Blissful union? Frank Lampard is someone blue but definitely not something new via IrishTimesSport
And there was something undeniably more-ish and fun about seeing Lampard back again at the managerial plinth, already in full Chelsea tracksuit with monogrammed FL branding.
In fairness, this is a genuinely odd turn all round, New Chelsea plus Old Chelsea, two things that weren’t ever supposed to meet, the football equivalent of the bits in Back to the Future where two versions of Marty or Biff collide on the same timeline causing a chain reaction that can unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum.
And yet, we will of course be watching, because this is all box office. There is the prospect of Lampard’s own unprocessed Main Character Energy, a footballing aristo so effortlessly entitled he somehow projects the sense he is being unfairly denied his rightful opportunities even while simultaneously promoted way beyond his objective level purely on the basis of his name and his playing days.
