“And it changed me as a person, so maybe to get the passion Try something, take yourself out of the comfort zone, and it might just appear for you.”

“Myself going out of my comfort zone and leaving Chelsea to go to Manchester City and then live in New York for two years ignited a million things in me and none of them were like big hobbies or something like that. It was just like, wow, there's a different world, a different culture. People who approach things with positivity and energy that I've never seen in England. And it changed my approach. So maybe my answer would be, come out of your comfort zone and do something which is different. I was fortunate to do it. I worked there, but I was living in probably what for me is possibly the best city in the world.”

“So that was my, and again, that's probably as deep as I could go because I don't care where it is, you could be in the coffee shops, you could be in this shop or that shop or whatever. But this is my daughter's story, obviously. So it was more about getting out and meeting people. And I guess probably to bring that question back to me.”

“And you kind of go, okay, well, fine, you've got all this information, it's the modern world, but what are you going to do? Go out and get a weekend job if you're going to go to uni, go out and experience what the real world is like rather than this alternative world that you're slightly looking at. And then I think something might ignite it.”

“With that one, but I'll let that one go. I don't agree with that, and then I start to feel like a dinosaur. But I do think that they kind of get caught up in that, and all the answers are there. And I go, okay, what are you going to do then? And they go, I don't know.”

“This is a good point, actually, because my daughters now, my eldest daughter is getting her A-level results this summer. It's talking about unit, but she doesn't really know what she wants to do. And I actually felt not bad. I went to school, obviously, but my pathway, looking back was like, fortunately, that. I didn't have to think about my shelves. So I haven't got any big answers for it. And also from a modern woman, where is the path there? What does she want? I asked her that question if she's not sure, which is completely understandable. So for me, I think for her, if we're flipping it there, maybe whether it's a passion or not. But my thing, and it probably goes back to my roots, is that work everything is what I say to her, is to get out there and get in the workplace and meet people. Because I think in the modern world with my daughters are so engrossed in social media, they have a lot of answers about life, you know, a lot of answers. And I'm like, okay, I don't agree.”

“No, I don't think so, I think probably Mason would have envisaged two years ago he'd stay at Chelsea for a lot of his career. I just think circumstances, his contract situation. I know he's got a big love for Chelsea, but also in the modern day, you know, I think more than even in my day players do move. And I don't think the challenge of moving now it's come to that. For Mason personally. Is a good challenge for him. I would have liked to have seen him start at Chelsea because I think he would have been central to it, but it didn't happen.”

“That are just going to give everything and have talent. Which top team he fits it. So I've seen some sort of alternative reactions to that. It's like, oh yeah, Mason Mounts of goodbye. Why would you pay that for him? Mason Mountain is going to be a fantastic player there, my opinion.”

“Born and bred, isn't he? Yeah, I think it's a company. He's got a year left on his contract. What I'll say about Mason is all the things I spoke about there, you talk about like modern players and how the game's changed. He is a throwback to the attitude and the commitment and the quality. That was the beauty of working with Mason was that he gave you so much in terms of his effort every day, anything you'd ask him to do. It was like, yeah, and he kind of got it. And I think any great player has to have that kind of intelligence and that desire about them. You know, like, what do you need me to do? I've got it and I'll do it. I'll repeat it. And also quality. So in terms of what he'll bring to Manchester United, it won't just be what Mason brings. He will bring loads of talent, but he's just going to go and levels around. Really, he's a biaser. I think so. And don't get me wrong, the bar raiser's already there with Bruno Fernandez, Rashami. But he will absolutely, yeah, Casamiro. But he will absolutely fit in with it. If you're trying to build, which you're saying, a group mentality of a team.”

