Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Joey66]

Surrounding himself with good coaches will make his job a whole lot easier.

Does make me think Dunc is done & thats why he was summoned to London today.

Dunc will still be there, past managers have fetched staff in .....

 

[Barnfred 55]

(He lost the cup final)

Yeah. Wasn't sure hence the I think. Its an age thing.

 

[turner]

He had about 8 top drawer players faust upon him in one go. He had to integrate these into a settled team. Not surprised he struggled to find the right balance.

Now he has to integrate 30 rubbish players into a team

 

[Parker]

Of the 3 interviewees, he's comfortably the best one.

Quite looking forward to him now

 

[Goat]

Yeah. Wasn't sure hence the I think. Its an age thing.

I only know cos I googled it yesterday.

 

[maccavennie]

Not as optimistic as I was when we were hiring Ancelotti (obviously). But apart from that, it’s the most I’ve been behind a managerial appointment.

With no reason to explain it but pure blind faith.

(Watch him tank now)

It's an appointment I think we'll all be willing him on. He'll get the fans onside, the fans will respond, Brentford next week is going to be immense.

Dunc will still be there, past managers have fetched staff in .....

But its becoming embarrassing that we’ve had SIX MANAGERS and he’s sat beside every single one of them.

Barry is also a set piece specialist

Does he know how to defend them lol

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Barry is also a set piece specialist

Oh good we need one of them after Digne was chased out…

 

[Barnfred 55]

Even if we go down, give him the time to get it right and fix the multiple issues we have on and off the field.

I think it's an appointment we can all get on board with after the last absolute abject failure we've had to put up with.

I don't believe we will go down Mac. May even get top half.

 

[Encoder]

He owes us an FA Cup too (2 if you count his Dar)

 

[Noble Savage]

"Lampard's points-per-game average of 1.67 is the lowest of any permanent Chelsea manager in the Premier League."

Wow , amazing , so excited , whoop .

 

[strummer]

It's the right appointment in my opinion but he's got a hell of a job on his hands to keep us up. Hopefully some of the mentalists will keep calm if he doesn't immediately turn us around

 

[gwladysnight]

One man cannot fix the mess that is this club. Even if we go down I would keep him on.

One man can get us relegated though. What qualifications for the job does Lampard actually have apart from being a darling of the media.

At Derby he finished 6th a massive 20 points behind a bang average Norwich side. At Chelsea, he mismanaged a team that Tuchel then won the Champions League with.

They also chose another no 2 .... Dunc needs to be there to get Frank settled in ASAP...

Plus his whole family have been footballers & managers - he has a pedigree to use younger players too...
