One day maybe Frank will manage Chelsea, I dont doubt that will happen at some point in the future.But I just hope when that does happen he can pick up Chelsea at a time where he can go on to be successful.Right now we want to keep him.Weve got two years left on his contract and would obviously love to retain Franks services, and Ive had no indication thats not going to be the case.