“Frank back in the job, I think they maybe I've explained some of my part in it today and some of the challenges. I'll always take responsibility. I wouldn't walk back into that challenge without sort of saying this might not go right and what's my responsibility. But Chelsea's always a huge club. And as I say, I never went back to Chelsea until three days before I went and took the interim job manager and I went to the Liverpool game and ended up having a conversation. And it was a difficult period for me for some reason. I left in COVID, as I say, and I moved on to Everton. And it reignited that kind of feeling being back at Stanford Bridge. I have to say, not that I lost it. It just reignited it. And, you know, so to Chelsea fans, I know. I'm fine. I'm fine. I appreciate their support. Even my playing career, it's nice when you finish playing because your playing career is there. And I can look back on it with a lot of pleasure for a lot of the good moments. When you're in it, it's like, what's next? And you're sort of like always challenging yourself.”

“Yeah, and I've enjoyed that. I've enjoyed not speaking. It's been nice. Now, I think for Chelsea fans, I would say that. In terms of what do I think is next, I listened to Posh's hino spoke yesterday was his first press conference and he spoke very well and he spoke about bringing a unity at a training ground and a family fill and then winning which is Chelsea DNA So I think they've got a really good manager in charge and I think the players will definitely develop with their developed naturally they're good players, young players There has to be some patience in putting that together because I think that has to be clear and the owners have a big intention. So I think as things settle it may not be straight away but I think that there's a really positive future for the club and I was in it and it was tough but you know I know how quickly things can change if you get the strategy right. In terms of me I'm absolutely fine and I'd certainly appreciate the support I had from as I say majority a lot of fans that would contact me or be at Stanford Bridge and for anybody that was on the other side of that was like why?”

“That I don't see it as being one end all, but as I say, having been back there, it did re-light a fire. I left Chelsea in COVID as a manager. I didn't have any fans my last period. So I kind of walked out like a little bit through the back door in a sense. And this time it felt different. And that wasn't a great period. But it is still a huge club for me, so maybe.”

“Because those are the rules for all of us. You can be a success for a moment at Everton. Everyone goes, well done, you stand up and then your next job, what is it? And I have respect for so many big clubs that there are certain clubs I wouldn't manage. I'm not going to declare them because that just sounds like cheap. But I think it's important I respect my time at Chelsea's appliance and what the club means to me.”

“The way I know you It's funny, you know, like you talk about should you have taken that job. I reckon if you'd have asked me that before going back, I might have said no, as in not like I don't want to go back to Chelsea, but I would have certainly seen myself, no, no, like that chapter's done as a coach. But now I've been back, I would think about it even more. And it's strange. And I think, you know, the fact that the ownership has changed at Chelton, it's gone in a different direction. I think it can be a really positive thing for the club. I think people might not see that now, but I think it really can. But obviously, I have a lot to do to be part of that ever. But you have to make a clear decision. When we played 13 years for Chelsea, I said I never play anywhere else. I end up playing at Man City. Some people criticise me for that. It's fine. I didn't expect it, but Man City was an amazing experience. I went to New York City. It was an amazing experience. When you become a manager, you can't say I'm going to be Chelsea manager. I'm going to be this. You have to take the journey.”

“55, well, I'm here, so that's good at 55. I think my, you know, obviously the family to be well and healthy, you understand that more when you For me it was him probably faulty health and understanding. Maybe you check yourself more on those things and lifestyle and then to be hopefully have managed and had success coaching. That's what I want to do. I can't see what that looks like, but I would love to be able to show myself consistently in a job what I can do. I haven't had that opportunity yet for whether that was me or whatever the circumstance had been to do that. So I'm very determined to do it. I'm good like that. I'm determined that I like to work. Like anyone who knows me will know that regardless of what my career has been, if you put it in front of me, I'll tackle it head on. And then I'm always trying to improve. So hopefully in 10 years I can show you that.”

“They do. They do. I mean, I would prefer to stay in the UK for sure. And I don't mind. I went and lived in Everton for a year, lived in Derby for a year. I missed my family a lot, but you have to make those big decisions. We're fortunate in ways. But I'll see what comes up. It's hard to call before it comes.”

