Hope Lampard goes on to rub their noses in it. would be shocked if Lampard gets a club as big as Chelsea again. He will probably get one more crack at a midtable club before he disappears into punditry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Fun Factory Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) People keep saying why do managers keep accepting the Chelsea job? 1- They will get paid millions and work with top quality players 2- They will probably live in a nice part of west London 3-When after 18 months to 2 years they get sacked, they will get a massive playoff and sympathy from the footballing world that they were not given the proper time to rectify a bad run 4- Wait 6 months to a year and then get another massively well paid job. Rinse and repeat. Lampard was out of his depth and was only given the job given his legendary playing career at the club and at the time they were under a transfer ban so they couldn't get a top line manager. He was basically a glorified caretaker for a bit. Edited January 25, 2021 by The Fun Factory 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 3 hours ago, villalad21 said: Abraham is a 30-40 million signing. You don't spend that type of money because Watkins may pick up an injury. Pretty sure Tammy wouldn't accept playing second string either. This signing simply will not happen. Nor should it. You do if you have serious ambitions to regularly break into the top 6 party. Playing in Europe and hoping for a decent cup run or two results in about 15-20 more games than our current workload. You can't just rely on one quality striker. I am really pleased that Watkins has settled in and is doing well but you have to beef up the squad if you want to continue to improve. Come the summer if there is any chance to sign Tammy for a reasonable fee of less than 40 mil I would take it in a heartbeat. Would add something different to the team.

villan-scott Posted January 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2021 The good thing for Lampard here is that he still has the love and respect of the fans. Nobody wanted to see him gone as far as I can see. He remains a Chelsea legend. He can now rest up and get another managerial job a few months down the line. He will easily land another job on the Premier League or the Championship definitely. Not that I see him dropping a division again. I can see Tuchel falling flat on his arse at Chelsea.

useless Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 At the start of the season people were talking about Chelsea as title challengers, and certainly there was a feeling that they had to improve on the last few seasons after the money they spent in the summer. They're currently nineth in the table, below the likes of Us, West Ham and Everton, doesn't really surprise me at all that they've sacked him, in fact I was half expecting them to do it after last season. Sarri did better, and was treated worse, but can't recall any massive outpouring of sympathy for him when he was fired. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Pretty cutthroat stuff from RA. Club legend, very new to management, you'd think they'd give him at least two full seasons. Frank will likely feel somewhat betrayed. He should have stayed with Derby or gone to another lower division club to better cut his teeth before making the jump to the Prem. John Terry is doing it the smart way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted January 25, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2021 Can't believe he's getting sympathy. They've gone out and bought a bunch of players they didn't need, in positions they had already had quality in and they've been mostly crap all year. Unbelievable job Frank 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Lol. Nice guy, completely out of his depth. Should have been an assistant manager for a few years before the big job. Wasnt ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 He didn't do that great of a job at Derby, finished sixth, the same position and with less points than Rowett did the season before, and Rowett didn't have the likes of Harry Wilson, Tomori, or Mason Mount available. I think Chelsea are the only premier league side that would have even considered giving him a job at that point, but now he's had that experience he might get another chance, but doubt it will be with one of the top teams, might end up somewhere like Brighton or Newcastle, or maybe even England manager.
