Well he could after Chelsea too! Lampard is going to look a better catch as an ex-Chelsea manager than as an ex-Derby manager. Get real Mel.

'Frank doesn't owe us anything'. 100% PR diplomacy, They actually asked "do you think Frank owes you something" - and he said no. He's right in as much as it's not up to DCFC to decide if Frank owes us something. It's for Frank to decide that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Mel is coming over very well. He’s professional, calm and managing to leave the door open for Frank if he doesn’t join Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Everything Mel is saying would be spot on if it was all in the balance and Frank via third parties/agents didn't have a bloody good idea already what the offer is. Bit if a pantomime if you ask me. Simon Jordan is always a great pundit, initially thought he was an absolute tool but he has clear and often great views, always well expressed.

Nuwtfly Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Q: "What type of manager are we looking at (as a replacement)?" MM: "Firstly, it's the question most DCFC fans have got on their minds. We've seen this last season how things have come together. Forget the background of the manager, the person we bring in (should Frank bring in) has to maintain the style of play, has to continue the work with the academy, so a large part of what we'll be putting together will be to continue the mission. I'm looking for someone who can, as close as possible, can bring us the style of football, embrace the academy, have a good relationship with the fans."

Nuwtfly Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 MM: "This connection with the supports - it's hard to define what that brings. We know that this has been a far more exciting season than the results showed. That connection with the supporters goes back many years (back to the Clough era)."
