Lampard and the Chelsea job

[LazloW]

There’s so much noise about this (just heard TalkSport banging on about it again) that if/when Sarri leaves I almost think that the media will persuade Chelsea into a decision they wouldn’t normally make (I.e. giving the job to a rookie manager with a season’s experience where he essentially kept us at the same level).  There is no rational footballing reason why Chelsea should go for Frank Lampard.  The reasons are only sentimental at the moment. There are many candidates better than him (including the managers who got teams promoted if they wanted to fish in this pond). But if you keep hearing the same answer from  everybody who is asked, they might just start to believe the hype.  

It would be a shame if he left in these circumstances - both for him as I don’t think he is ready and most people answering the questions don’t really know what type of job he has done because they know nothing of the club - and for us because there has been a nice atmosphere around the club with him and Jody here and it would be good for it to continue.  From a footy perspective, I’d also like to see somebody hang around and build a team.

The logical and rational thing for all parties is for Frank to stay and learn his trade and for Chelsea to benefit when he knows the job better than he does now... but when was football ever logical or rational.

I don't know if this has been done before but our managers on opening day for the last few seasons have been ...

Clough 2009 - 2012/13

Clough 2013/14

McClaren 2014/15

Clement 2015/16

Pearson 2016/17

Rowett 2017/18

Lampard 2018/19

????  2019/20

 

We haven't started 2 consecutive seasons with the same manager since Clough in 2013.

Frank's going isn't he ?

It has been but its valid,  i hope frank stays because in my opinion you need stability.

Our best team was built from stability under Clough.

I thought it was a pre requisite to post in this thread that you had to jump to conclusions or be adept to knee jerk reactions.

I'll bet you £100 that he is still here when the season kicks off. 

I like your confidence mate.

I’ll take that as a euphemism for ‘I don’t know this as a fact’ then. ?

If London loving Christine has anything to do with it Frankie will be off if they offer it.  All their families are down there, London is their home not beautiful Derbyshire. We are a stepping stone. I wish him luck but we needed a manager to give us stability for a few years. It's been a great season but so disappointing if Frank goes.

I'm bored of this (but can't stop checking), wake me up whensomeone is appointed at Chelsea.

[Richard246]

It's the biggest not secret in football Chelsea waiting for agreement on compensation for sarri and then will negotiate compensation for Lampard.

So what will you do when you are wrong Mr Exclamation Mark?

[ossieram]

Just wondering what the average age is of people posting in this thread, surely they're not all adults?

Is this "Midlands Reporter" or Richie you're talking about? They won't both be right that's for sure!

They could both be wrong for all we know. Frank could be on his way to Eastwood Town to fulfil a lifelong ambition.

To be fair i have as much information on that happening as the other two have.
