Sky in Italy reporting that Chelsea will replace Sarri with Lampard at the end of the season, they tend to be pretty reliable , let’s hope on this occasion they’re wrong. Meanwhile sky sports here in England a reporting that Chelsea are keen to get their golden generation, including Lampard back to their club at the end of the season ,with their transfer ban. Cech has already been appointed their Director of football. Typical that this has to come just before our play off final, sky think that the ‘top 6’ premier league clubs are the only ones that exist and it doesn’t matter the consequences of what happens to ‘lesser’ clubs.

In the money-oriented obsession that football has become, they're right.

Which is a shame really, you know better than me, but there’s an argument to suggest that English football was better before the premier league came around as it was more competitive. Sure you have the odd fairytale story like Leicester but that was an anomaly.

It depends what you mean by 'better', of course. It was certainly a more level playing-field, but the game now is infinitely more skilful, and played at a generally much faster pace by players who are in general bigger, fitter and stronger.

Better in terms of more competitive, but now you’re right in saying players individually are better because of the development of tactics, nutrition, sports science etc. You just had to see the Fa cup final as an example between Man City v Watford. These sides are in the same league but it looked like Man City were playing a team from league two. The gap will only widen because of the money.

Taken from Di marzio’s article, who appears pretty reliable,

https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/inzaghi-news-allenatore-lazio-juventus

Chelsea ha già deciso di cambiare, prenderà Lampard- Translates to “Chelsea has already decided to change, will take Lampard”

Have you read the full article, it’s available in English.

“As Juventus search for a new manager, their eyes are set on two favorites for the position. The first being Simeone Inzaghi. In fact, Paratici met with the Lazio manager last week in Piacenza, a discrete meeting far away from anyone's eyes. A sign that Inzaghi is a favorite for the position. The Juve director asked for his availability, to which Inzaghi has said yes as coaching the bianconeri is a unique opportunity.A decision is anticipated. Inzaghi is under contract until 2020 and all parties need to reach an agreement before anything can happen. 

The other favorite for the position is Maurizio Sarri. The Chelsea manager is under contract until 2021, but the club have already decided to change coaches and hire Lampard. Claudio Lotito, meanwhile, is stubborn and will be harder to convince.”

This article was from 2 days ago which names Inzaghi as the favourite for the Juventus job having already met him, now he also claims that Sarri is another option with the club already decided to replace with Lampard.

We heard last night that Chelsea have no desire to change their manager and no approach has been made from Chelsea for Lampard.

Lampard’s name is huge over here, it’s no surprise to see these Twitter accounts pull out the juicy bits and ignore the Inzaghi favourite line as that would hold no interest in England, barely worthy of a click. 

Both clubs have big finals up, I very much doubt either manager has or would be talking with other clubs over jobs, we can all guess like the journalists but they don’t know if he would take it if offered.

Speculation at its finest, based on assumption Sarri gets a job in Italy, Lampard replaces him because he’s ex Chelsea and doing a great job, a story that has been written for months now that even my missus would be able to come up with despite being dismissed by Lampard himself.

The other job in Italy is Inter which Conte is said to be favourite, so if Inter appoint Conte, Juventus appoint Inzaghi, are they then going to push the Sarri to Lazio line in a final attempt to push this Lampard to join the golden generation reunion at Chelsea story?

But Sarri has also been linked with Roma all season and if you see Sarri’s body language, he’s probably resigned to going himself, he seems to love it England but he’s left in a difficult position. I’d be majorly shocked if he stayed at Chelsea.  Once you lose the fans support, it’s very hard to stay, Chelsea fans for example booed Sarri in the Cardiff game and calling for him to go. Chelsea may have desire for him to stay, but Sarri may not want to stay. There seems to be conflicting reports on Chelsea, on one hand they say they have no desire to change their manager, but on the other hand they say they will make a decision after the Europa league final. If they had no desire to change then why would the Europa league result matter? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/05/15/chelsea-decide-maurizio-sarris-future-aftereuropa-league-final/amp/

As Jourdan rightly states above Sarri would be less likely to go to Juve because of his relationship with Napoli so he’d be more likely to move to Roma than them. And I don’t know a lot about Di marzio, but he seems a pretty big deal and sky in England get many stories from him. So if he says that Chelsea want Lampard, I’d say there would be something in it, put it this way, I’d trust him instead of rob Dorset with all due respect to him. Di marzio appears to have major contacts at massive clubs around the world. There’s no smoke without fire. Even if it’s completely wrong, sky sports are running with one of their main headlines today that Chelsea want to bring their golden generation back to the club , with Cech being the first and Terry and Lampard as well , which is bound to be unsettling. I’ve seen people say on this thread to stop talking about it, but what difference will it make if the biggest sports channel are mentioning it as one of their main headlines that Chelsea want him .

Now the press conference is gonna have multiple questions about this, Frank's gonna say "I'm focused on this job". The rattled fans are gonna say, "That answer wasn't enough, I'm worried he's been distracted.". Then we'll lose and the rattled fans will blame this.

When in truth, none of it had any bearing on anything.

Someone’s telling porkies because sky sports’ lead headline this morning was Cech returning to Chelsea as DoF and that Chelsea are keen to get their golden generation back, with John terry and Lampard next ?

The club have made little secret of their desire to welcome back the 'golden generation' which included the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard and Cech.

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11725744/chelsea-to-appoint-petr-cech-as-sporting-director-when-he-retires-in-the-summer

The wording, including the likes of...

Also

SSN understands the Blues are not planning on changing their head coach but are looking at contingencies should Sarri decide to leave.

Frank Lampard is the strong favourite with bookmakers to replace Sarri, if he departs, although Derby are not believed to have received an approach from Chelsea for their manager.

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11861/11725749/chelsea-boss-maurizio-sarri-a-target-for-juventus-and-roma

It’s speculation, pure and simple and Sky are picking their words carefully using bookies odds and likes of without committing themselves to the story.

Anyone noticing a Sky camera pointing at them on Monday, please mouth "Sky you are poo" very loudly..

Talking of odds, the best odds you can get for Sarri now are

Juventus 4/1 and Roma 6/1 and Inter 20/1 at Paddy Power 

Juventus 7/2 at Skybet

Sarri even favourite anywhere with the bookies for any of the 3 jobs, yet somehow Lampard is the favourite for the Chelsea job, a position that without his departure doesn’t even exist.

Go figure.

Tbf I was referring to the broadcast channel sky sports news, not the actual website. Think it was the presenter Mike Wedderburn who mentioned it this morning? First Cech, John Terry and Frank Lampard next, with Chelsea aiming to get their golden generation back together for next season. That’s what brought my attention back to this thread to see if there was any updates or any on social media which is what brought my attention to Di marzio, might have been mike having a bit of fun to stir the pot as he’s been known to do in the past.
