Chelsea caretaker Lampard: I'm here to help if Boehly needs it

Chelsea caretaker manager Frank Lampard is ready to be a sounding board for the club's owners.

The co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have a vision to take the club to the very top.

However, spending a lot of money since the start of the summer transfer window has not worked as they were expecting.

With Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter both gone, Lampard will work with them to the end of this season.

He stated during a press conference: “If the owners, people that work here, decision-makers, medical, kit men and anybody wants to speak to me about anything: my job here is to try and affect it positively.

“If I know before, great. But this club wants to move forward so it's a case of how can we get better? I will be absolutely happy to have all those conversations. But my priority is trying to get results on the pitch."

He added: “The conversations I have had with the decision-makers and people running the club have all been really positive.

“You get an understanding of a club that has a vision and wants to move forward, now of course this is about people and people working in the right direction and collaborating and talking and trying to find the right way. That's the sense I've had coming here.

“Of course at the moment we are in a position where it is part of the process. That's fine. I keep saying the same thing but I'm ready to play my part in that process and I would be very honest and open with everybody. I know the club, I think that's a positive coming into this role now."
