Interesting. A couple of questions: were all the youngsters he involved loanees? If not, how many from your academy/DS/u23s played, and for how many games/minutes?

Most notable of course, Jayden Bogle with > 40 games, he hadn't made his debut previously. Mason Bennett had a significant season with > 20 games depsite injury - No other manager had put that trust in him, a couple more played a handful of games but most telling for me was his willingness to put academy players on the bench for big games ahead of far more experienced players - For example, Jason Knight and Callum Macdonald were subs in the playoff final, despite never having made a first team appearance, that's brave, I admire Lampard for that.

One change he made was to have the first team playing a style that better reflected the academy teams, that's important - Like I said, he will be missed.

Why as it was suggested that he could join the back room team at Chelsea but he chose to sign a new contract with Villa. I wonder if Zola will stay in the back room team.

Good luck to lamps. Heck of a job for a fairly inexperienced 41 year old

An Englishman in charge of a Top 6 side - how rare.

It's tricky - I quite like Lampard but I detest Chelsea. I wouldn't be surprised to see him manage the Albion one day.

Good move, they will probably struggle by their standards next season, but a young English manager is a good appointment for a top six club. As has been pointed out, very few get the chance at any of those clubs. I hope he gets a top four spot using youngsters, they have about three teams worth out on loan. Recall them all, see what there is. Show the Prem that English/British youngsters can compete in the higher echelons of the division.

I wonder if that chap was a supporter pre Abramovich when they flitted between Div 1 and 2.

I doubt they'll be a top 6 side for long.

Please, please, for the duration can you make the forum autocorrect "Chelsea" to "Chelsea's Frankie Lampard's Chelsea"...?

Pretty please?

Have serious doubts they will finish in the top 6 this coming season. Abramovich seems to have lost interest in Chelsea being the super power they once were, along with an inexperienced manager at this level, Hazard leaving and a transfer embargo. May well be wrong, but can see them imploding this season.

I do regard Hughton as English in reality though. Well, 'home grown'.

Using that qualifier, I wonder if many top flight clubs of recent times have had two English coaches in a row.

Actually, there's probably a few with the little Pardew merry-go-round.
