All this shows is that a load of people have backed Lampard, not that the bookies really know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 14 minutes ago, Harry said: Please refer to my post last night on page 10. Derby did have a decent team. But they lost their strike force (Vydra, Jerome, Weimann), a stalwart midfielder (Ledley) and a reliable full back (Baird). It wasn’t a straight forward matter that they’d finish in the same position the next year. You also put a lot of impetus on the Mount & Tomori signings. They were 19 and were new to this level of football. Good players, yes. But still virgins at this level. I assume that us having Scott & Semenyo last year means we should have made the playoffs, because clearly 2 premier league players should make all the difference? Anyway, it’s not gonna be Lampard. I know someone who has applied for the job who has worked here before. And I think it might be him. Lee Johnson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we bigger than Frank, no, more people will know Frank Lampard than Bristol City, that's a fair statement. However, take Lampards achievements and statistics as a manager, then apply a generic name that noone knows, then put that CV on the table and see if he gets a second look... NP came here with 8 years of failure on his cv. Lampard was trusted with Chelsea in the last 24 months. Lampard could come in and fail. Just like Eustace, Rowett or Jones. Who cares if they call us FL BCFC. Better to be known as that than 17th again BCFC. Club needs change. Think we all know from the top but until then it is swapping managers and hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go around any office and you will find many people far sharper than Frank. He seems like a nice bloke but he is not exactly a PhD brainbox. Just for balance, he has an OBE, has written his autobiography and written several childrens novels. Left school with 11 GCSEs including an A in Latin. Regards, Frank. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shauntaylor85 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 It’s not Lampard and it’s not going to be Williams albeit understand was a candidate. I’m thinking now its between a Beale or Manning. It’s going to be someone who aligns to what the club wants to do so no chance of a Smith, Rowett, Lampard. Smith is the one I would go for as believe he has a the pedigree of a Nige, but let’s be honest it’s a pretty average pool. Nobody is inspiring and there is no chance on earth this club gets to the PL any time soon I am sorry to say. Just cannot see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a valid point.....but that was the opening market based on conjecture, this is nearly a week after, and becoming based on the weight of money, which obviously will not be huge. I often follow the money on Betfair with success, but those are larger markets? I am not convinced it is FL, but i am not dismissing it?

UncleRed Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 @Spike You’ve typed all that most of it is going on about cutting the wage and our financial situation….HOW MANY MORE TIMES! Whoever was in charge had to take a squad with minimal investment, whilst THE BOARD sorted out the finance and everything else. Whoever was the manager might of done better, or could have done worse. But surely you could see the club needed a change and for me the board clearly wasn’t happy with Pearson, personally and probably for his style of football Anyone with common sense could see that other than Joe James, the other 10 players were first team players against Cardiff. So yes we could of got something against them, they weren’t exactly brilliant. Some people got to accept that the championship Fergie is gone now, and look to the future.

jbcfc Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 personally think that this would be a great opportunity for him. lower expectations than his previous jobs - if he gets us in the top half it would be our best finish in a while. people speak of his ‘super team’ at derby - it wasn’t really, it was just a selection of decent loans. the main question will be whether the money from alex scott was being held back from nige and will be given to the new gaffer. pearson had pull, but lampard will have even more. players will want to play for him. up to the board if they want to give him the funds. it could all go terribly wrong, but **** it. frank lampard at the gate, who would’ve ever thought that, eh? let’s just enjoy what we can. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank would supply plenty of that, if not a winning team. I am not a Frank fan boy, nor any of the others. Nige was the first one I really wanted in, but even then because I doubted Steve had the backbone to cope I didn't think that would happen. Took time , but still. My thoughts are... Cotterill underwhelmed = Brilliant Coppel excited = did a runner Jordan (2nd coming) excited = damp squib LJ Underwhelmed = rollercoaster GJ Underwhelmed = exciting My point being, you never know what you will get. With the owners, the (invisible & pointless) Board and Manager it will take a massively bit of luck to get them all working together. Ward - gas - promotion!
