Fat Frank Manager of Derby

[The Nomad]

Where did that come from? That was very leftfield.

 

[Oncy]

I loved Leftfield back in the day.

[Oncy]

The first thought when I read Leftfield yup.

 

[Oncy]

And Guiness

Indeed...

Leftism still a superb album 20 odd years later and it occasionally gets played in my gaffe, just now whenever I listen to it now I have no chemical condiments.

Do you not mean sauces?

Silly gamble by Derby and fat Frank. Derby have admitted that after failing in this years playoffs, they'll not have any money to spend this year really. So Frank is going to inherit a bang average squad, with no money, in a very difficult league where there's plenty of better teams next season. Derby overachieved this year to make the playoffs really.

 

[MomoWASright]

I hope they go down.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Will be interesting to see what he can do with no funds

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I hope he does well - he comes off as a class lad, even though he's played for the chavs and citeh.

He broke our Xabi’s foot!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Yah I remember ... I can only focus my hatred on Ramos now.

 

[Woland]

Isn't he used to living in the richest parts of the country since he was a kid? Derby? He'll feel like he's gone on holiday to srebenica.

 

[Insignificance]

I hope they go down.

Are they up?

He turned down Ipswich yet agreed to manage Derby. I would've thought the opposite would have suited him better.

 

[Oliver Twist]

Good luck to him. Comes across as a decent bloke.

Could be anything. Wages, transfer budget, didn't get on with the owner, length of contract, has gone off blue

Maybe his mother watched him play a derby once, and this is a sign from above….

He'll live in Nottingham

 

[MomoWASright]

He’ll be the second richest there after our very own @Ijg

 

[keniget]

Can’t be worse than the Rangers gig.

Ipswich is fucking bleak and irrespective of the purse strings being tightened at Derby , they have a better chance at promotion and he wouldn't have to live /commute into Ipswich


Besides, I was under the impression they decided against him rather than him , them?

 

[tombrown]

Is he moving his mum's ashes to Pride Park?

 

[Hansern]

It sounds like it will be a very short managerial stint at Derby....

No, he dropped out. But while I've no great interest in either club, I get the impression that Ipswich is a much nicer club, with a much more patient board, as well as fans. As for commuting, they're both shitholes, but isn't Ipswich quicker to London than Derby by about an hour? His missus works in London, which will probably be a factor. And the Derby owner has basically said he's not interested in spending this summer because of FFP. It's probably a negligible difference but I would have thought he'd get more time at Ipswich. It's the club that encouraged Ramsey and Robson.

I quite like Frank. I know I'm not meant to, but there it is.

Nowt wrong with that. Arguably one of the best attacking midfielders in premier league history, and seems an intelligent likeable bloke

 

[Woland]

He's a fucking cunt you pair of emo wankbags

 

[JonesyRed]

I kinda of hope he does well, but this is left field, high profile enough that he fucks it up, he might not get another chance, but not enough backing to push them forward. He has to be a great coach to make this work, and not sure I ever saw that in him.
