Haha, journalism as lazy as the link.

I doubt that Chelsea would go for someone with one years management experience on his CV regardless of his affiliations with the club in the past. RDM wasn't even given the job after doing such a good job as caretaker.

The truth is, the best thing about Frank is his contacts at Chelsea helping us get players of a high enough calibre to compete at Championship level. That's the first thing he'll not have at Chelsea. The bit about our financial issues is blown a bit out of proportion. Most of our high earners are out of contract at the end of the season and our youth teams are now at the point where we will be able to promote these players to the first team (Jayden Bogle being an example this year). We won't be spending big money on players but we will get quality in.

The worst thing about Frank is his naivety. He can come undone on the tactics and it's probably frustrating that players can't play like him. He's also got to work harder on his mentality, he's got carried away a few times this season and been fined for his behaviour. He also lost a mind game with Bielsa and that is basic management really. I don't doubt that other managers would have seen this already and will be happy to employ similar tactics to get in Lampards head pre-match.

He's learning his craft at Derby. I don't doubt he will be happy togo to Chelsea and I think that's his aim, but he isn't ready yet. Even if he gets promoted with us this season (unlikely), I don't think he'd be offered the Chelsea job.
