Good going forward some games then utterly toothless the next. Also defensively they are very suspect. The money hes spent there is a lot for a team like Bournemouth in all fairness too. Although theyve signed some talented players in the past, (Ryan Fraser biggest bargain theyve made in years though, was like 300k and now they will get 30m at least for him if they sell him in the summer off the back of a season where he got 14 assists), the likes of Jordon Ibe, Dom Solanke, Lewis Cook, Tyron Mings, Jefferson Lerma, though have all cost them big money for a club with their resources and struggled to do anything of note. Id like to see Howe at a bigger club than Bournemouth to see his potential as a manager at a big club in the future but ultimately I dont know if he will ever manage a CL level side. Which is the minimum of what we should be aspiring to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/3/2019 at 11:23 PM, Jason said: I find Eddie Howe to be overrated, TBH. His Bournemouth side play good football but as you said, they can't defend (you can't just brush it off like it's nothing if we want to succeed at the highest level) and Howe doesn't seem to offer much in terms of tactical variety. Furthermore, since he got Bournemouth to the Premier League in 2015, he has spent £136.5 million - which is quite a lot when you consider some of the smaller sides don't even get to spend that much - and finished 16th, 9th, 12th and 14th, with a return of 42, 46, 44, 45 points respectively. On 6/3/2019 at 11:37 PM, Jason said: They might have crappy defenders but if there's proper tactical organization, it can help mask the deficiency. But I don't think we have seen that and even if they have finished above the likes of West Ham, look at their points return. Just above the 40s, doing just enough to stay in the league and that's it. I don't get the sense that they're going anywhere. Reminds me of Tony Pulis at Stoke, where he did just enough to keep them up, played the same dull football year in year out and eventually got booted out.

He just stepped down as the Spanish National team manager because of it, so he will never come work here until it is sorted, and if it is he himself who is really ill, he may never manage again if he doesn't recover.

Vesper 30,193 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Chelsea target Frank Lampard tells Derby players his intention https://www.teamtalk.com/news/chelsea-target-frank-lampard-tells-derby-players-his-intention Frank Lampard has reportedly told his Derby players that he will quit to take over at Chelsea, as long as he gets the right offer. The Daily Express’ exclusive reports that the Chelsea legend has informed his squad that his departure to Stamford Bridge will more than likely happen with discussions underway. Lampard, who is 41 today, is understood to be Chelsea’s top target to replace Maurizio Sarrio, who was officially unveiled as Juventus coach this morning. Derby are yet to receive a formal offer for Lampard, but they want, per the source, £4million to release the former England midfielder from the remaining two years of his Pride Park deal. Derby owner Mel Morris stressed at the start of the week that the club wanted to keep Lampard as manager “for the long term”. However, the lure of a return to Chelsea appears too strong and the Championship club are believed to be preparing for Lampard’s exit, while Lampard, who is on holiday in the south of France, tries to negotiate himself a lucrative three-year deal in the capital. The Rams reportedly approached Steven Gerrard, who declined, while Charlton’s Lee Bowyer and John Terry at Aston Villa have just signed new deals, as they look for quick replacement. snip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! BigMabz 61 Posted June 20, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted June 20, 2019 Just want an answer. Is it Frank or isn't it? Who is it going to be.... Bored of all the speculation. Want someone to get excited about. I know Frank has low levels of experience and a transfer ban to contend with. But, there are some opportunities for his hiring to be a success. Youth will get a chance, most specifically English youth. Also, don't underestimate his drive and work ethic. He was never the most athletic or gifted footballer but he worked his socks off, day in, day out to become the club legend that he is. I have no doubts that he will do this as a manager. It won't be stubborn Sarri, who wants to mould his players to his system. It will be adaptable and grow as Frank grows. And yes, there may be some growing pains because his green managerial status. But Frank is a worker, and he will expect that from his players, backroom staff, and the fans. Of course there are some risks involved. But lets get behind the guy. This is different for Chelsea. Maybe we are finally breaking the cycle that has lead to no consistency with our managerial position. Come on Frank Come on Chelsea.

Maybe we are finally breaking the cycle that has lead to no consistency with our managerial position. Come on Frank Come on Chelsea. Will believe it when a manager sees out the duration of his initial contract. I know thats maybe a tall order but Klopp has been at Liverpool since 2015, Pep at City since 2016. Both signed initial 3 year contracts and have seen them out as well as renewing. That is managerial consistency. Believing in a project and a coach in the long term as well as the short term. Regardless of the name, we will only break that cycle when we give a manager the full duration of his initial contract or longer. For me, I think Lampard will only get 2 years maximum. Lot of it depends on results (which based on the last few seasons could be good or bad with this squad) and then when the transfer ban is lifted, if the results arent great or we arent being competitive enough the club will see this and make contingencies definitely, especially regarding regarding a more proven manager if its not going well (which for a relatively young manager, regardless of his playing career, leaving a relatively secure job to come here, I do hope it goes well). I think his first year with this ban will maybe give him a bit more leeway but the objective is still gonna be top 4 minimum. Honestly if we can win a league with Moses, Luiz, and Alonso as key players (which they were even if we had Eden and Costa) then they and some percentage of the fan base will surely expect us to get top 4 with a squad with proven and experienced players like Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Willian, Pedro, Luiz, Rudiger, Kepa, Giroud. Even if some of them arent going to put up amazing seasons. Whoever comes in, I want them to do well. If its Lamps, who I do have reservations about in all honesty as a lot of people and the media seem to be basing what he can do as a manager for Chelsea on what hes experienced as a player like handling bigger named players (he hasnt actually managed a player in that bracket) and competing in the top division of English football. Yes he knows the club, the fans will be much more responsive to his appointment and yes he will get respect in the dressing room but he still has to prove himself in a managerial capacity and thats unfortunately my biggest concern. Yes he played Mount and Tomori at Derby among a few other youngsters and we have a very good academy but the pressure will still be on from day one as soon as he walks in the door. Bigger and better managers have come in here and struggled with the pressure, the handling of big names and even getting the team playing well. World Cup winners, CL winners, PL winners, La Liga winners, Serie A winners... If hes confirmed I hope he does well but if people werent happy with how it went last year, it could be a long season, theres a lot to be done in certain areas and I doubt it will be plain sailing. Certain players need booted up the arse. Certain players need phased out. Can he keep 18-20 bigger players happy as we will be in 4 competitions? Can he break the cycle and continue Sarris integration of young players like CHO and RLC, using the likes of Reece James and Mason Mount while still getting results? Also with Gaz leaving, we are losing another hugely experienced leadership figure, which regardless of the level he is as a player is a blow too. If Lamps can come in and manage to do it, fair play, its not an easy job for anybody yet alone a guy 1 year into his managerial career. communicate, Johnnyeye, OhForAGreavsie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
