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

[Marius57]

I won’t believe it’s true, until @Theoneandonly tells us it’s a done deal, three hours after it’s officially announced.

Pereira has been our manager since Monday pal. Haven't you been paying attention?

 

[Blue83]

He's going to be a great fit for us, got the hunger our previous managers haven't had to win everything because they already did

 

[navidson]

Any suggestion as to when an announcement will be made?

 

[Gilbert..]

Someone who has a good defensive record and/or a record of keeping teams in the premier league. Lampard needs to hit the ground running and turn things around quickly, and coach the players very quickly. Coaching and the defensive set up seems like his biggest weakness as a manager, therefore I’m worried. relegation would be a disaster, and I think this appointment has question marks and risk written all over it.

if we where mid table/top half, then yea maybe the risk is worth taking, but imho there is too much at risk.

Roy Hodgson?

 

[BlueStevie35]

I will say it again, In what way is he proven!

He has had 2.5 seasons of experience, 1 of those years he didn’t improve the position of his team, the other 1.5 seasons he displayed shocking defensive coaching and got the sack, also failed to integrate and coach new signings and he had the worst winning % in their premier league history.

Hmmm another bad stench coming from here, cannot think why?

Tomorow prob

 

[Neiler]

Right, that’s it we have a little matter of a relegation battle to deal with. Let’s fight for this.

Frankly needs to be left alone, full support for two years and we need to build, regardless.

Everyone melt into the background and leave him now.

He has my full support, go on lad.

I hate this being used against him. Was he or was he not under constraints for a season which no other Chelsea manager has had to endure in Premier League history? Also, did he or did he not lose Hazard, a world class player who contributed more than half of their goals/assists?

Frankie goes to Hollywood Goodison…….

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I’m just glad the manager debacle is finished With. Let’s get down to business now. Get the lads firing Frank.

 

[Matelot]

I’m happy with Frank, but I have to say I’m more excited with the possibility of Steve Holland and Anthony Barry joining him. That would be some management team right there. I hope the rumours are true.

@Kev The Rat said twice this week that pereira was a done deal
?

 

[gwladysnight]

You made out like he failed coming 6th with a team of some of the best players in the league. So I am for real. That’s a genuinely hard league to get out of and he done a good job with some good youngsters.

He didn't get them out of that League though.

They finished 1 point ahead of Boro and 4 ahead of Forrest.

Derby were a team that were perpetually challenging for promotion prior to Lampard arriving. In the five previous seasons, they finished between 3rd and 9th, with between 67 and 85 points. Lampard finished 6th with 74 points. Bang average.

I’m hopeful that as a fan base we seem somewhat united on this appointment and can give the fella some time
