it's a mute point
He genuinely might not be their manager by the time we face them at this rate.
It'll be just our luck that he'll get sacked before we play them.What a line up he had yesterday. Should never manage again after that
The decision definitely required no brain.
I understand where you're coming from. Pride alone should dictate that this Chelsea squad is capable of getting a point or two against Wolves, Brentford and Brighton no matter the tactics, personnel etc.Is it even possible for a manager to be inept enough that he, on his own, causes the team to lose to vastly inferior (in principle) opponents just about every time? I mean, it's clear that Frank is not doing well there, but to what extent can one suppose it's possible that the manager is causing something like this to happen? It seems silly almost. Their results are far, far below what you'd think a team like that would achieve even if they had no manager at all and just went out there to do as they saw fit. Can Frank be so bad at the job that he's literally the reason they're losing? Or is that club just falling apart at the seams?
Benitez selling Digne + Rodriguez, losing Gylfi due to unforeseen circumstances, DCL getting injured constantly and Richy leaving this summer happened. Lose all your goalscorers and creators for various reasons and shit happens.Carlo Ancelotti had Everton mid-table. One wave of Frank’s magic wand and they’re off to the championship. Everton fans must be wondering what the feck happened.
It is as far as Boehly & Co are concernedNormally when a ex player is in charge of a club, it's a morale boost and exciting. I mean look at our burst of form under Ole
Problem is it's not his first stint. Half of these players know first-hand how shit he is and it's spread across the whole squad.
Probably why bad attitudes, self entitlement and lack of accountability is so rife in the sport. There are no financial consequences as everyone continues to be paid their fortunes regardless. We've seen it plenty at United over the past decadeFootballs incredible isn’t it??
How throwing money away is just the norm, how much did they pay Brighton to release Potter? £20 million? How much have they had to pay Potter off for sacking him? £10-£15 million? All within just several months, and now reportedly paying Frank £70k a week to be interim….for what? He’s literally being paid a lottery to fail!
It’s not just Chelsea obviously but my god if you make it into that football bubble, money just falls through to everyone for pretty much doing nothing!!! Or failing miserably
this view plus this horrific spell being written off as Boely’s fault will see him get a final Prem job, and a final opportunity to prove he’s better than Frank de BoerBenitez selling Digne + Rodriguez, losing Gylfi due to unforeseen circumstances, DCL getting injured constantly and Richy leaving this summer happened.

Perfectsay what you will about frank, he's brought some badly needed consistency to the team.
I’m not daft enough to think Lampard hasn’t contributed to anything at Everton and how bad we have been this year, despite my defence of him, but it’s quite clear the problems of Chelsea and Everton are far more and beyond Frank Lampard.this view plus this horrific spell being written off as Boely’s fault will see him get a final Prem job, and a final opportunity to prove he’s better than Frank de Boer
There's no defence of Lampard, he took the jobs on and failed in spectacular fashion each time.I’m not daft enough to think Lampard hasn’t contributed to anything at Everton and how bad we have been this year, despite my defence of him, but it’s quite clear the problems of Chelsea and Everton are far more and beyond Frank Lampard.
He's not responsible for all of the problems at those clubs but what manager ever is responsible for all of the failings at a club? Look at the line-up he put out last night. Home to Brentford and he's playing not to lose. He's a coward who doesn't belong anywhere near this level.I’m not daft enough to think Lampard hasn’t contributed to anything at Everton and how bad we have been this year, despite my defence of him, but it’s quite clear the problems of Chelsea and Everton are far more and beyond Frank Lampard.
This Chelsea stint and his Everton tenure since c. those two Bournemouth games are inexcuseable.There's no defence of Lampard, he took the jobs on and failed in spectacular fashion each time.
He's too cautious and over thinks it making it overly complicated.
- I’d rather keep Frank.Tweet

What on earth is the point? That is just making changes for the sake of making changes. Shouldn't have sacked Potter at all but we've made our bed. Now we get to lie in it. This is what all those Chelsea fans who wanted Potter sacked deserve anyway.He should resign.
Silva as player manager has more chance of getting any points from the remaining games.
If he wants the job.
- I’d rather keep Frank.
- I mean Pochettino is different level to Lampard, isn’t he?
- Yeah he’s been there and done it, innit. I think he’ll do well.
Reminds me of the character in the Fast Show who constantly changed his opinion to please the people he chatted with.
Indecisive Dave it was.
Nah the problem wasn't sacking Potter, he was a clown. The problem is fecking up the interim manager. Lampard was an awful choice.What on earth is the point?

I genuinely think there's a chance we'll go down and we need at least 3 more points. Which we won't get with Lampard.What on earth is the point?

I disagree but we’ve established that months ago.Nah the problem wasn't sacking Potter, he was a clown. The problem is fecking up the interim manager. Lampard was an awful choice.
I disagree with that but say you’re right about the dangers of relegation, on what basis is Thiago Silva more likely to get a tune of a squad of players that genuinely look like they have mentally checked out of the season? What if he loses his first 4 games? Then what? Sack him too for Azpi for the final 3 games?I genuinely think there's a chance we'll go down and we need at least 3 more points. Which we won't get with Lampard.
Murphy's law and all that, given how the season has gone so far.
If he had any self respect he wouldn’t have taken the job in the first place. No way he walks. The guy is deluded.Surely he'll walk after this?? This is beyond embarrassing now!
