I really want us to keep hold of Frank, but can see him really wanting to prove himself at Chelsea before too long.
I don’t think he would do a terrible job, but he is far from the finished article and has been guilty of getting tactics and personnel choices wrong on quite a few occasions.
Bielsa did a number on us 3 times out of 4 last season and Villa knew exactly how to deal with us too. Lampard was quite one dimensional in his approach, which is to be expected as a rookie manager without much coaching experience either.
Lampard and Morris have really helped turn the club around from style of play (thankfully) after a tortuous season watching Robert-ball and Morris has been involved in getting our academy into even better shape. I’d love them to continue to do that for another year or two.
I can’t see Lampard getting Chelsea any closer to the top two than Sarri did. Maybe he needs another year with us to show what he has learnt and then he can replace Benitez/Nuno/Whoever after a 5th place finish and a champions league win.
