He was in the top 4 for most of last season after a transfer ban. Not long ago people were saying Chelsea are genuine title contenders. I am not sure why you are surprised. The nature of this season is such that a 3/4 game winning run and Chelsea would have been there or thereabouts for the top four.
"Dope"I posted a year ago that now the transfer ban is over his days are numbered simply because he's not a good enough manager.
Pretty much. He doesn't fit with what Chelsea have done. He can't use or get the best use of the players they've bought, bar his surrogate son Mount, they don't seem to like him either. It's literally within everyone's best interest he leaves, including his.
the answers are Yes and None
In the last 6 years (2015 onwards) we've won the league twice, the fa cup, the league cup and the Europa League.
That +1 point doesn't mean Lampard is better. Ole was still in the cup semi and winning againts most of top 6 clubs with a worst squad. Only 3 players outside the academy were coming in, and there is no depth. Once Pogba was sidelined, then Martial, and then Rashford, we got screwed by a negative football, but did well againts attacking teams.
I guess you miss some point. Many people probably think a club needs to build a team to play in a way/style and hence establish an identity. It’s not about a particular manager sacked, but the vision the club hierarchy shows which is short term result driven. This is probably the first real hard period Lampard experienced (8 games). The outcome is his sacking just as his every preceding managers earned. They just show again that’s the club hierarchy’s philosophy which disappoints a lot of Chelsea supporters.
That coming from an arsenal fan aswell. Weird take.
If he's lost the dressing room then that's on him, but then again Chelsea squads seem to be that way inclined. So would most, human nature dictates that if you think you can get your immediate superior the sack the moment you don't like him anymore then it sets a pattern for this imo. I think that's why we see it time and again at Chelsea, they know if they down tools the manager gets the sack.
I agree with this. I shouldn't be shocked but didn't think they'd be this ruthless with a Chelsea legend.
Conte didn't get much considering he won the league
Yeah but Chelsea are cnuts, I don't think so, I know so!

At the end of the day, it depends on the club's culture to sack a manager not the points in the league. In my previous post, I said United have had long history giving managers more times, but Chelsea don't.
And a Chelsea fan was replying with a sarcasm when we didn't gave Moyes enough time
I didn’t say he was the best, I said he’s been excellent for them. Which he has, when he hasn’t been injured. He’s been in and out which probably reflects on his stats
