the wes 7,212 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Derby will demand £4m if Chelsea try to make Frank Lampard to be their new manager, Sky Sports News understands, due to a clause in his contract at Pride Park. Chelsea are yet to make a formal approach, but Derby are bracing themselves now an agreement has been reached for Maurizio Sarri to take over at Juventus. Under the terms of his deal, any club wishing to take him is required to pay £3.5m in compensation to Derby - that figure rises to £4m if the buying club is playing Champions League football - as Chelsea will next season.

If we're really going to rely on the youth as the case seems for next season then let's do that I personally believe Drogba's skill set lies as a club ambassador promoting the club in events around the world.

Tomo 21,751 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 3 hours ago, !Hazard! said: I think Jorginho is a dream player for almost any manager. People seriously underestimate him and think he is some one trick pony who can only play well under Sarri's specific tactics. Pep adores him, Mourinho recently called him the best midfielder in the world etc. I don't think there's a manager in the world who would look at our current squad and even think about putting Jorginho on the bench. Most likely, however, many managers would play him in a pivot next to Kante rather than as lone DM as Sarri is doing. I expect Lampard to set up this team in 4-2-3-1 as well. This notion that Jorginho would fall apart outside of Sarriball is the laziest myth I've ever heard. Fernando and Blue Armour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to read an analysis of Lampard's football at Derby. Almost identical to Sarri's. Keep the progressive football moving at this club. Yup it has been just as dull tbf. Solid but neither spectacular in front of goal nor overly stable in defence. His tactical concepts really are not mature yet and I doubt that the feelgood factor alone will carry us through the season. I am also not sure if Lamps is a feelgood-type manager. He is a genuine, smart, calm and introverted guy. Not a cheerful character like Conte or Ancelotti who focus on keeping a good atmosphere. What he has going on for him is the massive respect from anyone in the club. But as long as this is not backed up by tactics it will not be enough. Whoever becomes manager is set up to fail. I dont want it to be Lamps. Supermonkey92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm not keen on Lampard taking over but if he does he'll have my undying support some on here are writing him off before a ball has been kicked. It's not a doomsday scenario it will be one of our own taking over not Allardyce or Pullis.

manpe 10,861 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 7 hours ago, Mana said: I'll promise you this: If he fails top 4, he's going. I doubt it. We showed unprecedented patience with Mourinho, Sarri and to an extent Conte. Lampard will be given even more leeway because sacking him for something petty would permanently turn the fans, plus I know the board are dumb in football matters but I do trust them to acknowledge that top 4 under current circumstances would be a bonus, not a do-or-die target. If we don't completely implode, I think he will get a long-term opportunity with Jody to slowly and patiently grow with us. ulsterchelsea and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarri would be gone if he had failed, Mourinho was booted even before the season ended, and Conte was booted after finishing 5th. Them managers hada transfer window lamps doesn't its a hard ask from the board to ask lamps to do that with no with transfer window but our board are ruthless when it comes to sacking managers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
