Limped Derby in to the playoffs, which surely should have been the absolute minimum expectation for any coach there given their squad. Can’t see anything that he’s done to warrant being given such a massive job at this stage in his career, other than play for Chelsea of course. But isn’t he just about the only bloke left, who hasn’t managed them yet..?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Personally, given their restrictions transfer wise, they won't do anything next season and Lampard is one of very few people that could have a poor season and the fans would still love him. Quite a clever move on Chelsea's part IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdliketoRogerMoore Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 First time a top 4 club has hired a an English manager for 30/40 years? I’m struggling to think of the last time it happened!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Perfect appointment for them. Can't sign anyone. The young players will look up to him, the fans will give him plenty of leeway. Great relationship with the hierarchy. Only surprise so far is that they let dasilva go before he was appointed. Not that I am complaining.

downendcity Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Lampard has really fallen on his feet hasn't he? Parachuted in to a big championship club for his first management position, where it could be argued he could hardly fail with the size of the club quality of the squad. However, Oon the Derby forum last season I read that many fans thought his inexperience cost them when they were pushing for an automatic promotion shot. Now, after just one season of management he is brought in to manage one of the top premier league clubs. Measured against recent Chelsea managers he has not been chosen because of his achievements and experience, but almost certainly because of his status and reputation as a player at the club. Chelsea's situation with transfers and having just lost their most influential player means that he will almost certainly be granted a lot more slack than would normally be the case with Abramovich's managers, so he will be gaining not just premier league, but management experience, "on the job" so to speak. FL may well come good and turn out to be an inspired appointment and if he does good luck to the lad. However, he has been given a leg up on the managerial ladder that would be afforded to very few others. P.S. Was Sol Campbell considered/interviewed for the Chelsea job?

Yes but just like in his previous interviews he was underprepared and couldn't name any of the players, wasn't sure of what formation he would use and only wanted the job because he was Sol Campbell and once played for England.
