Cruyff Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Knew this day would come. I don't think the guys a bad coach though just not someone that could make Chelsea a top 3 team at this stage in his management career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Dongcaster Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Pretty nice statement from Roman.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think he is a good manager in the making but maybe another case where managing a club you played for isn't always all it is cracked up to be with added pressure on top. Man U might be glad now though that they gave a former player time which I think Lampard would have shown too but we all know Chelsea!

Fort Vallance Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Interesting to see if he's got as much to say as he did when his old man got the sack. I'm guessing the payoff or confidentiality clause might keep him quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffin Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Right guy, wrong time. Think he'll go on to be a decent manager but it was the right decision to end it. I'd argue they probably shouldn't have started it though either, and that's as much on him as the club. Certainly a shame though for him, the fans and the club that it didn't work.

Spellczech Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Pretty sure it was not Lampard who chose the summer signings, and also doubt the foreign players were quite as wowed by Lampard as a coaching prospect as the Premiership players and pundits were. Add to this that his young English players were the ones who had to make way for the expensive summer signings and he quickly lost the dressing room. Too big a job coming too early in his career. Needs to go and do a solid job at somewhere like Crystal Palace or West Ham for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue wasn't personnel, it was playing the right mix of them. They looked solid for a long period of time with James, Zouma, Silva and Chillwell in from of Mendy. Losing James to injury was a blow but the recent omission of Zouma was just weird and they looked much worse for it.

bajthejambo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Lampard wasn't good enough to coach at that level. Having better players won him games, but he struggles tactically against a lot of the other managers in that league. It's not a coincidence that Chelsea hadn't won a game against a top 6/7/8 side this season. Abramovich is ruthless, he's sacked Mourinho twice! Chelsea have remained competitive and won trophies through the entirety of his ownership though. It's hard to be overly critical of his methods.

Zouma, agreed, not where we want to be but had been doing a decent job. Definitely think the options open at the back are better than last year though. Tomori going out is a weird one for me.

CJGJ Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 7 weeks ago his team were set to go top of the league Now he's gone with I'm sure a large pay off It's the Chelsea way under Abramovich who pays lip service to the Chelsea legend status that Lampard holds When he signed on you would have thought he had a couple of full seasons to get things moving especially under the transfer embargo of last season. The money spent last summer increased the pressure on him but who knows who selected the players signed.....no matter what he was expected to deliver if not the title then at least top 4 (doing so last season did not help him ironically) I think many thought when appointed change was afoot as to how Chelsea were to be run but Abramovich has reverted to type and it looks like the future will be the same as the recent past with regular change of management. No new manger can pretend he does not know what the future holds for him Frank will need to decide if management is for him especially after nailing his colours so clearly to Chelsea...how will other clubs fans feel about him if he was appointed at their club ? He's young, intelligent and money will not be an issue so there will be options open to him....time to take a step back, spend time with his family and see just how he feels in a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
