Lampard in discussion with Rams over new contract.....

[Rich2462]

Sounds positive and hopefully means he will be staying..... should he leave maybe a bigger payout to the Rams?

Which, my dear mista is why he's staying and he and the club should issue a joint statement to that effect.

But...according to Sky, he has said that he’d find it ‘impossible’ to resist the Chelsea job should it be offered.

Tbh I couldn’t care less who is manager of Newcastle...or Chelsea.
I’m only concerned about next season at Derby...another thir**** days you reckon, that’s just about manageable, but much longer, i.e. beyond the end of June, and I think we run the risk of harming our chances.
This time last year Lampard was in position and there was a row over his TV commitments getting in the way of Derby’s planning. I didn’t agree then with those who said that he was putting Derby second to his own career, but I do think this needs resolving in the next fortnight at the latest.