“Well, it's hard to say, but from my experience, I would want to make sure I would want to have conversations to find out what the job is. And I can't sit here, feel this way and talk to you about being aligned and they need to feel the way that I'll be the coach and they're going to do this and work together. and probably take another job where it doesn't feel aligned. You know, I shouldn't do that. So I'd want to have a conversation and be like, what can I do for you? I have to sell myself. Clearly, that's the point. But what will it work together and maybe get something that feels a bit like, and I don't mind, I'll work. In the UK, anywhere I would travel if an opportunity came up, I would certainly prioritise a bit of family to make sure that it's something that works for my family, ideally. I don't know. I don't know about that one.”

“You know, so I, we loved that. So I'll, you know, use the time to travel a bit, be with the family and my children, spend more time. My elder daughters are doing A-levels and GCSEs now and be around that. And that's nice. And sometimes, you know, I think that's good for me because I am so driven. It's like I felt like I should work, I should work. And actually, sometimes you actually, I'm 45 and I've done it right in my life. Maybe I don't need to work. And that's not a bad place to be. I'm fortunate. I have gratitude for that. So at the moment, it's the gratitude of that. Enjoy and then try and work again.”

“The things that make me happy, which is being around my family. I like to travel. It's like the one thing that I really like to spend my money on, but you know, when I travel, I want to go better than home. And if I don't go better than home, I'll stay at home. And I've got a nice house.”

“It's hard to know. A lot of people say to me, oh, you should get into punditry. It's easy. Put your feet up. And it's certainly, I get my. Enjoyment, I get my blood flow and is working and being a coach. So that's what I want to do. And I'm in no immediate rush to do it. The reality is off the back of Everton and Chelsea, it's probably time for me to take my time anyway because of what opportunity there might be out there. There may be no opportunity. There may be something that comes up that I want to look at and say, does that work for me on all purposes? Because I get your point with the Chelsea one. It's like, did you really need to take that? And the jobs I've taken have been quite challenging. And a lot are. I'm not saying I'm going to be given this like, there you go, this is going to be great. So I would try and choose well without sounding too picky because, you know, I want to work. And in the meantime,”

“I know. But it's good. I think I definitely want to come across as this, you know, like I said, like this get on with it thing. It's certainly not me. I look at myself as being, you know, the balanced gain of my mother was that one that she gave me that kind of empathy. I associate all the empathy with my mother that I had because that's how she was always with me. So when I, you know, it's just I also have a mechanism that kind of keeps it there. But it's definitely inside. And maybe children also help with that. Because when you see your child and their smiles and their sort of innocent nature and how they are, I think that also helps you become a little bit more emotional because you start to care about that more than pretty much anything else, which has also been a beautiful thing.”

“And do my job. And then these moments now sometimes are quite therapeutic, if I'm honest, but it's, you know, especially for other people that have gone through that and much worse. You know, a lot of worse things can happen in different ways. But until you feel that loss, you know, I actually remember thinking when I lost mom, it was like a couple of my friends lost their parents when they were younger. And I remember then thinking, I've never really broached that subject with them. You know, a couple of my friends are like 14 and lost. I met at school at that age who had already lost their parent or were in the process. And I never really kind of went. And they were like 14. I was 29. And I'd never even not thought about it. But you know, you kind of go, sorry, mate. And then you move on. You go, imagine what's, you know, all the things and I had to process at 29 is slightly different.”

And I didn't want to cry, I'm surprised I haven't but because I've cried probably enough at different times. But it's almost something like it is strangely therapeutic to speak about it. And this is very public. And that's not normally how I am. I'm very private. Our lives, Kristen, are very private. It's how we like to live.”

