Luis Enrique has stepped down as coach of the Spanish national team for personal reasons.

I think Frank coming to Chelsea is all but done but I wouldn't rule out us being linked with Enrique before long. 

That's the key word. His daughter is sick... (Hope for a speedy recovery) That's why he's stepping down. 

No way he'll be back in management any time soon.

I doubt it, the whole reason he's quit is personal reasons have rendered him unable to do his job and that was at International level.

Haha. Unbelievable.

Just going on the record here to say I’m all in favor of Lampard. 

Experience is good but overrated.  I think he’s got the rare combination of intelligence and personality to become a world class manager. 

If anyone can break the cycle of up-down-system change-sack-hire then it’s Frank Lampard. 

Why? 

Can’t say for sure.  Gut instinct plus a close watch of the way Derby played and the way the fans there treated him.  

My feeling is that Chelsea have won in recent years DESPITE  the madness.  I’d love it if we could win BECAUSE of a rational plan.  

Also: to everyone who says we wouldn’t hire him if he weren’t a club legend. Of course   You’re right. That’s part of the appeal. He scored 200 against...

Anyway ... sign him up

Not shocked.  Isn't a bookmaker's job to separate people from their money?

If I was Jose Mourinho, that's a job I'd really fancy ... huge potential up there, especially if a new owner is coming in ...

Lampard, inexperienced and going to cost £4M vs Benitez, hugely experienced, and free ... you can almost see the brain cells of our board chugging away here ....

If Frank hasn't been given the job by this time next week, then all I've got to say is... be afraid, be very afraid.

Lamps still 1/10 on skybet ... I'm sure FSW coming down from 25/1 to 5-1 is merely a bookmakers exercise in separating a few chancers from their cash !

Well we had Sarriball, and we were hoping for Frankieball, got a nasty feeling the board might be going for fattyball. The FSW is waiting in the wings

He’s at 4/1 now and Frank back to 1/10.

I’m sure our board can’t be this mad but if it turns out to be true I may be hibernating from football until Euro 2020!

Edit.

Frank now 1/8 ?

Edited June 24, 20197 yr by DukesOfHazard

Our macabre board going for another fsw interim season ? They wouldn't would they ?

After the huge split in the fan base this season surely the club wouldn't be stupid enough to appoint Rafa and do it all over again.

On the contrary, Rafa Benítez can unite us fans, we all hate the idea of seeing him back at the Club.

Lampard = 1/8

Benitez = 5/1 ?

Enrique = 12/1

Mourinho = 18/1

Santo = 18/1

If we hire Rafa again, instead of Frank, i'm done. Honestly, I'll start following Chelsea Ladies instead. That said, surely our board aren't so stupid to actually do it....

Anything is possible with our board.

Expect the unexpected ?

Ironic.  Newcastle fans are done because he left.  We'd be done if we hired him.

To me, it's more likely Spain hire him as Enrique's replacement.
