Chelsea did not give Frank a contract. He was free to go wherever he wanted. No need for a cunning plan.
I think this was all just a fact of SFF being better than everybody thought, apart from Peller's.
Lampard's intention was to join NYFC as the commitment was there but Peller's recognised his experience would benefit us and there was no way Lampard could turn down the offer, whether it be to win further honours or to remind Chelsea that they shouldn't have let him go so early.
Peller's has pulled a blinder and I'm hoping Lampard's many years of CL experience help us out going forward. That experience is priceless.
