Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
This is a very big job for a first time manager and not sure how I'd feel if we got someone like this if we needed a new manager.
A huge name in football sure, but in management terms a total unknown quantity.

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
Football must be the only industry where pivotal appointments are made and the incumbent has no previous experience whatsoever of the role. I know you've all got to start somewhere but a grounding in coaching or managing a youth or U23 team would surely be the sensible route to first team management. Lampard was a great player but that doesn't mean he'll immediately make the transition to management. At the very least he will need an experienced assistant. I wish him well but fear it will all end in tears. It usually does at Derby anyway!

Won't last the length of appointment and won't get them promotion. It will get them a bit of publicity.

Great start for him if he takes it. There has to be some young Managers that make the grade and I just have a feeling Lamps could be one of them. Could be a good time to be a Derby fan.

They don't seem to know what they want, no consistency with the appointments.
Who knows how this will turn out but as someone said, it could be another Chris Waddle. Surely they needed someone with some experience.

Not anymore.
Are Derby a stable, well run club?
Not even close.
Are Derby a gift that just keeps giving?
Yes, the annual bottle job.
Are Derby in need of some major work to their squad after over paying in wages for years?
Yes.
Are Derby bigger than someone like Boro?
Not really, unless you're basing it on their history.

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
I don't necessarily think its too big a job for a first time appointment; he's got to start somewhere and an upwardly mobile second tier club who have been outside the top flight for more than a decade isn't a completely unreasonable starting point. I don't particularly follow the argument he ought to drop down to League 1 or below - he's never really played at that level, and so I wouldn't expect him to immediately have the tools to get the best out of players at that level.
I'm not sure the Chris Waddle comparison particularly works; with hindsight, nothing in Waddle's career marked him out as a potential manager of men - he'd not been a captain, nor an organiser, nor a particularly obvious tactical brain on the pitch. He was just a good player, whereas Lampard has always had a reputation for being a potential management material.
My worry for him, a bit like Gerrard, is that its all come a bit quick. The best young managers tend to spend a good couple of years coaching first before diving straight into management (see Sean Dyche). Lampard's spend a few months doing relatively ad hoc coaching at Chelsea in the junior teams.

Yes he has the same amount of managerial experience. Lampard probably wasn't arrogant at the interview though.wilks_bfc wrote:Wonder what Sol thinks about this

Apart from anything else, Waddle was known for being shy, retiring and a bit of a loner. How many football managers have had that sort of personality?

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
Sam Allardyce is available, he brings a wealth of experience of stabilising clubs , winning promotion and keeping them in The Premier League. He is a manager with loads of contacts, coaches and networks... It might not be pretty football, but he's available right NOW! He is the man to give you the best chance of getting Derby County back into the Premier League.
Nah, Frank Lampard is more fashionable.

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
The cuts to the playing budget are likely to rule out Allardyce.
Sense this is another club where the fans expectations of who they should be getting don't really match the reality. Moyes would be an excellent fit, especially if they are looking for some sort of continuity as he's an upgrade on Rowett with a similar, but better practiced approach.
Ipswich on the verge of appointing Hurst from Shrewsbury apparently - that looks like a better way to go.
Can easily see Lampard being appointed. Initial thoughts are that it won't go well, for all the reasons stated above, but as has been pointed out he's got an awful lot more going for him than Waddle and others who've taken their first steps under similar circumstances.

As always, there are exceptions to prove the rule, but overall the list of great/talented/skillful and particularly 'gifted' players who go on to become top/succesful Managers is relatively short, far more 'great' Managers were only ever very average/journeyman players and predominantly defenders too. I suspect that in part the problem's is in coaching: A journeyman/grafter who perhaps achieved more than his natural talent deserved kows how/what he did to achieve that success, whereas gifted footballers, indeed most sportsmen/women don't really know what/how they do what they do, they just can. Who's going to last longest, Lampard or Gerrard up in Glasgow?

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
Lampard was a very good player but not purely because of talent. But because he was a very hard worker and maximised what he had.
He is also very intelligent. A hard worker as a player, with discipline and respect. A good communicator. A big name in the game and will no doubt have contacts. He has a number of reasons why he can be a success.
No reason he cant be a success.
Fair play to him for starting there.
You cant win at times. People on here slate sol campbell for not cutting his teeth. But at the same time slate lampard and gerrard.
At a time when young English coaches are few and far between. And the older ones are slated at any given opportunity I hope both Lampard and Gerrard make a success of it.
Zidane didnt start at the bottom. And hes become the most succesful champions league manager ever in his first job.
Good luck to lampard and gerrard.

Used too have to cut your teeth coaching reserves/under 23's or start at a lower level like Harry Kewell has at Crawley and Kevin Nolan at Notts County.

They were a bit unlucky that Rowett jumped ship to be fair. Good manager.
Now it seems they are going random again, Lampard has nothing on his CV to suggest he would do it. Dyche had an unlucky sacking at Watford, plus was taking over a side with lower expectations, even though we had been up 4 years earlier.

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
I do think this is a big job for a first timer.
However, I also have a feeling Lampard could be the one from that generation of England players who makes it as a good manager.
As for the Chris Waddle thing, it did cross my mind reading the OP, although then remembered we were a 3rd division team, not a Championship team that do well then bottle it.

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
I wonder how that affected the bookie's odds on promotion for Derby? I'm not sure what they prior to this announcement but The Rams are 9th favourites now at 6/1 with my bookie (behind, in order, Stoke, WBA, Swansea, Boro, Villa, Brentford, Blades & the mighty Leeds).
I guess things will change anyway as players come and go before 2018/19 but I'd've thought Derby become longer odds in the short term with such an inexperienced manager.
Can't wait for Sol to comment.

Re: Lampard in talks to be Derby's manager
I wouldn't expect Derby to be among the favourites given they've already said there will have to be some cost cutting, but it is a similar story with the statement at Villa yesterday. They too are cutting costs because they've overspent so much in the two seasons in the Championship they are going to have to cut their wage bill to come into line with FFP. That's the reason Terry has gone.
