What on earth made you think that? This was so predictable.
Figured his complete lack of tactical nous would matter less at Chelsea, and like a few otherwise naff caretaker managers before him, he could nick a couple of results by being a half decent man manager, mollifying a few egos, and letting them play with a bit more freedom.

But nah, he's just actually that cack. :lol:

By the end of the year, he will have at his CV that he saved both Everton and Chelsea from relegation.

Is it me or have Chelsea been mid table for like forever. They never seem to move up nor down despite so many losses.
It would be odd if they moved up with so many losses.

But Frank knows the club, knows the heritage. All those years in the second tier weren’t lost on him.

I am genuinely interested to check out a Chelsea forum to see if there are some fans defending Lampard purely because he’s an esteemed player for them and turn a blind eye to previous managerial record, akin to fans on here who defended Solskjaer and his inadequacies like their lives depended on it.

People understand now why Roman was hands on. Who ever thought Lampard was a great idea should be fired. The new owners need to learn fast that most club people can’t be trusted and their opinion means f-all, apart from leaks and using others a shield they know zilch.
It’s busted already, club legends don’t make good managers because your decisions and that of stakeholders are based on emotions. To be a top manager all decisions should be rational and ruthless in order to achieve excellence. When you get to the top by being favoured, how will you ever understand any other way of getting there and that is what makes top managers. They know all the ways that leads to the top. Frank does not and has always been the favoured child, this we are still seeing in the jobs he is landing.

What's the opposite of caretaker? Abuser? John Terry?

Roman hired Lampard as well!

Keeping his 100% record going...impressive.

Obviously not as bad as Ole, he was a laughing stock apparently...Frank is doing far better!

It just doesn't make any sense how he is doing so bad...doesn't he have a IQ of like 180?
He once took a test and got 150+ (so the story goes). He never did it again. Most of the questions are multiple choice so in a single test it’s perfectly possible to score much higher than your “true” score. Which is probably what happened but the more pertinent point is the tests only measure how good you are at doing the tests, not how “clever” you are. Loads people are good at tests but do dumb shit all over the place.

Christ, I've just seen their remaining fixtures. If they had four or five less points I'd put money on them to go down.

Frank has lost 24 Premier league games since Feb last year. No manager has lost more.

I’ve been jokingly saying our next win might come next season but seriously it might actually be next season at this rate.
