He's got the job, going to announce it Monday, Shakespeare going with him as well. Hope they can keep them up, he deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyDirk Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I think in this case Lampard was the kid at school who fancied a girl, asked her out and she said she'd think about it.... Then saw her with Deano and said "Well, I didn't fancy her anyway..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how i see it too He didn't interview well or wasn't given what he wanted bu Norwich so wasn't getting the job, pulled out to save face But it's still an interview process like any other job, the man interviewed first isn't automatically first choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Interested to see if ROK joins him, which would point to some meddling behind scenes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 It would be ironic if he keeps Norwich up and we get relegated. It wont happen but what a disaster if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be so sure it won't happen?? I'm genuinely worried we'll plummet like a stone... I hope I'm way off the mark! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Why is everyone pretending that Lampard is some absolute shit show of a manager. He's had 2 jobs and done 2 decentish jobs in circumstances that were not ideal? Is it because he's one of the golden generation? Tommy T went and done an unbelievable job and won the CL after him? He took over a club with a transfer ban. Promoted a load of youth got CL football then first sign of trouble was sacked. A lot of people on here trying to make out he was an absolute disaster.

I think they can do it with the new manager bounce and all that. We play them 6 games into Gerrards rein . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catanzaro Posted November 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2021 Great choice by Norwich.. I think that Dean will recruit well for them if he gets a chance in Jan, there’s an outside chance he may keep them up.. in my opinion.. and personally I hope he does 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Great appointment from Norwich in my opinion. It's a shame the Villa players went against him because I honestly think it would have been better option than going with Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hause would shore up the back line, probably Trezeguet on loan could do a job for them maybe Sanson and Guilbert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
