Oh most definitely. Roman is far less impulsive these days as he has people in place that he trusts completely (e.g. Marina).

If you did something last season and carried on doing this season, are you doing something different this season? No.
We're talking about things Lampard changed this season. Tomori has been out of the side since 2019, it's not a new development.
Will be at WBA next. Mark my words.
You're letting your tears cloud your judgment.
Your posts are bad but not quite tear inducing.
Thanks for the seal of approval.
More money to spend doesn’t mean you will do better. He really got no clue when he was given those money last summer. I never understand what was his plan when he signed Havertz & Werner. Werner is more suitable in counter attack or counter press team which not suitable to how Lampard plays last season and Havertz is no 10 or forward not a no 8.
Romans patience ran out so no surprise Frank was sacked. @duffer tried to convinced me a few weeks ago that Lampard would still be Chelsea manager next season as Roman had changed his ways hmm.
The British media will be very upset that their darling is gone but they'll have to move on now realise Tuchel is a big upgrade on Lampard.

Liar liar pants on fire.
Do you think?
Not convinced at all TR. With Chelsea they dealt with the devil, this is part of the deal of having a filthy rich owner. They demand results and have little patience when they're throwing 200million of their own money at the club. I don't really think long term Managers are a thing in the slightest, it's more a case that the Premier League have the best Managers in the world here right now (with a few minor exceptions). So naturally they're going to be given more time. I was utterly baffled by both Arsenal and Chelsea appointing two rookie Managers. It's the last thing you want to be doing right now in the Premier League.
We were slightly different as Ole came in half way through as caretaker, we didn't sign him up initially so he had a chance to prove himself. It was an educated gamble on our part with results to back it up. Arsenal and Chelsea closed their eyes and hoped for the best. I mean, how do you expect Chelsea to react when Lamps was satisitcally the worst Manager in the Roman Era? A pat on the back? I'll applaud the Chelsea fans for sticking with him though, if Ole had Lampards results, Redcafe would be a smouldering wreck.
I mean I don't disagree. He was out of his depth by the looks of it but was the structure and support really there for him to thrive? I'm not so sure. When you look at what's been done at United (and still lots of work to go) you can see the club is fully supportive and invested in the wider vision. They've show this by letting him move on some big players, revamp the staff behind the scenes and allow him to influence signings. Chelsea were supposed to be doing this themselves but it's all been smoke and mirrors. With the report that players have been revolting and going to the committee complaining about Frank it just seems there's toxicity throughout the place that they really need to weed out.
He should never have taken the job. Roman isn't known for patience, he was never going to get much leeway to learn his trade and build the experience that he's sorely missing. This was inevitable. He would have been much better off working at smaller clubs for another few years before taking the step up.
He's seemed out of his depth this season, the spending spree really escalated the pressure on him. Obviously he was in his element when he was working with the younger, more inexperienced players, throwing a load of egos in the team all at once really pulled the rug from under his feet.
It's a shame he's been sacked, the blame ultimately lays with whoever signed these players during the summer. If that was Lampard's decision then it's his own fault, but who knows.

Almost like rain on your wedding day
Same with me.
Imo the Hire/Fire era was practically over by the moment the players prices gone through the roof. That method basically could only work if the club can afford multiple expensive signings in one or two windows consecutively.
Back then £100m bought you 3 world class or very good players. If you spend £300m well you're basically buying a title winning team. Now £300m give you 3,4 good players. However when you buy a player for £100m you're very likely to have to give him a £300k - £400k a week contract. Very few players could keep their hunger and motivation after such deals, especially the young ones. They also become very very big assets of the club, much bigger than the manager himself. And they know that. Their agents know that. The club knows that. Even the manager knows that.
Shouldn't have got the gig in the first place. I'm sure he will be added to the dial-a-manager list alongside the likes of Bruce, McCarthy, Pulis etc.
Think he'll head to MLS soon
That's because I thought we'd improve, I never said "Roman has changed his ways".
What? Why? There’s no need.
I’m not going to go through and dig out half the forum for being Ole Out and gloat.....
1 - There’s literally no need
2 - It would cause an unnecessary argument
You were literally trying to bet with people
Seems fairly evident that you thought things would be different this time.

It was not "Frank Lampard will never get the sack". It was Lampard will not get the sack at the time, and he didn't.
There's a reason nobody took me up on the offer, they'd have lost.
I thought he'd last longer, I was wrong but let's not pretend I was talking about Roman changing his ways. I say enough stupid shit on here that people don't need to make stuff up.
Phil Neville better hit the ground running
You said he would last the season.
Someone did try and call you out on your bet but you backed down.
You are obviously deeply emotional right now over today's events so it's understandable that your memory is a little bit off.
It is hilarious how he cannot admit to being wrong. Ive been wrong on things and i admit it and just move on. He seems to believe that he can never be wrong. Its comical as feck.
The constant goalpost moving is hilarious to be fair
Post a link to someone accepting my bet and I'll pay you double whatever the bet was.
I remember someone offered me a totally different bet but nobody accepted mine.
My good name is being dragged through the mud here, I've a good mind to sue you for libel!
More brutal than Ancelotti and Di Matteo?
No offence but this is just hilarious. Like something Alan Partridge would do. Not trying to gang up on you Duffer, but you have to let it go. People can get it wrong, even the smartest of us.
I mean, he is still Frank Lampard
He'll probably get a good opportunity next. Maybe not in the Premier League, but going to another country would allow him to learn even more.

Where's the person who accepted my bet?
On his final day it’s only right to say this moment lives in my head rent free. . .
Of course not. Ancelotti was the one done dirtiest - sacked in the tunnel at Goodison having finished 2nd the year after winning the league and making us one of the most exciting attacking sides in Europe, at least until Roman meddled to foist a past-it Torres on him.
Did it with many on here no doubt. As for now It would be easier for duffer to hold his hands up and admit he was wrong.
