So you do own Chelsea pyjamas? That’s like the least surprising revelation this yearI use them to wipe my arse with more like...fnar fnar
They're closer to the drop zone than 5th place.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.
Hopefully 39 points is enough to stay up because I can see us getting pretty much zero more.
Playing City, Arsenal, Utd away still to go...
Benzema scores a hattrick every match seemingly, next.
More ridiculously, we played well against Villa and Liverpool. Didn't even get above 1 xG today.

I’m not sure chelsea are bothered about doing things on the cheap when they’ve already thrown away a large chunk of £600m.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.
That’s not surprising considering we have scored 0 in the last 3 games. We now also have more losses than wins. Shambles of a season.Just saw this
Chelsea have played in more games (30) than they’ve scored goals (29).
Southampton was the same as Villa and Liverpool, no one to convert chances.I had previously thought the loss against Southampton was the worst performance of the season. This one today was much worse.
I’m sure you could have found someone better as interim manager? I just don’t see the fit.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?
Potter would have done just fine taking the full force of it. Players didn't exactly have respect for Potter to begin with and questioned him once the appointment was made. Lampard is a clown and just keeps failing forward because he can. He's so oblivious to it all. It's like he welcomed going back into a relationship that has failed 3 times and the partner repeatedly laughed and mocked him yet he goes back. Absolutely shameless moron manager.Well this is why hiring Lampard as caretaker was a good thing.

I disagree. I think we should have kept Potter but once the decision was made to fire him, getting Lampard in to manage the final 45 days or so was sensible. He’ll see the season in a way we probably would have done anyway had we kept Potter so he’s just a placeholder to keep the fans happy until the find a permanent manager.I’m sure you could have found someone better as interim manager? I just don’t see the fit.
It would seem you need someone who isn’t going to take shit and get a grip of things. Lampard isn’t that guy and has already been publicly mugged by some of the same players following his last stint. It’s a mind boggling appointment.
So you really don’t see any better option in World football for a club like Chelsea but to get Lampard back? I’m pretty surprised tbh.I disagree.

Why is this better than Potter?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.

Who was willing to come in for 8 weeks as a temp on a days notice? I can't think of any.So you really don’t see any better option in World football for a club like Chelsea but to get Lampard back? I’m pretty surprised tbh.
They can talk to prospective new managers. Something they couldn't do with Potter still in place.Why is this better than Potter?
A caretaker who has the added benefit of getting the fans back onside? No I don’t, but even if I did, I don’t think there’s any manager out there who could be a better caretaker who would somehow save the season, and if saving the season is off the table, then does it matter who the caretaker is?So you really don’t see any better option in World football for a club like Chelsea but to get Lampard back?

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.
How does it change what I said?They're closer to the drop zone than 5th place.
I agree that once Potter is deemed surplus you have to let him go. But today was the worst performance of the season. Why can't Lampard just rudder the ship. No, instead straight in and changed to a 433 and the team looked lost.I disagree. I think we should have kept Potter but once the decision was made to fire him, getting Lampard in to manage the final 45 days or so was sensible.

You are available, willing and better than Lampard.Who was willing to come in for 8 weeks as a temp on a days notice? I can't think of any.
This season was over before todays result. We could chuck £50 million quid at Alex Ferguson to come in for a few weeks and we'd probably only finish 8th instead of 10th.
Getting a temp in lets the club take their time picking the new manager, something they couldn't really do with Potter still in place.
I'd cost way more than Lampard and wouldn't come in on a temp basis.You are available, willing and better than Lampard.

To me it’s just an easy option and again highlights there’s zero plan in place.A caretaker who has the added benefit of getting the fans back onside? No I don’t, but even if I did, I don’t think there’s any manager out there who could be a better caretaker who would somehow save the season, and if saving the season is off the table, then does it matter who the caretaker is?
Depends on your definition of ‘saving the season’, surely?A caretaker who has the added benefit of getting the fans back onside? No I don’t, but even if I did, I don’t think there’s any manager out there who could be a better caretaker who would somehow save the season, and if saving the season is off the table, then does it matter who the caretaker is?
