@Saddlebrains can you clarify who put out certain information around matters around mourning, player's putting letters in etc?
I think the suggestion was it was more than one,Sheaf specifically was mentioned on here, what I'm asking really is from whose perspective did it come,and is it absolutely the truth,no mention of any trauma in their from King?
I'm not advocating him. It's just surprising that he isn't on the imaginary listOn the basis he has done even less in his managerial career than Lampard
Is it not normal to play your attacking midfield marquee summer signing at left back?The tactical changes didn’t bother me, it’s the players being randomly shoehorned into alien positions that concerned me
Has Lampard actually been credibly linked by anyone on here as being a frontrunner for the job or is it just the press have some kind of hard on for him and that because he formally applied we can't possibly turn him down?
lets be clear DK said FL has put a CV in nothing more - along with a host of others hopefully including Van Nistelroy
This cracked me upIs it not normal to play your attacking midfield marquee summer signing at left back?
Wow McCallum was only 13 then, must have developed early!Remember the situation with Ryan Giles when we had him on loan from Wolves. His loan was cancelled because McCallum was playing every game. We had a guy from Middlesborough 9/10 years ago too and they cancelled his loan for the same reason.
That's a myth.Because it's a completely different skillset.
Look at some of the great players in recent times which attempted at becoming managers and were/are awful:
Paul Scholes
Gary Neville
Wayne Rooney
Sol Campbell
Alan Shearer
Paul Ince
Michael Laudrup
Steven Gerrard (much of his success at Rangers was down to Michael Beale)
There's a belief that their success on the field will automatically carry over off the field and the vast majority land on their face after a matter of months never to be seen in the managerial box again. It just doesn't work like that.
This guy seriously complaining that he “only” got to a playoff final?Derby fan view of Lampard
Really am fearful is he is the new MessiahDerby fan view of Lampard
This guy seriously complaining that he “only” got to a playoff final?
And blaming him for reckless spending and administration?
What a clown
In fairness we played wingers and rudoni has played wide before ? Asking him to do defensive duties isn't that wildIs it not normal to play your attacking midfield marquee summer signing at left back?
I've got no idea who would be a good manager for us but I'm unimpressed with Lampard being named as an applicant, unless he gave specific permission for that. It's unprofessional of King/the club and would be humiliating for Lampard if he doesn't get the job.
And how’s that his fault exactly?Derby went into free fall as soon as he left them
And how’s that his fault exactly?
Not the managers job to balance the books.
Agreed, that's probably the case. Still unprofessional in my opinion. And what if Pep was suddenly available eh?? ;-)Read between the lines… it’s Lampard who will get the job

Who do you have in mind, ? bearing in mind that Doug will probably not want to fork out shit loads of compensation after having to pay off MR and AV.I really hope it’s not Lampard. We can do so much better.

Don't be silly, he's amazingI really hope it’s not Lampard. We can do so much better.
Such as?Anyone who has shown an ounce of tactical promise.

Got Derby to the play off final against all odds on a shoestring budget, the got Chelsea 4th place with one of the worst squads in premier league history. He over performed at Everton, look at Mike Walker, no one could do a better job. Oh and his his Chelsea caretaker, he had to play the under 13s because the first team were holidaying in Marbella.
It's not the managers job though?It's quite often spoken about that portsmouth demise came after years of overspending under harry redknapp , I can't claim to know the ins and outs of derby's spending habits but it does happen after teams spend big , it also happened to Leeds?
Such as?
It's not the managers job though?
If you wanna criticise Lampard talk about his second season at Chelsea, Everton stint etc.
Blaming him for Derby going into administration after he left is nonsensical
Its all true, someone on twitter claimed he achieved 4th at Chelsea which hasn't been achieved since...Genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm
The forum demise gets ever deeperGenuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm
Its all true, someone on twitter claimed he achieved 4th at Chelsea which hasn't been achieved since...
*Checks notes* oh except Tuchel who finished 4th and 3rd following him.
Every seems to be completely over exaggerating his success, and completely absolving him if his failures. Odd.
