If I was Lampard I'd ask for another shirt. 3 guys before had the same shirt and got the sack.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He is going to win the CL , isn't he?
Politician aside, is there any job in the world that rewards failure like being a football manager?
I mean, we know what lampard does at chelsea. He fails hard enough to get sacked.

Getting rid of Potter now seems like a ridiculous idea when you dont have anyone else lined up except Lampard.
By Lampard's body language in that press conference it looks like he's already under pressure.
Madness.

Total confusing situation. They're not doing great but it's not like they getting thrashed every other game. They're 1 point away from the usual 40+ point safe zone. So unless permanent manager appointment is ready, it's more reasonable to write this season off.
Do Boehly think he can pull a CL final off with Lampard? I know they'd done it twice (seconds away for another with Hiddink first interim tenure, too) under Abramovich. But Lampard is a damaged good for Chelsea as well as this season with Everton. Just can't organize a defense which is usually the way to weather the storm and get results short term in CL.
Shouldn’t the thread title contain “sack watch” in it. This is Chelsea we are talking about here
Fingers crossed.
He's getting sacked end of the season
Squires must be loving this Boehly and the other dude who said Chelsea wasn't managed that well before they arrived, they are a real dynamic duo aren't they? Dumb and Dumber on roids.

Todd Boehly ladies and gentlemen.
Their fixture list is super tough.
Lampard is not known for his ability to build a solid defense. He can easily get sacked if they get battered by couple of the teams they face.
This is just a caretaker's position.
Chelsea were never going to finish in the top four and are certainly not going to win the Champions League this term. Who better to pacify the fan base in the short-term?
If the owners want to be absolutely sure about the next manager before signing him, then this makes a lot of sense to me. If Lampard is among those being considered for a long-term position, then I will be convinced that Boehly et al have no clue about football.

Didn't need to sack Potter if they decide to write the season off. Having to pay extra for Lampard appointment with little/zero upside.
As disappointing as Potter, reading from all the Chelsea related threads, it's not like Chelsea fan wanted him go before this season end at all cost if not for a permanent appointment.

If he gets past Real who have been totally rampant in recent games then we can start to believe...
Get down to the bookies then and get rich before they clock on.Expecting chelsea to get relegated now. Frank lampard jesus
Hard to tell on the basis he didn't make the call.
This is gonna be fun. How long before the grumpy interviews, throwing the players under the bus for poor performances? Before the end of the month, surely?
Whether you rate him or not (and most people don't) Solksjaer must be wondering how the feck he hasn't had an offer from a decent team yet when this clown somehow keeps getting PL gigs.
Expecting John Hollins to be appointed full time manager in the summer.
Zambia wanted too much for Avram?
Only if the RM players can't stop laughing when they see Lampard in the Chelsea dugout.
Does it matter? He is the owner so responsible for the structure, putting competent people in charge, etc. It’s Glazers‘ fault after all that they relied on Woodward for example.
What a freaking circus chelsea is. Get Boehly a red nose.
Is he an English national legend who helped the team reach many quarterfinals on major forums ? Is he feck.
You do realise that Boehly is just synonymous with those feckups in charge of Chelsea? People just use the terms interchangeably, and Boehly’s an effective shorthand. It’s not people getting confused about the details, it’s about people not caring about that level of detail.All reports are saying he had nothing to do with this decision.
Is quite amusing seeing just how many people aren't paying attention
How does a failed Aston Villa manager (and the replacement is clearly better) get a caretaker position and a bigger club? 
At least he didn't get appointed just before facing us. Hopefully any good feel factor he might have, is gone by then.
Super Frank Lampard is back at the bridge.
No matter what will be next, I will try to enjoy it.

I’d rather we did play them straight after his appointment… would have battered them while they still get use to any tactics/changes lampard wants to make. When we face them they could get into some kind of form.
You’re mixing your English legends up.How does a failed Aston Villa manager (and the replacement is clearly better) get a caretaker position and a bigger club?
He was hopeless in Europe the last time Bayern cruised to a 3:0 win at Stamford Bridge.
He's not our owner, Clearlake are.
It's been pretty well reported that since the January transfer window that Eghbali has been taking the lead. There was even an announcement that Boehly was stepping down from his role he had at the beginning.
At absolute most he's a second in command to the former at this moment in time.
Yes he’s just the figure that became the face of the ownership group. You’re attributing a level of specificity to the comments that doesn’t actually exist. They’re not getting mixed up, they don’t care.
Just grit your teeth and smile.
Again who cares? Swap it to whoever the owner is/are. Whoever decided to get rid off Tuchel, then hire Potter, then get rid and now hire Lampard. Even if the owner is fine with the tea lady making the decision it doesn’t change anything. The decisions being made are ridiculous and equally damaging regardless of what the person‘s name or position is.
I can’t help but feel like if you gave Potter 3/4 seasons he would build Chelsea into an excellent team. Instead they sack him after 2 minutes and reappoint Lampard. Mental. If we sack ETH and bring back Ole I’ll stop supporting us. Even if we are in the bottom three