“Thank you. Do you know what I mean? Like thanks to for being the balance, for being the one. You know, in those tough moments when my dad was being harsh or something there for being the one that would, when I was crying in the bath after a game and coming and knocking on the door, it's like for making me food. You know, things a great mother does, she just was that. You know, my mum was there to sort of, it might be sound old school now, but she was a hairdresser by trade who then became a housewife and a mother. And, you know, for everything that's gone on in my family life and lots of things have, she was always the one that was like the real stand up one. I look back now, I understand it even more, like she had the ethics and everything about her. And then I would love to just be able to say that, you know, it's like those, you know, an emotional song can get you going. It's like, can I speak to her one more time to say, here's a monologue for you? You know, like just to hear it. With time, I definitely have got more strength in the fact that she knew that. And that's it.”

“Really strange. It was such a tough period for me that the only thing now when I see, you know, Christine's family are there and other people around me have friends and family. But I can't envisage ever going through that pain again about what I did because my mum was the only person being now Christine is obviously that person in my life and my children, of course. But in terms of what she meant to me at that time, the only thing that is like I can go that is so painful. I really couldn't go through that again now. It's a weird way of looking at it. And I hope that doesn't sound strange. It's just processing it was too difficult. And it's almost like a dream. My life was never supposed to be like that in my head. You know, my mum was 58. And I felt like she was quite old. And now I start doing the math. I'm 44. You know, like, and you kind of go, it wasn't old. You know, like I was 29 a month a little bit older at the point. Now it's like, she should be mid-70s now. And, you know, as I said, the sudden nature of it meant you couldn't speak to her as well, which was like, as I've got older, I've realized that my mum would have known exactly how I felt about her. But at the time, it was like, I want to say something more, you know, and couldn't.”

“It was a Chelsea game, so I wasn't playing it because of what had happened, but I was at home when I was driving to go and see my sister or something. Someone sort of drove across me and I got out of the car and I went for them. And it was a Chelsea fan. He went, Frank, calm down. I was like, sorry. And I had these moments of anger in the period afterwards which would just come out of me out of nowhere. And I wouldn't say that they've stuck with me from now, but it definitely changed me as a person. I don't know how to explain it, but it definitely made me have a different take on things and be a bit more, I don't know if Ruthless is the word, but more You know that thing about kind of like cutting out some people that are in your life that you maybe would have got on with I just kind of took a little bit more of a direct approach in my life after that amongst some serious moments of grief within it you know it's a tough time the only benefit it sounds really warped I said this to someone the other day the only benefit is that now you know I don't have to go through that again that sounds”

“Back that they To like sit and I don't know. I mean, I've been through the experience. That zombie thing I talk about is like I couldn't comprehend it. I felt empty and weak, but I had a job to do. And the job was so secondary. I certainly wasn't trying to be a hero. I just didn't know. I think if I'd have laid around all day, I would have really taken more of a hit. It was almost like getting up and going to work in that period and having something to aim for was just almost like that's what I should do. And then I definitely took the hit later on for that. I definitely took a kind of deferred moments of grief and I talk about them like I say there. It could be anything that would be a couple of glasses of wine and something said at a dinner table, a moment of someone else and I feel bad about this talking about their mother or something, you know, and they're talking glowingly about their mother and you kind of get hit or another parent's birthday like crazy things.”

“And I went home and sort of opened a beer and I couldn't even drink it. I went to bed and it was like, it's like everything came out of me then of like a week or two of full blast of this pain. You know, it's this complete pain. And then you lose your best friend and the person that, you know, I've still got a number in my phone and I've still got a couple of voice note things. We were never a big family for videos and stuff. And I wish we were. The only thing I have is my mum's sister is Sandra, Sandra Redna, Harry Rednapp's wife. And every time I speak to Sandra, I hear my mum. They look very similar. They sound very similar. And it's like in the first period, it was painful now. It's kind of nice, you know, because that's a memory for me. But the feeling of grief, you know, it catches up on me now and again many years later. I think I probably had a year. I was single. I was like probably drinking a little bit. I was playing fantastic football. I had a really good year of football. It was weird. And then I met Christine. And thank God.”

