You hope right as I do. 

I’m indifferent really. Lampard did a decent job but I wouldn’t begrudge him leaving, and I believe there are better managers out there, as well as many worse of course.

It’s not about that though it’s the fact a new Manager has to start again from scratch. Lampard would be continuity .

Not if you appoint the right one with a similar style. Lampard staying would be ideal, but if we get it right, replacing him wouldn’t always kill us off.

It originally said "have met with" - they've updated it in the last few minutes. Very dodgy. 

It didn’t as I thought at the time that it contradicted  what the original poster said

Not always, Curtains. McClaren didn't really start from scratch. He took the good work Clough had done over many years and just tweaked the playing style. That's the sign of a good manager. An ability to adapt and evolve something identifiably good in a squad.

Bad managers are often the ones who try to turf everything up and uproot all the work done previously. See: Pearson.

Obviously, this doesn't always apply. I'm just trying to suggest that Lampard going doesn't necessarily have to mean completely starting again. A manager like Jokanovic, for example, wouldn't need to change too much to get us playing his way. All the building blocks are already there.

In the tweet "Have met"

In the articles now updated headline "To meet"

In the intro to the article "Want to meet"

 

It's all over the place.

Besides as Owen Bradley says on twitter, surely you need a clubs permission to speak to a manager, and that would be public information.

It did, it absolutely said 'have met'

Just seen an article about Vieira in the frame now. People are losing their minds.

 

Let's just wait and see what happens.

I’ve heard I’m in the running for next Chelsea manager. I’m turning it down though as I won’t be able to eat my prawn sandwiches in the West stand at the same time.

Ok thanks but when I clicked the link posted it was showing to meet so maybe it was a mistake. 

 I Still hope Frank says at Derby.

An actual formal meeting between Chelsea and Lampard would not be easily kept secret from journalists, and would be everywhere. Not just on Goal.

Hasn't happened.

Exactly this ^^^

Yet another nothing story designed for clicks, by a crappy website, to keep the ad revenue up, and pay their rent for the next couple of weeks.  Until it's in a reputable newspaper with full HD photos, it ain't true...

Seriously, everyone needs to calm down.  He's said he's committed to the club, he's been spotted scouting players, Morris is still tweeting stuff relating to the players.  CHILL THE **** OUT!!!

I'm sorry, unless you are seeing signing a contract extension and kissing the Derby badge I will expect you to leave.

Deep state set to meet Frank Lampard for talks about becoming Prime Minister.

"he's substantially less poop than any of the others" said a sinister unnamed source smoking in a car park in the middle of the night.

Far better managers have come and gone. I’d just like it over with ASAP one way or the other.

Dont know where Lampard is, but according to Instagram Jody is sunning himself by the pool.

Judging by the weather, he isnt in Derby or London!

How far will this thread go, will it be a George Thorne like one? Still got a couple of months yet

Chelseas tweet from 10 minutes ago doesn't fill me with confidence..I nice archive goal from none other than Frank Lampard, followed by lots of Chelsea fans tweeting "announce him already".
