A top division club generally but they have been where Derby are on many occasions . They've been fortunate to have a rich owner who needed a reason to operate in an expensive area of London . Let's not blow smoke up there arse like everyone else. Agreed, with City coming along I think some have forgotten Chelsea are just another money club. They are a big club, no doubt about that, and being a London club are far more fashionable than a club outside the M25. However, from the outside looking in it looks like Abramovich is getting bored with his train set and the investment is beginning to dwindle. Be interesting what the next 10 years holds for them. We just went to toe-to-toe with Villa in the PO final, having just beaten Leeds. Both are those clubs are bigger club than Chelsea IMO. Chelsea wouldn't be out of place in this sort of company when the money dries up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It’s certainly getting a bit wearing for me as well. Proper journalists should only report when there’s actual news, not keep rehashing the same stories and sensationalising things that don’t mean anything. They’ve clearly been just making stuff up to make it seem like what they want to happen (Lampard becoming Chelsea manager) is actually already happening! I’m somewhat expecting it to happen eventually but they’re making it look much further along than it is to drum up interest. Very poor journalism and disrespectful to us, where he is still manager! I can’t see him not going to Chelsea so they’ll be proved right eventually, would be hilarious if he didn’t tho! Egg on faces all round for them then!

rynny Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I find it far more disrespectful when they can't get the simple things right, person's role at the club, ground we play at. I saw a report yesterday saying we played at the iPro Stadium yesterday. Just pure lazy "journalism". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Made me spit my dummy out when it was our big weekend. Us and Villa. It was our two clubs chance to shine. It doesn't come around that often for anyone who thinks an £80m player is expensive. And these football manager bankers are talking about Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GadFly Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 At the end of the day you have to look at yourself and realise that you wouldn't give a toss about this if it was Derby who were being linked with a player/manager... we only care because on this occasion it's our man and our club.

Brammie Steve Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Lampard to manage Chelsea NOW! He is about the same odds as when Cloughie was a cast iron, nailed on, put your house on it, cert for the England job. Ron Greenwood got the job even though not even invited for interview! What have England really achieved since the end of July 63 years ago? Chelsea have high expectations and money that shouts! If they want Frank they’ll get him. Forest weren’t keen to lose Cloughie but he was a tried and tested thoroughbred. It’s no real disrespect to the Rams that We have a potentially great manager, whether he stays or goes!
