Yes, after a respectable first management job that could lead you to believe there is potential. Lampard did well with a group of youngsters initially (which he had due to the transfer ban) and then was fired when it was clear that he isn't taking the team any further. So I would say at the time he was hired by Roman it was a reasonable experiment, but I am 100% sure Roman wouldn't sign him again if he still was in charge now.

Bringing frank in was a masterful decision. Sets the bar so low for poch that he'll get at least five games to bed in before things get ugly. Boehly is a genius.
I'm sure i read somewhere that a lot of the squad he had didn't like him when he was in his first managerial spell with Chelsea. Not sure how many of those players are at Chelsea still but if they are I guess they can't have been too happy to see him back again. Dreadful appointment.
If you're lucky.
Oh my they didnt score again. wow.
Frank's not a good manager but the players are likewise pathetic.

We only play them in the last week of the season, so he's still got a while to go before he's sacked /Poch is hired with 2 games left
Candidate for worst interim manager ever ?
Chelsea should be so happy for those 6 wins they got in the first 9 matches - because that good start is what separates them from a relegation spot.
Emirates next I think?
Lampard est in horto.
Easiest 3 points in the league at the minute.
How lucky is he that he took over, what, probably 2 games short of genuinely getting them relegated?
Our game against them can't come soon enough. feck it, move it to tomorrow directly after the Spurs game.
At this point…
It’s not even funny anymore.
They've got Arsenal, City and United all away in their next five games. Bournemouth away won't be simple for them either. Forest at home is a difficult one to call.
It was definitely not a happy camp before he left and I recall he had frozen out some of the players although most of those are no longer there. He does seem the sort to lose the dressing room though because his post match comments are usually him taking all the credit when they win or chucking the players under the bus when they lose.
Is he smart enough to thank Lord Sug… erm… Lord Todd for the opportunity and resign tonight?
Yes it is
We’ll end up playing Tuchel and Poch teams and have completely missed the Potter/Lampard free points giveaways.
Best idea I've read. Just play the bench and some kids. We should be fine. We can even play at Stamford Bridge.
He is also fired him when he realised it was a falsehood.
Just let me enjoy my rant please.
Yeah that’s right. Was supposed to ignore a lot of them, and that was when they didn’t have a squad of 120 players. I’m hoping that by the time summer comes, Lampard has fecked it up so bad that there’s some irreparable damage.
It's like that father Ted episode
'How did you get into the priesthood Dougal, was it collect 12 crisp packets and become a priest?'

Possibly. Might they have to sack him?

Exactly. Who promotes these posters?
Genius move to think of it. Lampard will do so bad that it will convince fans that Poch is a good managerial signing
Veni, Vidi, Perdidi Brentford.
Wouldn't surprise me if Franks first point/points will come against Arsenal.
Made 0 sense when it happened. The overrating of club legends as managers needs to stop. He's a shite manager regardless of how well he knows the club.
Anything that's happening now and for the rest of the season is irrelevant really isn't it. The league season has been over for months since they'd probably rather have no European football at all next season, similar to when Conte won the league.
The players aren't arsed, there's nothing to play for. We've seen similar scenario when they finished 10th under Mourinho/Hiddink and United under Ralf last season where the players couldn't care less.

Frank's last 19 games:
1 win
2 draws
16 losses
1 win
2 draws
16 losses
Was a no brainer of appointment according to his cousin Jamie Redknapp.
The decision definitely required no brain.
They’ll obviously stay up but there should be uproar over their league position relative to how much money they’ve spent in just two transfer windows.
The point is not about appointing a dummy interim manager when there is nobody to take care of the team. The question is why sacking Potter when it's pretty much the same scenario playing out regardless.
My guesss is it is similar move Levy just did by reinstating Ryan Mason the second time. To have a someone associated with the club to shield the higher up from fan, while achieving nothing. With Potter and Stellini, they may not be doing well, but at least they have put their reputation forward and trying to work. Where as Lampard and Ryan Mason didn't do well previously, and now just randomly given a free go without expectation.

I can't wait till Gerrard gets the Liverpool job
Is he the worst Premier League manager ever? His record is abysmal. I am sure there have been short-term appointments worse than him but Frank has had loads of time in both Premier League jobs and now in his third is at a club he is very familiar with. Each time it has been a disaster.
