I can't see Lampard going to Chelsea. They're in a transitional phase, they have to replace Hazard. They need a top manager with European experience.

They cannot replace Hazard. They're under a transfer embargo.

They're under a transfer ban, they can't replace Hazard. No top manager wants that job.

I'm assuming they'd like to hire someone for more than one season. Next summer is going to be huge for them. If I was Abramovich, I'd want someone more experienced than Lampard. I'd probably go for Rafa.

Chelsea fans hate Rafa. It's also Chelsea, managers don't last more than a season so why take the job when you're already in catch up mode? You might even get sacked. Lampard could blood the youth, keep them in top 6 and then he may be the fall guy. He also might knock it out of the park. Chelsea have a ridiculous youth team and it's about time they took advantage of that.

It's just right for a Jose return .

What a stupid decision from a club in turmoil. Perhaps we should thank our lucky stars we have an owner who has stabilised the club financially and not have the kind of ownership that Birmingham have.

Strange set of circumstances around Gary Monk.
Did reasonably well at Leeds, then sacked, same at Middlesborough and now Birmingham.
Given the fact that they were one of the potential relegation teams at the start of the season, coupled with the FFP fines/points deductions (all the fault of the board) seems to me they are looking for a scapegoat to hide their own inadequacies.?

The 2 biggest names on your list were not decent for them. Zola out of his depth and Redknapp out of his money tree!
