In today’s episode, we’re back in London - just down the road from Fulham Broadway Tube Station at Stamford Bridge. Under Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have had an up-and-down few years. As far as the present season is concerned, it’s something of a down year. Despite Europa League success with Maurizio Sarri last season, a two-window transfer ban from FIFA for malpractice signing foreign under-18 players as well as Sarri’s return to Italy has left fans and pundits alike unsure of how successful a campaign they will have this time around. If there is a silver lining, it is somewhat tarnished: club legend Frank Lampard here to oversee an influx of youngsters off the back of a curious debut season at Derby County. Will Lampard save the day as he has done so often in the past? Or is there a danger that Chelsea could drop out of the top six if things don’t go their way? Joining us on the podcast today is one of the biggest personalities in the football media: Amadí Thiam. Amadí is currently lead editor at Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing having previously been community manager for COPA90 US, social media manager for The Athletic Soccer, a feature writer for U.S. Soccer’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and an editorial assistant for Howler Magazine, among others.