“And I lost, was my best friend, the person that had given me that kind of emotional stuff I'd spoken about, the warmth and the sudden feeling that someone's not going to be with you. Like it doesn't compare to anything when you're that close. So in terms of work after that, probably some of it, if I look back, I'll probably go, maybe I should have just come out of it. Like life is bigger than that. But it was like probably a tiny coping mechanism for me. We played a game against Liverpool the second leg and I scored a penalty. We won the game. Now we're getting sent to the Champions League final. And I remember sitting undressed room afterwards and I had this almighty sense of fatigue and body and mental fatigue.”

“Of the family would kind of get not excited about it, but it was like, that's progress. You know, mum's out, she'd been on every machine possible. And I'm still having to think about going into work. I can't remember if I trained in that period. I can't remember that week. That's like a blur. I just remember being at home a lot, you know, really, you know, in a bad way. And then we had Champions League games coming up against Liverpool. I played one away. I came back. Mum was getting a bit better. And then we got the phone call that she'd passed away. She had a brain hemorrhage. So just as she was getting better, everyone was excited. She passed away there and then. So it was like the biggest devastation that I can't explain. And as I say, years later, I realized that this happens to so many other people. And when you're a young man who hadn't really lost anyone, you don't have that real feeling of what that is. And I lost a person that was the closest person to me, you know, everything to me. And I'll never forget the fiddle in my stomach. If I talk about it, I get it instantly again.”

And I didn't know what to say because I didn't want to go, you know, I'm here because this is a really bad situation. And when I'm just here to see you, mum, you know, and then sort of put the mask back on. And then she was really, and then they kind of wheeled her in. She held my hand, which I'll never forget. And then she went in and was put into intensive care. So that was a one-week process of my mum in intensive care. So she started to get better. And then...”

“And then because it was twenty nine, as you say, and it was very sudden, I was in a hotel that we used to stay at pre-game. We were playing Wigan in the evening at home. I got a call from my sister telling me that she'd fell ill. And then I kind of went, okay, going to hospital. Okay, that's a bit dangerous. I went to sleep. I didn't sleep, supposedly would sleep. I was kind of laying there a bit like tossing and couldn't get off. I'm at Mangstee. I got another call. And as we get on the bus to go to Stanford Bridge, it's like two a mile. I get the call that no, no, she's getting much worse. So I'm like, right, I'm in Frank. I'm a sportsman. Go and do your job mode. And then I just kind of broke a bit on the coach. I felt myself go grey. And someone said to me, I said, you went gray, but I felt myself go like, woof.”

“Frank Lampard. That's probably what I meant when I said zombie because it became autopilot. And I think You talk about mental health, that's the one time that I've been challenged to the extreme with it. And a lot of people go through this. And the really interesting thing I found, because I have some perspective now these years later, is that when it happens to you, and it's unexpected, it's very sudden for me, you've never thought about that kind of thing happening before. The only thing I'll say is this. I was a mummy's boy, as I've said before. So I used to have these weird moments. I don't know whether you had them. I had them sometimes when I think about death and I kind of go, oh God, when you die,”

“Big boy, you know, but you know, maybe have a glass of wine stew on it, don't get to bed till quite late, and then you have to go again. You know, like that great sort of adage that people go, you learn more from defeat. You don't feel like that straight away, but you have to be big enough to go over the game again. What's the strategy now? What's the solution to that? What do we do wrong? And that's what it is. You can't get too down, but we're all human.”

“You probably see a bit of a face and a going over the situation kind of face. And it's different. I have certain games that will affect you. And it might not be the one you'd expect. The Manchester United, you talked about there we lost 4-1, was it? That one might be different because I kind of know where we're at. Season's petering out. You know, we played some good stuff. I don't know, whatever. And there might be another game that, you know, we lost and it really affected me because made me think something I did or should have done or a substitution. So on those bad ones, you would see the face. And, you know, I would, you know, I kind of go into Michelle. Like I'm soaking in my bedroom.”

