'It’s his problem. Is that the headline you wanted?': Lampard delivers tongue-in-cheek Pochettino message

"I don’t know, it’s a good headline but I don’t know," Frank Lampard told a press conference when asked whether the Chelsea job is the most challenging it's been in recent years.

"It remains to be seen, but I can’t jump into the future. I think it’s a fantastic job because it's the Chelsea job.

"When I took it, the first time I came, I probably got the job because a lot of top managers didn’t want the job.

"I know that for a fact, it was a big part of it, but I enjoy the process and I enjoy coming in."

The caretaker manager was then asked if he had any message for the new boss, most likely to be Mauricio Pochettino.

He delivered an apparent tongue-in-cheek response to make the reporters laugh: "I wish the new manager well. It’s his problem, I guess. Is that the headline you wanted?"

It's been claimed that Lampard is prepared to inform Pochettino about his thoughts on the squad, so we can safely say that the real message to the Argentinian will not be made public soon.
