From the Currant Bun:

"Chelsea aim to announce Derby County manager Frank Lampard as their new boss before the Blues players return for pre-season training next week."

Not that the hacks at the Sun are any more privy to inside info than any other journalists. But it does make sense.

I stand by what I said before. If Frank start working at Derby tomorrow I dont think he will half ass it and will commit to staying there.

Every season we go through this charade. Chelsea are weirdest big team on the planet. 

Just heard on the BBC radio 5 live that Derby have excused Frank from starting pre-season training this morning.

He's coming folks! Any day now...

I think Derby have handled this well all things considered - they start pre-season today.

I would imagine we'll give them first dibs on loan deals.

Head Coach title apparently.. I guess this means all transfers are by committee... suppose it's always been like that anyway?

Pffft, what a rubbish title. He's Super Frank, he'll be our Manager and leader.

Why the f**k have we not announced this yet? Its turning into another typical summer window for us and Im sick of it. At this rate we're not going to annouce a manager until the end of preseason, and come the season beginning is when we'll start working our team together, going to drop a ton of points at the beginning of the season then towards the end probably end up sacking Lamps and go through the same charade again. 

Really are a strange strange team when it comes to things like this.

Doesn't he actually have a title? Hasn't be got an OBE?

Yeah, Sky can fit that under his name when interviewing post-match.

I feel like I'm jinxing this... but it's hard not to get excited.

Derby fans seem to think Frank and Chelsea are disrespecting them somehow! I really don't understand this. In what way are they being disrespected?

Another ex player of hours Jimmy Greaves- the most prolific goal scorer this country has produced- is still plain Jimmy Greaves with no honours

Derby County has excused Frank Lampard from reporting back for pre-season training on Monday and Tuesday to allow his discussions regarding a potential move to Chelsea to be concluded as soon as possible.

I’m praying for Lampard to be announced today rather tomorrow - He was Mum’s favourite player since Kerry Dixon. Tomorrow is going to be 1 year since she passed away.

Indeed, he has a very record for us but probably still more attributed to Tottenham.

124 goals in 157 games for us. Not too shabby. 

Agreed with more closely connected to Spurs

Thanks Val, yeah that’s what I keep thinking! Wish I could celebrate with her she’d be so excited. 

I can’t wait for Lampard’s first interview!

I'm Sorry to hear that dansubrosa and yes, what a wonderful tribute that would be. Fingers crossed.

I didn't realise that was the ratio, no idea why but I thought he made 290~ appearances. Cleary I added another two seasons to his career here...
