Oh fuck, so difficult... I am suggesting the possibility that the club is not 100% sure they want Lampard out. If they are not sure, how will they offer or reject anything? When you don't know what you are going to do, you just wait until you decide. Will there be risks? YES, but you don't make a move if you don't know what you want. Imagine you found your dream house but it is a bit old and costs too much. Do you buy it, because someone else can get it? - OR - Do you risk losing the opportunity until you decide whether it really is the best choice? A horrible example, but it might light you up. I really don't know why you got bothered by all of this, it is just me trying to find hope in their silence.