“I found it harder as a player. I don't know whether it's just maturity because as a player, I don't know. Maybe it's in my 20s, I found it harder. As a manager, I think it's a different version of criticism. And I think as a player, I don't know why I found it harder.”

“That was in 2010. So 2006, I think I had like 32 shots or something. I went in as England player of the year. I'd had a good year or two playing for England. So I'd got myself in there and was becoming, you know. In fiction, the same. And then I went there having scored some goals in the lead up, scoring at Chelsea, and just had a tournament and it wouldn't go in for me. And then that played on my mining games. I was like second guessing myself a little bit in the game. And probably off the back of that, there's a lot of criticism for myself, for some others. I remember us Chelsea boys getting a lot of criticism for the next six months every week game that we went to was like you let your country down the song.”

“And that was the version of that. And then the social media, so I don't envy the modern player. As a manager, I think it's a bit different. I'm not in a place where I scroll through. I don't envy these younger players, men and women now, that are coming through and sort of household names and getting so much attention and so much of it's negative. I think it's incredible that we got to that stage, that there's that amount of hate for, it's so easy to be hateful And I would try and say to the young players, don't look at it, but the minute the game finishes, they're flicking and it's difficult.”

“Yeah, yes, and I would tap into it a bit in the week, whether I'm flicking on certain websites through the week. And I wouldn't obviously go in, as I say, into the story, into the comments. I will kind of go into because you've got to be across things. I would do that. But I think it's very unhealthy to scroll. Like I found that as a plan. My plank career missed out the social media. It came in towards the end. And I'm so thankful that we used to just have the newspapers giving us like three out of ten when we played for England and we got knocked out of the World Cup. And that was hard. We were like looking at the paper to see what they gave you.”

“But I don't actively do it because I don't have the time to do it in terms of myself. It's just not something I else wants to show themselves, some bathing or in a gym, that's their prerogative. I've got no problem with that. For me, it's just not something I do. And then that's a nice line. I'm quite a boxer in my life. When I say that, I mean, I box off things. And when I want to box off, I don't want to hear that what some fan and so-and-so is going to say about me here and flick on the comments from a Chelsea post. I would just flick by that. I try and stay aware of media because I think I do press conferences every four days. You have to understand what the tone is of what maybe people are writing about you or the journalists.”

“Which I'm not that I had an Instagram page, but I'm not very active on. It's just not really me. So I don't really, I scroll for like nosiness, you know, which I run up to and a few friends and stuff or whatever.”

“I think there's an understanding at the moment the club's not where it wants to be. And Chelsea fans are actually pretty good with that. There's some other clubs that would be like, we lost at home to Brentford 2-0 and like there'll be some clubs that would be fans that would be a bit more vocal. They were actually pretty good. I think, you know, they're waiting to see something better this year. But they've also, Chelsea fans watch the team in the second division in the 80s and seen some struggles over the years. You know, the older fans. And so I do think that the success that they've enjoyed as a club for these 20 years or so is a real appreciation of it. And, you know, they want to go on forever. But I do think they understand it's a difficult moment. I certainly felt that at Stanford Bridge.”

“Because I knew it would end and it ended, and it wasn't that nice at time to have holidays I'd planned before, yeah, for sure, and time to reflect. And I haven't got a huge amount of reflections on it. You know, a lot of people have, but I haven't. I've got more reflections on year at Everton and 18 months at Chelsea before in Derby. This period was so abstract in a way for me, that interim role was so different that I can't put it into a context of like, I wish I'd gone on a meeting on day one. If I'd have done a meeting about culture, I think it would have changed. It wouldn't have changed. If my tactics were slightly different in that game, I don't believe it would have changed. And me overthinker, I would definitely think that if it was there.”
