New Head Coach

That’s what I reckon. Lampard is high profile for the media. If it was him it would be all over the place by now.

 

And control over the budget though his political allegiances may mean he’s comfortable with cutting the workforce

 

He'd probably want double what Cifuentes would ask for, I'm surprised Lampard is even in the running for this specific issue.

 

Whoever the coach is we simply have to get back to playing the possession based attacking football TM laid the groundwork for. Beale and Dodds done their best to rip out any attacking threat the team had but I still believe we have the players to go back to enjoyable football and with some quality additions it can be developed into winning football as well.

Don't personally think Lampard is the man for doing that but if he's the head coach i'll be his biggest supporter while he's here.

 

This for me, whoever it is, gets my full support.

 

Agreed. We just have to hope he’s supported in the transfer market too.

 

It's not unfeasible, but also any info coming from family is bound to have a **** load of spin on it. They're not exactly going to say Neil hesitated cos he might fancy keeping his options open are they. Perhaps the injury and any perceived change in tone from the club just gives them an easy excuse/smokescreen.

 

Recruitment is key no matter who comes in. Can't allow the coach to go into the season with one hand tied behind their back again

 

I'm assuming Lampard lives in London or nearby and I'm pretty sure his wife works down there. Think he's got young kids too, I can't imagine him uprooting them all and it's an unappealing commute to say the least.

Hopefully rules him out. Not like jobs are particularly rare down south.

 

Franko fantastico franko maginifico

 

Yep. I wasn’t as keen on Mowbray as most but I felt for him after last summer.

 

The Dreyfus family helicopter would have him in London very quickly

 

2 announcements?

 

Just me that thinks this Lampard rumour is purely fabricated and isn’t even remotely true..?

 

I've just seen a full grown adult man (North of 50) wearing a Chelsea tracksuit and cap in Tesco...... I'm taking it as a sign.

 

I don't believe it all either tbh

 

Our recruitment process has seemed to have gone away from data and instead just partners of the Loose Women panel. Bold but I’ll get behind it.

 

Speakman’s contract is up in September

 

As opposed to the long line of managers falling over themselves to come and manage us?

 

Just passed the AOL, looks deserted
