Yes a young manager, with not many managerial years under his belt, but as a player he had a very senior role, knew what it took to win, worked under some great managers and would have had the respect from his players. 18 months for a Chelsea manager is about par Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t sign any of them apparently, were put on him, he asked to sign Rice and Tarkowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £10m+ he'll pocket when he leaves will probably ease the pain though. Could always do a job on Loose Woman with his Mrs. Just read on the BBC website that Abramovich has paid out £110m in compensation for sacking managers! His mate John Terry could always do a job on loose women! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 It’s an interesting tale. Lampard last season had a free hit because of the embargo. He blooded loads of players, and had no choice but to do so. Expectations broadly exceeded. This season, he’s been able to spend, and spend big. It’s interesting that Klopp, who assumedly has good knowledge of Werner from his contacts , passed when Liverpool were favourites but Lampard took him on. The signings of good players such as Havertz and Zicech seemed like decent business but it’s questionable to how much they were needed with Pulisic, Hudson-Odoi etc already on board. So you’re left to buy a keeper on the relative cheap, and your centre halves still look shaky. My broad read is that he did well last year, but given opportunity to reshape the squad, has made it more lopsided and not solved the issues he had. And that, together with the pressure of needing to make CL places, means he’s got the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hasn't got enough out of Werner and Havertz even so though, £72m player sat on the bench most weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 When was the last time a romantic appointment worked out?

Bris Red Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 He took the job too early IMO. Obviously he was never going to say no when offered it but he needed to earn his stripes so to speak before taking it. It takes more than one season at Derby County to become a seasoned experienced manager.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
