That's the problem, he's not new. He's like David Brent returning to the office and everyone is that much excited.How hopeless do you have to be to not even get a new manager bounce?
At least we had some blistering runs of form with Ole as caretaker manager, it only went to shit when he got made permanent.The season they're having this year makes our last season under Ole and Ralf looks like an absolute masterpiece.
Or he's a terrible manager.He’s made really bad career choices.
How are you amazed? Richard Keys is a mug.Still bitter at being sacked by Sky.I'm amazed someone is capable of having this kind of opinion after Lampard already had one stint at Chelsea and failed + got sacked at Everton 3 months ago. Though I'd have nothing against Chelsea's board listening to the man.
Come on he just posted a tweet.WUM. And a bellend.
Indeed. Just look at the results.Re-appointing someone you've sacked for failing, as some sort of safe pair of hands is just plain daft.
might be but I’d like to see him try to go to a club that isn’t in a terrible situation to see what he’s got. Everton and Chelsea II were bad career moves.Or he's a terrible manager.
I know that this seems to be a hill you've decided to die on for some reason since his Everton days, but he's just very clearly a limited manager.might be but I’d like to see him try to go to a club that isn’t in a terrible situation to see what he’s got.

They won't fire him. It'd make them look more daft, and there's pretty much nothing to play for. They're 11 points from top 6, and practically out of the CL, a new manager won't change anything.It would be funny if they have to fire the Caretaker manager aswell.
And if not, they have fired Tuchel and Potter but have allowed Lampard to continue with these performances even that is funny.
That should have applied to keeping Potter until the end of the season, but somehow they did the unexplainable. Just a few games, and it looks like Lampard is very capable of doing even a worse job than Potter, with tougher opponents who still have thing to play for, waiting for Chelsea.They won't fire him.

I think if you're looking for a caretaker role, it makes more sense to go for someone old and experienced, since no manager on their peak would accept the role anyway, older managers who can steer the ship make way more sense that hiring someone based on their connection to the club.
I was in the minority that had the foresight to see this was going to happen and advocated for Potter to remain until the end of the season. I repeated myself many times that nothing should have been done without an extensive review into this seasons failings and a clear agreement going forward on how to rectify the problems. I was shot down by multiple Chelsea posters and a lot of other posters on here saying Potter simply needed to go. Now all the Chelsea posters have disappeared, isn’t that ironic. Well now they reap what they sow, it’s a fecking grade A shitshow.That should have applied to keeping Potter until the end of the season, but somehow they did the unexplainable.

If they continue to get battered and the scoreline reflect that, the higher up would be put in the spotlight just like us last season, that something I believe they mistakenly thought bringing a club legend like Lampard would have helped avoiding.
I don’t follow English football journalists that closely so don’t know much about him.How are you amazed? Richard Keys is a mug.Still bitter at being sacked by Sky.
It should be clear as day that any Mourinho disciples are useless in modern football. It's like Rooney and Ole basing their whole managerial style on Fergie, calling themselves man managers when teapots have more charisma.Chelsea have done West Ham a massive favour by re-employing him just to make sure there is no remaining doubt that the guy is a useless manager. Bullet dodged.
Cooking meth, he's broken Chelsea badBoehly is cooking there.
Potter did 'look' out of his depth and handled the pressure in an odd way, but I thought sacking after the Villa result was hasty as Villa are a good team this season and you outplayed them on that day and losing was just a bit unlucky. Getting in ridiculous amount of players, then sacking Potter and putting in Lampard is really terrible running of a football club. You've got yourselves your own Woody, except he's worse than Woody, somehow.I was in the minority that had the foresight to see this was going to happen and advocated for Potter to remain until the end of the season.

Iirc Potter didn't get it either.How hopeless do you have to be to not even get a new manager bounce?
Because the players didn't want Tuchel to go. It only works when there's an improvement.Iirc Potter didn't get it either.
There’s different types of manager I guess. Lampard seems to be a manager in the old fashioned sense, whereas Chelsea right now need a coach - someone to take all those pieces and put them back together. Lampard would probably be a good option as a ‘steady pair of hands’ until the end of the season if all he had to do was keep the plates spinning. But at Chelsea they’ve already smashed into pieces on the floor, while Frank is stood there with some evo stick not knowing where to start.It's a bit odd that he's such a bad manager. Given that he had more intelligence on the pitch than most top players and more intelligence off the pitch than pretty much every top player (I think that he is considered Mensa level - for what that's worth), you'd think he'd be able to coach a team.
Management isn't about intelligence though for the most part. Wisdom, energy and charisma play the biggest part in much of it.It's a bit odd that he's such a bad manager.

This may be true, but many top coaches will tell you:It's a bit odd that he's such a bad manager. Given that he had more intelligence on the pitch than most top players and more intelligence off the pitch than pretty much every top player (I think that he is considered Mensa level - for what that's worth), you'd think he'd be able to coach a team.

Potter had just started to look like he was getting it together. 3 wins, including knocking out Dortmund, followed by pummelling Everton and Villa and being very unlucky to only take one point. There’s no way they’d have been as bad as now under him.Potter did 'look' out of his depth and handled the pressure in an odd way, but I thought sacking after the Villa result was hasty as Villa are a good team this season and you outplayed them on that day and losing was just a bit unlucky.

We would undoubtedly have still been shit but what we had was a good manager with a bad team, now we have a bad team and a bad manager. Utterly laughable.Potter had just started to look like he was getting it together. 3 wins, including knocking out Dortmund, followed by pummelling Everton and Villa and being very unlucky to only take one point.
