Lampard

Lampard new what he was letting himself in for at Chelsea, he played for them for long enough. If he'd been on £500 a week and lost his job and still had a mortgage and family to support I feel sorry. But he wasn't and he'll still get the pay off, being a so called legend as a player means nothing when it comes to management apart from it probably opens doors that a lesser player making the switch would find locked. Sorry no sympathy from me! He'll be sat at home feeling all sorry for himself, then he'll check his bank account and feel all better again!

Farcical that he walked into the Derby job and again that he got the Chelsea job.  No merit or credentials other than his name.

Only defence of him is that he's never had control of the transfers and I wonder how much pressure he was under to play the new signings ahead of the young lads who did him so well in his first season.

Lampard was always a player I struggled to warm to, no doubting his abilities but always seemed sulky.  As a manager he confirmed this with a lot of his interviews.  One of those who was chirpy when times were good but lashed out under the slightest bit of pressure.

Im getting the idea of deja vu. Who else do we know like that?

True!

In fairness, I think most managers are like that.  In fact most people.

I've just never taken to Lampard.  Something about him.

It also says something about the craze for coaching qualifications. Famous player? Got all your badges? Here’s a job.

Next celeb for the sack, the current Derby manager?

I bet even after all this time since he retired he is still better than everyone in our team. If it gets him out the house, I wonder if he would sign on a Pay per Play, if hes got nowt else on obviously.
