Updated: “ Frank Lampard Appointed “

Frank Lampard has just been made manager of Derby County on 3 year contract.




LAMPARD APPOINTED DERBY MANAGER

Frank Lampard has been confirmed as Derby County's new manager, signing a three-year deal with the Championship club.

Derby had been searching for a new manager following the departure of Gary Rowett to Championship rivals Stoke last week and have opted for the 39-year-old in what is his first managerial role.

Jody Morris, who has led Chelsea's U18s to the FA Youth Cup in successive seasons, is expected to join Lampard as part of his coaching staff at Pride Park.

The former Chelsea, West Ham and England midfielder was interviewed twice by Ipswich earlier this summer, but the Tractor Boys opted to appoint Paul Hurst as their new manager.

Talk yesterday was Jody Morris from Chelsea, was going to be his assistant, but I would have thought Terry would go into Management somewhere?

Frank, just a little bit of advice. You've got a world class player on your hands in this Craig Bryson. He could easily be the next Messi. If I were you I'd hold on to him and build your Derby team around him. At the very least if any club try to buy him off you I'd put a minimum price on him of £50 million. Oh and one other thing, I'd get the club to invest in a couple of snow ploughs

I wonder if there's an article around somewhere with Lampard slating Derby over the snow

Hi Frank, a bit of a heads up for you, we have a cracking Midfielder called Aron Gunnarsson who is out of contract and available on a free as he refused the contract offered, I think he would be a perfect fit for Derby County as he’s from ICEland and we know how much the rams love the snow and ice. Oh and by the way, we’ll have Craig Bryson here so that’s a fair deal I think, actually you’re getting the better deal

I have always liked Lampard, comes across as a decent bloke, hope it works out for him and its good to see young British managers getting a chance.

Agree, always preferred Lampard over that scouse tw*t Gerrard.

Good Luck Frank Lampard a true legend in the football game and hopefully will be a great chance for the Chelsea legend to get promotion to the Premier League

I think the main reason that Terry left Villa is because they couldn't continue paying him £60,000 a week so undoubtedly he'll be looking to whichever team he goes to for a similar amount.

Derby are not in quite as bad a position as Villa but it would be suicidal on their part to pay anything like that for a player who it has already been shown is far from a guarantee of promotion for your team.

I also think Bryson will now stay to play under Lampard and I would have no problem with that - we need better than him in my opinion.

Lampard - "What are you smiling for John?"

Terry - "I'm holding a list of all the player's wives I've shagged and your missus is number 47"

Me too.
I reckon with Jody Morris as his no.2 they’ll tap into some of the Chelsea youngsters either to buy or loan. Could work well for them I think.

Hope Rangers bomb with Gerrard though
