The Next Manager?

[Fernando 6,454]

The only thing I'm glad is that we finally will have a chance to introduce some youth. 

With Lamps and Jody, youth should get some chances. 

I have always said I don't care who the manager is, if you give time to youth you got my backing. I cut slack to managers who will do youth. 

Think this is the best we will get as far as for youth.

It's not the manager's who decide if they play the youth. It's the owner and board. 

No manger is going to risk playing a team with too much youth in it if the target is challenging titles and advancing in Europe. We've seen that for years.

people hated how we played with sarri.

 

they will hate it 10x more with lampard. and to think that we will play willian, pedro, luiz every game...

You already jugded it all before even setting a foot in? Lamps has to do really bad to be even more boring than Sarri. You dont think Sarri would have played those names almost each game?

Yes he aint ready, but it is what it is, its Chels afterall. Lets pull in one direction and support the cause, cuz we gonna need it.

Think any manager that comes in and benches or worse, gets rid of Jorginho would be making a serious mistake. Guys shown more than enough times this season particularly in the last 10 or 15 matches he is more than good enough. 

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.

Massive risk for both the club and Lampard, but better Lampard than anyone else. 

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.

I hope the same people that favours the youth to have a big impact coming season also accepts a 6-10th place because that's where we heading at with this squad + youth integration.

We are crap anyway you look. CL and title are way off. So at least we can make the most of it and develop youth. 

I rather see some future planning and then rip the rewards compared to grinding top 4 year after year with zero optimism.

Can't wait to see the faces of everyone here when we challenge for the title next year.

The alternative right now is playing Alonso, Willian, Pedro, Giroud

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.

Lampard, Jody Morris...maybe even Drogba if he's interested in helping out with coaching.

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.

This notion that Jorginho would fall apart outside of Sarriball is the laziest myth I've ever heard.

Lampard, Lampard.

We want you to stay, we want you to stay.

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.

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.
