Super frank Lampard! :lol:

I’m actually worried Lampard might get sacked before the end of the season too!

Probably the worst I've seen Chelsea play this season :lol:
Fair play to you for even bothering to watch!

I’ve been watching Brighton dominate spurs in their own ground at the same time as Newcastle eating multiple jars of Jam against Brentford.

New manager bounce.... they've never actually any tactical impact, it's just happens. Says it all about where the players are with this appointment, they don't give a feck. Horrific decision.

Why he actually continues to take these no win situation jobs on I'll never know either.

So, why not stick with Potter until the end of the season then?
My best guess is that Potter might have had some clause in his contract whereby they could sack him for a heavily reduced payoff if certain performance objectives aren't met. They might have been able to bin him off on the cheap with him sitting in the bottom half for example, but it could have cost them a lot more if he sneaked his way into 8th or something by the end of the season.

If that's the case what they've done makes some sense, but it's still funny to see fat tory Frank squirm on the touchline while another one of his teams get stuffed.

3 different managers for each of the last 3 games, 0 goals scored. Wonderful stuff.

So, if a load of stuff you just made up were true, then it would make sense.

Chelsea are a complete shambles. It's a shoddy, shitty little club so they can go feck themselves. Gives us something else to laugh at though.

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...

Well, it's been reported that Potter was given a reduced payoff vs the huge sum he would have been due based on the long contract they gave him.

There must be a contractual reason they've been able to do that, I don't see why he'd have agreed to get sacked on the cheap out of the goodness of his heart.

You’re not wrong but you have to keep in mind who you’re talking to. You’re trying to reason with the wrong poster.

Some bounce that. Who cares about points when you have good vibes back anyway.

Also, if things get really ugly they can always bring Potter as interim.

In all the managers in the world they had to go back to Lampard :lol:
Right. This is the same guy that Kovacic, Pulisic and Kepa (at the very least) publicly dissed in the media when he was fired the first time. But hey apparently he was better than keeping a manager with a better record than him and more talent.

It's astonishing how a manager who has a proven track record of failing at multiple clubs, including this one, isn't actually hitting the ground running.

Honestly Boehly is one of the biggest clowns in football at the moment, he might get it right eventually but boy is he clueless.

I wonder how he must feel. Why would you do this to yourself? You once got sacked and now returns to this club and squad that are in far worse state than when he got sacked.

It’s unfortunate that the teams at the bottom are so wank that even if Chelshit lose all of their remaining games, they can’t get relegated.

Well this is why hiring Lampard as caretaker was a good thing. Let a guy who credit and lots of goodwill in the bank steer this shitshow of a season to an end and then allow the new manager to take over clean and fresh for the new season.

Why would any manager want to have the stench of this season as part of their overall record?
