The Next Manager?

[Atomiswave 6,072]

“Chelsea have raised a lot of money in a transfer window where they have a ban:

£88m (plus add-ons) - Hazard

£8.7m - Aina

£8m - Kalas

£4/5m - Angban

Undisclosed (rumoured £2m - Dasilva

 

Outgoing: 

£40.3m - Kovacic”

Throw in the potential £50m from Atletico Madrid for Morata and we have got mnoney to burn, plus our war chest on top. Lets hope we can spend it well come next summer.

48 HOURS FC

I'm not expecting much for the new season. 

I actually expect us to finish like in 6th place and win nothing. 

[Special Juan 27,424]

Cocu is the new Derby gaffer according to Dutch media, he is taking with him Chris Van Der Weeden and Twan Scheepers, who announced his retirement this afternoon.

If this is achieved with 4+ youth players integrated in the first team, I would consider it a success.

Realistically, we'd be lucky if we got two. Mount and James.

If we begin to show balls, heart and desire then its a huge step in the right direction, nevermind if we integrate up to 4 youth players which would be awesome in it self.

Lol, might as well in the next 48 minutes or so

[Artandur 939]

I think 48 hrs is just the sweet spot where they hope to get credit if its true, but that you already forgot they said it, if it doesnt happen.

As reported by Telegraph Sport, Lampard agreed his Chelsea return on Monday but had to wait for the club to arrange the final details of his £4million compensation fee with Derby County ahead of an announcement.

Lampard will start work in time to oversee the return of some members of the first-team squad for pre-season training on Friday, ahead of taking those who have returned to Dublin next week.

Chelsea play two games in Dublin, against Bohemians next Wednesday night and St Patrick’s on Saturday July 13, before travelling to Japan where Lampard’s team will face Kawasaki Frontale and Barcelona.

Lampard will be joined by assistant Jody Morris and fitness coach Chris Jones, who have both moved from Derby back to Chelsea with him, and Joe Edwards is set to be promoted to the first-team coaching staff from the Academy.

One legend departs, another legend returns, to unearth the next.

Its poetic. Its destiny. Its Chelsea.

[manpe 10,861]

What I like the most about these appointments (Lampard, Morris, Edwards, Cech) is that there will be no doubts that their hearts will be in it, they are true blue and every decision will be made for the best of Chelsea. Unlike earlier managers and coaches, where you could question their desire and motives at times, this time it will not be in doubt. Hopefully this is the right move and great things will come.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

The problem with Lamps appointment is that the decision came from our club being sort of forced to do it due to ban and everything. The decision didnt came because the board would deliberately set a new plan with Lamps, youth etc.

Why?

If things go south, we will sack Lamps and just appoint the next man that will reduce the damage. And he might be someone completely opposite of integrating youth. That collapses all the faith young players have who just signed/will sign extensions because of Lamps appointment.

If Lamps appointment and youth integration was our core plan, we might replace Lamps eventualy, we could buy players etc, but that core plan would still be there. Youth would get the chance.

Now its all just a short term fix because thats the easiest and best way to go right now due to ban. Next summer we could change the narrative again and start buying players left and right. Because why not. Lets just pretend they never gave young players promises they will get the chance now that Lamps, Morris are at the club with plan to give youth a chance. 

Last year was Sarriball, this year is youth integration, next year we might revert to pragmatic manager again. 

If we appointed Lamps, it better be because we have set the new long term plan with youth and not just because this is a flavour of the month and best getaway for this season.

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

I can't believe this.

First Chelsea tell us it will be this Monday, then it would be Monday or Tuesday, then it would be today Wednesday, now they say it's likely to be Thursday FFS

Do they really know WTF is going on.
