Everyone that they are linked with/want seem to want to wait till the summer for the best choice of options. It's a daft time of the year to change a manager imo, their season isn't going to change much now, they would be better just going with the flow at the moment and getting stuck into early prep behind the scenes for next season imo.
Hence why I’d suggest to just throw Lampard at it, as he’d be delighted to have a crack at the Real tie, ask for low wages, and accept that he’s gone at the end of the season.
For me they have 10% chance of getting through with Saltor and possibly a 20% chance with Lampard simply due to the infernal atmosphere it would create at Stamford Bridge.
Would personally be very surprised if they don’t do that, if they can’t get their actual target until season end.
And as I’ve said I think Lampard does well with those players, at least on a short term basis. He is just absolutely not a manager who can cope with players like ours.
