This time last year an ex Chelsea player Jokanovic gets Fulham promoted playing good football his name is mentioned about getting the Chelsea job but he was never a serious contender. Jokanovic was one of the worse players I've seen at Chelsea and that's saying something when you consider some of the players we had in the late 70's early 80's especially. He looked like and had the mobility of a lampost and the dribbling skill and passing range of a toddler.

A year later an ex Chelsea player scrapes Derby into the playoffs again playing good football but doesn't quite make it. Frank Lampard Chelsea legend serial trophy winner has over 100 England caps is now the favourite for the Chelsea job anyone notice the disparity ?.

LOL i love your assessment of Jokanovic as a player

Mind you your assessment all round seems bang on.

Lampard's reputation will be sullied after what will inevitably be a horrible season and I don't want that but realistically speaking Jody Morris is one of the most knowledgeable people out there in regards to the qualities of the players in our loan army so its a bit of a quandary.

It won't tho! Who is genuinely going to think any less of Frankie if it doesn't work out for him?

Looks like Woods has just been goosed by someone seems that restraining order against Sean Young hasn't worked . Pellegrini always looks like he's constantly remembering a childhood trauma like seeing his dog drown and is going to break down at any given moment.

Allegri is favoured by quite a few people mainly due to experience/CV, and his track record of playing more 'industrial' football that Chelsea are better recognised for and to get the most out of an older, experienced group of players.

However if reverting back to type with regards to tactics, style, etc is the best way to approach this post Hazard, transfer ban stage then we might as well seriously consider bringing Mourinho back.

His CV is better than Allegri, is the master of that style of football and then can also speak English fluently (if one of Allegri's positives is his man management, being unable to speak English doesn't sound too promising) and also ticks boxes for experience managing in the Premier League and knows the club inside out (and still a few of the players).

I'm not endorsing Mourinho to return for a third stint but if we go back down that type of route then his track record and CV has to suggest he is the best option for that whether some want to admit it or not.

Jorge Jesus. Fuck me. Really scraping the barrel now. Also Steve Holland? I hate to think we are going to go into a season with no transfers, focusing on inproving the squad by integrating players who are potentially going to be very good/good standard PL players in the next few years like Reece James, Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount and appoint a complete novice in terms of managing at the top level in either Frank Lampard or Steve Holland. It would be incredibly risky and perhaps bold but I dont see it panning out well for any of the two. Theres too much there that could possibly go wrong. Either the squad doesnt do as well as before with a lot of aging players such as Luiz, Azpi, Giroud, Willian, Pedro, Higuain, Caballero all declining ir FL/SH struggling to deal with the expectations/pressure at the club. Or not performing well and finishing outside a CL spot which would be dire for recruitment. Or various other reasons.

No way Allegri would take the job because I think other teams will be interested but if not try get him on a 2/3 year deal, that gives Lampard, who I think will eventually end up in the dug out here if his coaching career goes well, enough time to actually prove his worth as a coach and then we can see. If not and if Allegri has done a good job keep him. Allegri is very much safe hands in regards to everyone else weve been linked with, similar to appointing Conte I feel. Experienced at 2 top clubs in Milan and Juventus, won with both, tactically flexible, able to get the best out of players by making a system to better suit them rather than shoehorning players into a fixed system. I think its a no brainer really, if hes up for it and we can get him, it would be the safest and more assuring move to take with this transfer ban next season. Hes shown that he can get the most from older players too, such as Khedira, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Matuidi, who at their previous clubs were perhaps considered 'finished' or not good enough, which could be helpful because we have got Pedro, Willian, Luiz, Higuain, Giroud (was pretty pish other than Europa League lets be honest) etc who can all do better and he could get that from them perhaps.

There's honestly a part of me that wants every single manager we approach, to reject the job.
