To Chelsea?
Worse kept secret in football
It’s almosy as bad as Ole at United
Arsenal fans will be happy. One less team to worry about.
Lampard set to integrate the Chelsea Academy and First Team squads, sharing facilities and having flexible training schedules.
Don't get why they have done it, failed at derby and let's not forget was given 2 of the better loan players from the pl to use.
He could do ok but certainly doesn't deserve the job
I think it's madness. I know Rafa isn't popular down there, but he's exactly what they need right now. Lampard has no experience on the European transfer market and hardly revolutionized football at Derby last year. Next summer is going to be huge for them. If they don't finish in the top 4 this season, it's going to be even more difficult to recruit top players. This could set Chelsea back 5 years or more.
Has Lampard officially taken the Chelsea job yet?
Is it a done deal or just what everyone expects?
Phillip Cocu lined up to replace him at Derby according to this:

I think they're nuts.
Slated Sarri for finishing 3rd and winning the Europa League, same people are now saying it would be a fantastic achievement if lampard could sneak into the top 4.
Have to feel for Gary Rowett
Achieved exactly the same position with Derby as him but quit for the sh1thole of Stoke whilst Lampard gets Chelsea
Good work by derby to have someone lined up so quickly, they must have been tapping up Wales bales for his top secret inside information
Call me mad but I think Lampard at Chelsea might work.
All I'll say is that what Lampard has done since he has stopped playing does not justify him being put in charge of a club that was winning Champions Leagues not too long ago - definitely an appointment for the fans and possibly one for a notoriously fickle dressing room.
Imo, Derby played by far the best football in the championship last season. Problem was, they could only sustain it for short periods in most games. They only just missed out in the play off final, and had Villa under the cosh in the last 10/15 minutes. We, as City fans know only too well what that feels like.
Maybe the transfer ban at Chelsea prevented them attracting a big name manager. I think Lampard could well prove the majority in this thread wrong.

I couldn’t see this happening, seems a big gamble. It worked with Pep and Zidane though..
Always wonder how Warnock would do with a top 4 team. When he has a strong championship team he’ll get you promoted. He got us up automatically with a team that probably should have been fighting for 6th. I think he would’ve done a better job than most man united managers since fergie.
