Sarri was never liked by the supporters and never connected with them at all and has been replaced by a club legend whom I suspect will enjoy an extended honeymoon period because of his standing at the club and the transfer embargo.With the loss of Hazard and the transfer ban it could well be a testing time for Lampard who only has a season of management under his belt.

I loved the way he played hard to get.

Red and Blue Army!

Chelsea and Man u both to finish outside top 6??

Leicester, Wolves, Everton, maybe even West ham waiting to take their places? Or dare I say us?

I'm actually quite excited to see what Chelsea and Lamps do this season. With the transfer ban and Lampard looks like he's not scared to use the youth players, it will be interesting to see how they do.

It feels very rushed for him, but I hope he does well as a young English manager getting a chance in the Prem, which doesn't often happen.

Agreed.

The transfer ban actually helps Lampard as he can promote youth players where required. Any criticisms can be shrugged off because of the ban. I hope he succeeds because we need more young British managers at the top level.

One more point
