We did play them and lost 2-0 , confirmation itself if any was needed.
I’m not saying in pre-season when they were nearly done and we were just getting started. We’d have them now.
Rangers to Villa is a step up, Chelsea to Rangers is a big step down

Well... no lose, but one of the few jobs where second is a dismal failure, and even first can be seen as not good enough, if you're unconvincing with it.Whatever Lampard takes is going to be a big step down to be fair. Rangers is an easy job, all he has to do is beat Celtic every year. It's pretty much no lose.
I suspect he may end up at NorwichI’m not sure why people are saying “EPL to SPL is a step down”, or “EFL to SPL us a step down”, “Chelsea to Rangers is a step down” about Lampard.
He’s out of work. Can’t see that taking the Rangers job is a “step down” for a jobless manager.
That’d be a mistake.I suspect he may end up at Norwich
This is true tbf. Its similar to the 'no way would this out of contract player who used to be on 30k a week, come to us' argument.I’m not sure why people are saying “EPL to SPL is a step down”, or “EFL to SPL us a step down”, “Chelsea to Rangers is a step down” about Lampard.

I'm not sure why - he needs to rebuild his managerial reputation with success at a mediocre club after being unsuccessful at a top 6 club having bailed on Derby (where he wasn't doing THAT well).That’d be a mistake.
Let’s guess what next year looks like:I'm not sure why - he needs to rebuild his managerial reputation with success at a mediocre club after being unsuccessful at a top 6 club having bailed on Derby (where he wasn't doing THAT well).
Surprised Bruce (ex Norwich player, out of work, steady pair of hands, fairly certain to get them re-promoted next season) is not favourite for Norwich Manager.

Let’s guess what next year looks like:
Scenario 1) Lampard to Norwich.
Norwich, Burnley, Watford down. Bournemouth, Fulham, WBA up
Relegation on CV. Must then beat some really strong teams to be promoted again. Not a certainty.
Scenario 2) Lampard to Rangers.
Minimum double attendances. Will be able to import a load of half decent English u19/20/21 loanees who would be glad of development opportunity and he can claim that he’s working with future England players at a later date. Should win league. Zero chance of relegation. Will get European football.
I’m not sure the manager Salary is critical to Lampard. I’m sure he’s got enough wool on his back from his playing days and Rangers are hardly short of gate revenue and shirt sales.
At what? And by who?The Prem is ranked at No1 in the World
The Championship is No11.
The Scottish Prem is No18.
Say no more.
At what? And by who?
Best dressed fans?
European titles?
Away ticket allocation?
Well I mean yeah it’s a total mystery
Lampard at Rangers might work for both parties. Lampard at Norwich (where they will splash the cash more) might not. Bruce IMO a better fit.Bruce is a total antithesis of the kind of manager Norwich would go for.
It’s a funny one. Years ago Henrik Larsson, John Hartson etc. went to Scotland and could easily have been in the Prem. The gulf between has widened somewhat but the draw of 50k crowds, silverware, adulation, European football will appeal to some who could easily play lower Prem or Champ.Would a player choose Norwich or Rangers? Ryan Christie went from Celtic to Bournemouth
Scottish football is way way shitter than it was in the Larsson years.It’s a funny one. Years ago Henrik Larsson, John Hartson etc. went to Scotland and could easily have been in the Prem. The gulf between has widened somewhat but the draw of 50k crowds, silverware, adulation, European football will appeal to some who could easily play lower Prem or Champ.
That said, how many Old Firm current players could hack the Champ now? Morelos? Kent? very few beside I’d wager.
Funny times.
Attendance I assume.
My mate just text saying Gerard only won one trophy out of a potential nine up there. If true it’s not exactly an amazing record given the opposition, at least in the domestic comps.
Chill out not my table.At what? And by who?
Best dressed fans?
European titles?
Away ticket allocation?
