Tuchel to Lampard is obviously very funny but I do think this sort of makes sense, in a weird way. It gives Enrique/Nagelsmann a clean slate and you'd imagine Lampard will command the respect of the players much quicker than any interim could.
Hopefully they get him. Then we can all have a good old chuckle when they get a new manager bounce, give him the job and watch him quickly bomb (again).
Some of them got him fired the last time he was around.
Sorry, but why would he command the respect of the players, some of whom have already lived through his failure cycle once? Because of all he achieved at Everton?
It’s quite funny how loads of our managers have failed/done an alright job and then moved to an arguably more prestigious one. Martinez got the Belgium job, Koeman got the Netherlands and the Barca job, Ancelotti to Madrid (I’m being very harsh here), Lampard to Chelsea again.I like Lampard but a lot of what has come out after he’s left has surprised me in terms of his management. I can’t imagine he would do much better than Potter.
Yeah I’m not sure about that either.
Everton players have suggested Dyche is more disciplined than Frank and he was more of a friend.
Not sure that’s what this bloated Chelsea squad needs, especially given the shit that was allegedly being said behind Potters back.
Last 8 of CL with a billion worth of squad and you give the job to... Frank Lampard again. Enzo and company must be delighted. Especially considering they won't have any CL in the near future.
They aren't signing him up to a 5 year deal. It's 2 months of football for a season that is effectively a write off, with a free hit at Madrid. What other move could they have made at this point?
Kept Potter?
TBF if there is any club with a history of unfancied interim managers leading to CL success, it is Chelsea
Someone who hasn't already proved he's not really competent leading Chelsea? Someone who can organise a back four? Even if it's just for two months?
It sounded like he basically wanted out himself? Sure I read on the Athletic that he agreed it was best to part ways. Wasn't up to it.
Yeh like who?
Seriously? You think Frank Lampard is pretty much the only option available?
Why would anything at Everton matter to this Chelsea squad?
He remains likeable and respected by most of their players (Jorginho was the exception and he's been bounced). He knows the setup of the club. Plus he (collective Caf amnesia) actually had a good season and some with Chelsea so he is able to produce if everything lines up.
Plus he's only an interim until the end of the season.
Can see someone selling this narrative to Boehly as well.
Name some competent caretaker manager candidates. Given that Nagelsmann and Enrique are out of the running until a new season commences.
Do you think there's a plethora of available caretaker managers that are clamouring for 2 months at a completely out of control Chelsea? Why do you think we ended up with Rangnick? The options are usually bottom of the barrel.
My two managers after Potter prediction could still come true! Legend and all included
Frank's back... what are odds on Chelsea to get relegated out of interest?
Another one for the ‘one normal day following Chelsea is all I ask’ scrapbook.
Will be a strange feeling for Chelsea fans, wanting him to do well but not so well that he actually gets the job permanently.
Lampard going back to Chelsea Someone must be on a wind up.
Someone must be on a wind up.Lampard fecking hell
Embarrassing for Frank to take a job for a few months
Lampard does well at Chelsea, Chelsea sign him permantely, miss out on Luis Enrique and Naglesmann, Chelsea fire Lampard 14 games into next season
The fact Ole hasn’t taken a job since can only mean he’s turned stuff down - surely, you’d think he’s had offers. He took us to third, second and a Europa league final, yet hasn’t been heard from since while Frank Lampard is walking into PL jobs without trying.
That's their Ole moment. I hope they go on a run and extend his contract.
I don't want Enrique to be in the PL.
I don't want Enrique to be in the PL.
Chelsea new owners are already on their 3rd manager, that manager is Lampard. Sacked by Chelsea, sacked by Everton but Chelsea let him back? They also now have to find a manager that fits into the philosophy all their new players were brought under right?? As I said, the new Chelsea owners have more money than sense.
Short of them winning the CL with Lampard he'll be moved on end of the season with many thanks.
And if you guaranteed Chelsea a CL this season in exchange for signing Lampard to a full time contract after the trophy was won, they'd bite your hand off. There are more managers than Enrique/Nagelsmann
Love how Romano had no clue about this appointment and kept tweeting about Enrique and Naggelsman and 3 minutes after Ornstein posts about Lampard, he suddenly decides he knew about Lampard as well.

You're optimistic, I'll give you that.
My point exactly.
That has been obvious from the beginning. He didn't do as bad of a job as the Caf would have you believe. Also, there are no club chairman on the Caf. Obviously he'd be managing today if he wanted to. Moyes is the closest analog.
The CL QF will be a battle between the two ex-Everton managers.
Facts about football that shouldn't be true, but are
Let's hope he goes on a massive unbeaten run and they appoint him full time again
