Instructions unclear, he’s gone on holiday to Thailand for a week instead.

It was literally the stats the OP discussed. Robins had had two appointments before us so I took Lampards last two. Sorry reality has a well known anti-Lampard bias I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Aside from anything else we’ve done ex Chelsea players to death with Viveash. Cant we scavenge off a different big club for a bit?

Rotherham and Barnsley actually. Huddersfield and Scunthorpe were after his first stint with us. And yes 9.1% win ratio with Chelsea: 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 indeed

Robins previous two clubs win % in 2017: 43.4% and 31.5% Lampard: 27.3% and 9.1%

More it’s not some groundbreaking achievement.

If you’re hiring based on the next few games you’re hiring the wrong person anyway. Any foreign manager will likely be there because their record has highlighted them, the closer to this league you go the more it’s who you know what you know. I’d rather a manager, any manager, who is hired...

He’s not the manager yet FFS. Getting really sick of people popping on and throwing insults around on here for the crime of not being a fan of a prospective managerial candidate. I’ve gone through my reasons, Frostie has posted stats, others have given reasons of Derby fans. Yet clowns like you...

Who is 2024 is using bulb fairy lights?

Maybe that’s the way. Like teaching, don’t smile until Christmas, set tough expectations. Always been my issue 😔

Well that too. But having done that it would be nice to know the people left at the club aren’t the sort to get hypnotised by Frank Lampard.

The shortlist for me on a general level is: reasonably promising Champ manager (Eustace - probably the weakest for his category but not much out there), up and coming lower league manager (Bloomfield), unknown foreign manager, and big name friend of the family who has failed repeatedly before...

My worry is we haven’t got a massive transfer kitty and by all accounts he wants his own players in.

I’d rather we just didn’t hire him.

BTW the transfer ban was only for his first summer. This is what he bought before he got sacked:

So you think without Hazard they had what? A mid table squad?

Ah Derby. Chelsea I’ve not paid too much attention to. He got a top three club a top four finish. It’s meh and he was working under very specific circumstances which wouldn’t apply here (transfer embargo and a stockpile of the world’s greatest youth talent). Derby everything I’ve seen says he...

Yes they all got a chance (though not a key part of the squad as I showed earlier), because the club was under a transfer embargo. But that’s the extent of a first team managers influence on a young player unless there’s evidence of a shift in their potential while working under him. These were...

Who’s success which year?

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