incredible at developing younger players, we already had a much better man in Ady and Robins when it came to that, and all of us were all agreeing we need experience in the side not youth.

So why the fuck would you then look at Lampard. Embaressing if he is hired.

Go and hire a current Championship coach Doug, you have apparently provided this club the "best deck" in 20 years so why would you then go and hand it to a less experienced, tactically weak and quite frankly piss poor manager in Frank Lampard, ahhh it's because his name is Frank Lampard that's why.

Mixed messaging here. On the one hand you're slating Lampard,on the other hand you're saying he'll improve Sheaf.

On the contrary, I think he could really improve Sheaf, Rudoni & Eccles. He's had 3 jobs. 2 of those clubs were basket cases at the time but he kept Everton up and got Chelsea into Europe (under a transfrer embargo). Derby made the play off final in his one season.
He's a smart bloke, was a brilliant player, and has a point to prove. It will be a good appointment.

He's statistically the 2nd worse Everton manager of all time.
Not sure why people keep glossing over that?

As I keep repeating, I only care about what he does here, but basket case club or not, he was shite at Everton.

Everton are one of the longest standing top division clubs. Staying up is the bare minimum. Likewise Chelsea weren’t many years past a title win and finished 3rd the season before and the season after Lampard. Neither are particularly spectacular achievement.

Good managers who manage good players rely on individual brilliance. What nonsense is this?

You and many others on these threads respond to someone’s achievements with ‘yeah but x, y and z’, it’s sad.

He’s the fourth best candidate on the rumoured shortlist of four even if I don’t know the name of one of them.

Surely anyone who has been following the club post Strachan and pre-Robins is fearful of what might happen now, with the potential of landing a string of shitty short term managers starting with Lampard. I really hope he succeeds, but I've got a horrible feeling in my gut.

I am not fearful. We are in possibly the best shape on and off the pitch since the premier league and possibly further back than that. Any manager is a gamble. The difference between success and failure in the championship is pretty small.

Chelsea finished 3rd the season before with Eden Hazard in the team who was one of the best players in the world at the time. He scored 21 goals and because of the transfer embargo couldn't be replaced when he left in the summer.

Although it is exactly the thing King would do, not sure his fragile ego would cope with the dogs abuse he would get if his appointment lost his first two matches after sacking the most popular Coventry manager in the modern era.

He did not keep Everton up, they were getting relegated, he was sacked around Christmas, Dyche kept them up.
