I’d love for them to manage here one day but I’d much rather them get their experience and make their mistakes elsewhere, because if they failed here then that’d be a huge and unnecessary blow to them, the club and the fans.

People slagging off Sarri for where we are right now whilst also calling for Lampard to be given the job here, seem to be ignoring the fact that as impressive as Frank comes across in interviews and as entertaining his side seem to play, Derby are lower in the Championship than we are in the PL, despite everything being put in place for him to succeed there by his board, certainly much more so than what our club does for managers/head coaches.

Ironically, comparisons are being made with Dean Smith at Villa to Sarri here as his philosophy football which worked so well elsewhere, hasn’t taken off there yet and he’s already getting stick from their support, so JT’s first steps into the coaching side of the game aren’t exactly going well.

I suppose Solskjaer’s the one people are looking at and wondering if Frank/Morris/JT can have that effect here, but Utd have got Mike Phelan back and I think he's the probably the main reason why Utd are doing so well and his role in their resurgence has been overlooked really.

I’d hate for Lampard and co. to be brought in as a short term fix for longer term problems, that wouldn’t be fair on them or us.
