Bum l*cking again...

Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

Think he would do a good job. Don't see his time at Chelski as a failure. He had a transfer embargo and had to play youth players and finished in the top 4. Had a huge role in the development of Mount, Tomori, James, Gilmour. Jose would never had played any of them

Probably had a sense of loyalty to the players coming through at the club tather than signings made by a DOF ; this probably goes back to the days of Jose with Salah, De Bryne, Moses - none of them he would play but all went on to win the league, Moses under Conte at Chelsea.

Chelsea were said to have made a decision on Frank after losing a league game v Leicester, hardly a crime and Tuchel lost the FA cup final to them .Hence the last month Frank was a dead man walking. Maybe he was seen as a stop gap until Tuchel was ready by the hierarchy.

Tactically maybe a bit naive but he seems intent on attack which is the opposite of Roy.
For young players coming through they need that encouragement to develope. I'd see Frank as good for that. We don't have as good a youth set up at Chelsea (which is why they had a transfer embargo) but youngsters are never fully developed and need the opportunities somewhere or somebody to give them the chance.

As we are now category 1 academy that can hold onto our talent then we need a clear vision and long term goal. Lampard has inside knowledge of how to do that or what it takes. He had a free hit at Chelsea but you cannot deny he had the guts to play these youth - and the most since Fergie did it at Man Utd

We know they had much better academies but it's something for us to aspire to and need somebody up top with the will to make it happen. Frank has a point to prove

Exactly what he said for me as well

Unfortunately I think you may be correct. Moshiri wants Nuno and he holds the purse strings, although doesn’t appear the fans want him

I think it was fairly common knowledge that Roy was on £4.5m a year, but according to this (if accurate) [Link]
Ancellotti was on £11m per year! I had thought maybe we might be able to compete on salary, but seemingly not (although I highly doubt Nuno would get that much as Carlo as he is not as high profile).

It also makes you wonder, if we got Nuno I'd imagine he would want at least what Roy got, whereas Ismael or Cooper may well take the job for far less. Lampard was supposedly on £8m per year, so would he want something similar? If the club is trying to lower the wage bill then these things may come into play (although personally for the right man I think Parish would get the chequebook out.

Anyway, if dazza is correct then we'll find out today

As far as Barnsley, are concerned ,that would indicate , any interest in their manager is so far paper talk. No official approach, would indicate an interest in him is not confirmed. At the very least it looks like he wouldn’t be first choice, if he is , there must be some way to go. I might be wrong as I don’t keep up with every factor, but I always thought ,as with players , the club in possession had to allow an actual approach to the individual, let alone a series of interviews.
How agents manipulate the situation, may well be turning all that on its head of course, although officially they to are bound to a degree.
