So thats both Chelsea and United handicapping themselves for next season. Top 4 should be a shoo in for us.....no?

This is an example of the problem with the human condition. Lampard knows that the Chelsea job is not right for him now. It will always be there for him. But we seldom have the nous for self introspection. He will likely tank at Chelsea and ruin his prospects for another club, whereas winning something with Derby will failure proof himself for at least the next 10 years.

You're right but Lampard might think that if for any reason things don't go right at Derby, he might not be so attractive to Chelsea. but if i was him i'd seek as many assurances as possible that they would give him 3 years and be prepared to wait a season or two while he gets bedded in

It might be the only time Abramovich decides to go down this route because of the transfer ban, so for Lampard it might be a now or never moment. He could be a manager for another 20 years if he wanted to, so failure for him at this stage of his career isn’t going to finish him. He’s got nothing to lose.

If Lampard continued to rise as a manager then I think he'd have other opportunities with Chelsea, especially given how often they change manager. But he won't get any assurances - no manager does in the modern game. He's ideal for Chelsea now as he's done well with a crop of young players, which is the directive Lampard would be given if the transfer bans holds up at the Chavs.

[Mac76]

yeah the transfer ban does make him more attractive for the resoasn you both give - and i get that assurances don;t count for much, but as much as they exist he should try to get what he can - which i'm sure he will.

ou'd like to think Chelsea would get that he's a special person to the club and so not treat him as so disposable

i really hope Sarri goes on to win loads btw and sticks it to the chavs

Strange one IMO. No pedigree as a manager at this level.
The old "he was a great player for us therefore he'll be a great manager" logic doesn't really work.
