Let me say I don't wish him to fail before i start and I too am not looking to offer incitement only an outside opinion.
Looking at his record, he went to Derby a team that finished 6th previously and spent some money brought in his own players of choice on loan etc and adapted the style of football. Where did they finish.6th.
If there wasnt a ban in place for your clubs off field behaviour would Lampard be appointed? No chance.
Roman would seek another A list manager.
Will all the youths players people talk about really get that much of chance? After a few tough games will Frank revert to the older players, caution would suggest so. The shear volume of players stockpiled by chelsea over the years restricts the chances for these younger players hence why CHO has looked to leave, Solanke, Ake, Abraham, Chalobah, Brewster to name a few all jumped ship or have seriously considered it.
Lets not forget he has the to deal with the ego's can lampard handle it? He will be given respect to beging with but not to the same level he was afforded at Derby. We have seen up and down the country how much players can turn on a manager suddenly as things get tough. Look at Utd there was whispers of Ole getting sacked by the end of the season!
My closing opinion looking in from the outside is this a safe low risk option for Chelsea born of a lack of choice due to the aformentioned ban imposed. I would predict a strong start maybe 5-10 games and then a tale off with an sacking purely based on your boards trigger happy approach.
I would hope to be wrong as this could have a big impact on a good young up coming english manager who has potential but has been thrown into the furness here and I hope it doesn't ruin his career.
Again not looking to cause issue just offering an opinion from the outside on this appointment.
