Im looking forward to me arguing with a whole new bunch of people about why Frank needs time and to be patient. 

Super frank back at the bridge. Very excited. 

 
I know it's going to be a tough season with Hazard gone and the transfer ban in place but, you know what? I'm looking forward to the next season. 

Lampard comes in as a club legend. That's going to give everyone a lift straight away. 

It's going to be so refreshing have a young, English, ambitious coach in charge of the team. 

Jody Morris as assistant, a man who is also already ingrained into the club... No digging out some former player from the abyss to help out the latest fashionable coach we've appointed. 

You're going to have a management team who have heft ties to the club and want to see it succeed. 

I know it's going to be a bit like the club gambling on former glories but I'm on board with that gamble. Since we sacked Ancelotti we've stumbled from manager to manager almost in an identity crises. Not quite sure of who we want to be as a club. 

If we appoint Lampard, Morris and bring in Cech as a sporting director we're laying down a blueprint of what we want the club to be going forward. We're doubling down on the identity of Chelsea. 

I know Lampard is inexperienced but I don't care. I'm as excited by the idea of Frank being in charge of the team as I have been of any previous managerial appointment.

So because Sarri wasnt leaping around like a lunatic he wasnt interested? Such a weird concept, I would much prefer a manager who keeps his cool on the sidelines and takes in whats going on than one who is constantly berating the officials, holding his head in his hands, throwing his arms around.

I agree to a degree. Rather a cool, level headed guy than one who is a bit of a loose cannon and shows himself up.

But when I look back on footage of Conte, boy do I miss that. The passion he showed at times and the joy when we won and the jumping into the crowd etc. I know he turned into a sulky bugger but that first season he had the balance of coolness and passion spot on.

Passionate when celebrating, cool when under pressure and needing to make decisions is a great mix, and Conte had that the first season. But I also had no problem at all with Sarri not losing his mind every time something happened, that would be incredibly counter productive in any manager surely. Its basically what Mourinho become, he got dragged (or dragged himeslf?) into off field battles both during games and away from them, totally took away what made him great in the first place.

Here, Here, this managerial appointment is by far the most exciting I can remember, and beats any superstar signing of a player we could of made (if we were allowed to sign anyone).

Maybe it's all a smoke screen and come Monday our new manager will be unveiled and it will be the FSW!!!!

At least if FSW became manager we could all be united in our hatred rather than the bickering of the last two seasons!

Great read, thanks for sharing!

Quite interesting. Couldn't help but think Michy (with some Didier guidance) could do well in that sort of set up where he doesn't have to play back to goal or link the play.

To be fair, what’s the rush? 

Not like the new manager needs to work on transfer strategy or anything with the club.

As long as they’re in place ready for pre-season then it’s all hunky dory.

Public announcement don't really mean we aren't sorting things for a new manager, I'm sued there's plenty going on already if the decision to make lampard the new gaffer has been made. 

 
Frank Lampard in talks with Chelsea, says Didier Drogba




Didier Drogba has appeared to confirm Frank Lampard is "in talks" with Chelsea to become their new manager in an Instagram live video.

Derby insist there has been no approach for their boss Lampard, but Chelsea are expected to come in for their club-record scorer after Maurizio Sarri's move to Juventus was finalised last week.


 


Former Blues striker Drogba, who was pictured with Lampard in London earlier this month, has claimed - in a live video shared to his 7.7m followers - that negotiations are, in fact, underway.

 
Asked who will be the best Chelsea manager, he said: "The one who is in talks now to get the job - Frank Lampard."

When pressed on the timing of Lampard's announcement, he added: "Relax! Relax!"

Former Derby captain and club ambassador, Michael Johnson, has asked Chelsea to be respectful in their pursuit of Lampard.

He said: "There has been no direct contact made by Chelsea, but you can't get away from the noises and it's probably going to be more 'when' than 'if'.

"From our side, from Derby's side, we want that little bit of respect from Chelsea's regard.

"If you're going to make the approach, just make the approach; be open and transparent about it."

Lampard, should he be named Chelsea boss, will have to fill the void of the departing Eden Hazard, who completed his £130m move to Real Madrid earlier this month.

Drogba believes the Blues will have a hard time coping after the Belgium international's exit.
