I Think Lampard is the Perfect signing he will bring the youngsters through get rid of the overpaid dross, be able to attract 4 good loan signings in the mean time and i am sure pick up a couple of bargains, that's 6 new players, and hopefully Ferguson and Tomkins with a better season injury wise, my only surprise is he would want the job

Why would Dyche want to leave Burnley to come to Palace. It’s nonsensical move for him, he runs the team at Burnley and will have money from new owners in the summer. Palace is a sideways move, so why move.

Lampard is the risk candidate, but I think he's a very intelligent man who strikes me as somebody who could level with players. And that's basically the combination you need.

Dyche to me is gapingly obvious as the ideal candidate but I wasn't aware Burnley have new owners. That can go either way for him, but it's reasonable suppose that may put him out of reach for now.

We can always give Lampard 10 games and then get BFS back.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Chelski might want £40m but I'd be surprised if they get anything like that. They will need to offload to buy the players they want and it might have to be a fire sale with football finances being what they are.

The rollover TV contract will see clubs getting less money given that the PL have to pay more to the rest of the football pyramid (Yes it's only £100m extra so £5m less for each club over the period but add in how much clubs have lost over Covid and finances aren't looking great). Evidence? See how the asking price for Sancho seems to be dropping substantially plus the state of the mega Spanish and Italian clubs. Also there was little transfer activity in the last window worth talking about.

Finally, it's always a gamble taking players from big clubs. Such players are used to having good players around them. Put them in a bang-average team like ours and will they be able to perform?

Maybe not. I think the takeover involved a lot of debt so Burnley's transfer purse might just be even smaller than ours!

fingers crossed for B. I can't imagine Roy stalling on a contract at his age, or even that there's one on the table. I have reservations about Frank after reading about how he left some players out in the cold at Chelsea, which makes me question his man-management especially as we have players that don't respond well to that management style. However one would hope that he has critiqued what went wrong and learned from his previous experience.
