Frank Lampard...

[twowrights]

Now confirmed as Chelsea's caretaker manager until the end of the season, last November in their case! Apparently John Terry was instrumental in Frank's appointment, it will give Terry more time to spend with Christine.

Think Frank will settle  things a bit.(I hope so).Think the club needs to get better control.To spend as much money as they did,and play so poor is unacceptable. Some players need to go,to many changes in the team.No team building. Must change. 

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Who would want to manage a squad of 47 players, that must be an impossible job to keep them all happy. 

Oh and they need a number 9 striker!

[Chelsea14Ian]

The Manager must manage .players need to do what there told and earn there money. Or shown  the door.Agree need a good Number 9.

[FlyingFortress]

Why ???

Manchester City played for 2 seasons without a No 9 since Sergio Auguro left 

They didn't too badly 😁

This year they have probably the best striker in the world and are in danger of not retaining the title 😳

Having said that I wish Frank Lampard all the best I always thought he was a top player and is also a top manager 

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Why you ask, because they had the players to play to a system without an outright number 9.

Top player yes but looks at games played v games won and the stats say less than 50% wins with all three teams that he has managed.

Top player, as a manager though average at Derby, below  average at Chelsea and Everton.

Fair comments.

Just think he will be a top manager one day 😥

I love my football.

But how a club can spend near on £600 million  on p!ayers in a season is obscene. Not to mention what the wage bill must be . 

The EPL is certainly not the game of the working man anymore . That ⛵ has long sailed . It's quite sad actually.

Frank Lampard.Living proof that it is possible to fail upwards as a manager.

Ken Goodwin is rumoured to be lined up next.

I'd have appointed Mary Poppins over the useless Frankie Lamps

[Chelsea14Ian]

I've said the poor owner.He knows as much about football as I know about rocket science. Group of over priced  and over paid players. That don't play as a team.Frank needs to give players  the hair dryer treatment.

Tbf, you can't tell a cat from a pug...

Possibly Brighton not on his weekend away list.  I know  nothing about football and have no room left in my head to learn anything so should not comment but I have had a little beer and need to get involved.  Kindest Regards Parge

He cared far more about the club.Also supported local community group.The American is useless.

We will return.Only London team to win Champions league twice.Unlike some London  teams,who've not even one the egg and spoon race.

Lampard doing exactly at Chelsea what everyone that's followed his management career so far expected him to do!

Arsenal are on top and rightly so.

Fantastic football 😁

But there is one club you would not want to be hunting you down.

And they seem to be hitting form at just the right time 😲
