It can be arranged ?

I think that depends on the relationship that Frank and Mel have. Mel publicly said that if Chelsea come calling he wouldn’t stand in his way, he’d wish him well. If there’s been good communication between the two of them Mel could quite easily give him a backtrack option. If Frank goes we get the compensation, and if it’s been done amicably it could easily harbour good mutual relations. If he goes and thinks “not right now” we keep a great manager. 

Probably be a first in pro football if it happens like that.

I agree, but taking a chance on another clubs legend, taking us to Wembley in his first season, an established premier league team deciding they might want to go for their legend of 13 years after getting a championship team to 6th in the league...I think that might be a first as well ?

Is Abramovich a quite brilliant businessman?

Is he a corrupt and ruthless sociopath who has people killed?

Is he a dumb fool who acts a front for some evil types who are growing tired of him?

He is an mostly incompetent but very lucky guy?

Lampard might know the truth and he'd rather work for a local boy done good.

I don’t know, but I’d go and see this at the cinema ?

The only way Frank will not leave to take the job is if it’s not offered to him ...let’s be realistic here if they want him he’ll go...

I don’t want Frank to go because he’s raised our profile and our football is much better but in some ways if he does go at least we won’t have to go through all of this “will he won’t he!?” speculation (not just now but every time Chelsea are without a manager or are going through a bad patch ) and can get on with our plans and hopefully find someone who will want to build something here ...I don’t give a toss about Chelsea but at this moment all we’re really doing is waiting for them to clarify our  managers future and I want it to be about us not them...if it’s going to happen get on with it FFS 

[GlastoEls]

Agreed - I really want Frank to stay but getting really sick of the media speculation.

[deanoakaram4life]

Sunday Times reporting that he's agreed to become Chelsea's new boss after receiving assurances from Abramovic.

We’ve offered him a contract, all down to him now. If he stays then something special is happening. If he goes then bring on the next conductor of the bounce ?⚽️?⚽️?⚽️?⚽️

Jokanovic is the only contender IMO

Tapping him up

Definitely the outstanding candidate out there!

[BuckoBeast]

Don’t want Frank to go. But if we can get Jokanovic it could be a blessing

Maybe he’s our new manager!

If this is true, it's definitely a case of tapping up our manager and could see Mel start a legal case against Roman. I would be all for that as well. I've hated the way we've been made to feel. Throughout this entire saga and since the second Lampard joined, I felt like he was on-loan from Chelsea and the second they want him they could just re-call him and he's on his way to Stamford Bridge. 

[Rambam]

Roman no longer goes to matches, and has shelved his plans for a new stadium. Why’s he bothered? 

Yep, that’s tapping up. But rules don’t apply to oligarchs do they?

Taking legal action could potentially double our compensation figure so well worth proceeding. Really feel sorry for Mel in this situation.

As others have said it’s tapping up our manager, I can’t see it personally as Chelsea are in enough trouble as it is. If the report is true however, well that’s a different issue altogether.Its a ?? move but think of all that  ? ? ? ? ??????????

[DazaDunn]

These kind of stories are interesting. This journalist/publication is now publicly accusing Roman of breaking the rules, so Roman could pursue legal action against the journalist or the publication. If I was Mel, I'd be asking questions.
