Than pereira? Knows our team, knows our players, knows the league, we as a fan base, actually know about him as a player, and as a manager and have seen his style, have seen his approach, have seen the success with younger players.
So he would present as a safer bet than someone who is a known journeyman, hasn't had a top job since 2013, has already come across as a bit of a wild card with his interview for SSN and that the majority of fans won't have a real understanding about as wont have been watching him since his porto days, which was shortly before he failed to get our job the first time round.
I'm not advocating one above the other in anyway, but that's why I would imagine people would prefer lampard. (And like I said earlier, the majority wouldn't actually have either as first choice).
