If that's spurs first team then happy days. Otherwise it's just a reason to be hopeful, and certainly not a business plan.

Reckon he might tempt Abraham into a season-long loan?!

If the aim is to keep us in the Premiership for yet another season,Roy will achieve this,however hard it is on the eye !!

The only two I would consider are Howe and Dyche. Both have managed lower premier league teams with some success for a period of time. Lampard had one year at Derby with limited success to take over at Chelsea with lots of resources. Those talking about youngsters he’ll bring through should realise that we don’t have the same quality of youngsters that Chelsea do.

Would be a massive gamble and one I hope Parish doesn’t make. If we were to go down with Dyche or Howe I would also have more confidence in them bringing us back up as they have managed at that level for more than a year as well. They are two solid credible candidates and probably as good as we can get.

Thats why OUR youngsters beat Chelski, 1-0 Away & 2-1 at Home this season . . .

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Parrish we know is no fool - the only time he really f*cked up was with FDB - if Lampard has persuaded him he has what it takes I'm prepared to trust that decision. Lampard's record is mixed but there is much more success than failure - two good seasons and one where he was found out at top level. My Chelsea die hard source tells me Lampard one-by-one lost the senior/older players, he could not get the respect that younger or Championship players would give him. He might have a touch of the Steve Clarke's about him and take longer to grasp the man-management part of the job, but I think some of this emphasis on being able to instil fear is exaggerated - Solskjear's doing OK without a hairdryer, same with Potter and others. Hopefully Lampard has learnt how to make his sides better defensively and has convinced Parrish of that, because that would be the other legitimate concern.
