Frank Lampard

Lamps shouldn't take all the blame. If AVB had handled the situation with more finesse perhaps Lamps would have been happy to take a backseat role.

I agree,AVB tried too hard to become a feared manager.Its evident that there wasn't much effective communication and the fact that he concentrated more on the future than the present was quite a gamble.I am not saying he did a bad job at Chelsea but he could have handled the situation much better.AVB deserved to be given more time but this is Chelsea Football Club and he should have known better.

You're right. He shouldn't take all the blame, André is culpable for some things.. But it is he who should have another chance. Not this 33-year old who's made his feelings and hostility clear in hampering the plan Villas-Boas had.

As I said on the night it all happened, legend or not, you can't bloody well sack the manager for no other reason than lack of game time.

No one is denying that Andre takes some of the blame for the teams failure. But, for me at least, the frustration with Frank has nothing to do with AVB. He is a club legend and is expected to give 100% effort and show the professionalism expected of him at this level by doing what is asked of him by the manager every single time. His lack of effort and interest in some of the matches during the AVB era is pathetic from my point of view and a stab in the back of not only the manager but the club and fans.

Great, that means the next manager knows he will have to overhaul the squad. It shows that a slow transitional period is impossible.

Yes if we get a new manager we will need this done.

Which is why I don't mind keeping RDM cause we won't have this problem.

I want the Chelsea blood to managed, because that won't be a problem like a foreing manager with the exception of Mourinho.

Give them the role and they will just look out for themselves, they are not going to drop themselves.

I don't think so, they will look for the best of the team.

Still don't see much wrong with any of Lampards quotes regarding AVB. Everything he's said reminds me of a player who want to play and the press give him the chance to express that sentiment rather than the plotting sob he's been painted by the press to be.

All his bad performances under AVB could just as easily be those of a player who is past it instead of one who picks his games.

My 2 cents.

Soccernet: Lampard set to be offered 250,000k/wk wages from Chinese team

[Madmax 9,219]

"I want the best team in China and we are prepared to invest a lot of money to bring Ferdinand and Lampard to us," club chairman Wang Guolin told The Sun newspaper. "Many people here watch the Premier League and know how good the two players are."

It also says they want Mourinho next season. Good luck with that.

Holy santa clause shit thats a lot of money!

Hmm wonder if he'd take it?

Wonder what they'd pay us for him if they are offering him wages like that.

Still Lampards biggest fan despite not been great this season. However I think he will be back to his best next season when we are sorted with a new manager and new players. I can see in his eyes how hungry he is and how hard he tries. Such a talent, just take my word, we have not seen the end of Super Frank Lampard!

I don't think that Lampard will left Chelsea , he said that Chelsea is his club and i think that Lampard is too much important for Chelsea , he is a man that represent the Successful Chelsea , and with the new players coming, to have Lampard along side you makes you fell that losing is not an option wearing the Chelsea shirt.
