It's big risk but the more I think about it, why not Lampard? He's an intelligent man who will immediately command the respect of the players, fans and media. He did okay at Derby, nothing sensational and tactically got outthought quite a bit, but he's still young. Given the potentially difficult circumstances Chelsea will be in I think an on pitch hero might be the unifying figure they need. Or it could go absolutely tits up and their midtable or worse next year.
