Sack Race 20/21

Not open for further replies.
Lampard has done well compared to Ole CV.

Difference being he has been given more time.

Got Top 4 and FA Cup Final last season with no cash. Gets a boat load buys too many players to fit the system without addressing real problem.

Never should have gotten the job in first place, a more experienced manager buys right and makes the squad stronger.

It is a tough one and I agree to a certain extent. The problem is a club like Chelsea just hire and fire, and Lampard will be seen as a failure and find it hard to get another job. And, imo, someone like him should not be lost to football.

....it could well have gone sour for him at Derby and he’d never had got that big opportunity again. If he’s still interested, I suspect somebody will take a chance on him.

Lampard shouldn’t have gone from Derby until he got them promoted. He probably thought he had a free swing at Chelsea though because of the transfer ban.

I think he’d get time if he was ok track for top 4 but I don’t think any club can afford to miss out on what they’ve budgeted. There’s going to be carnage across the top 6 for whoever doesn’t make top 4.
 
Confirmed



This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the Board have taken lightly.

We are grateful to Frank for what he has achieved in his time as Head Coach of the Club. However, recent results and performances have not met the Club’s expectations, leaving the Club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement.

There can never be a good time to part ways with a club legend such as Frank, but after lengthy deliberation and consideration it was decided a change is needed now to give the Club time to improve performances and results this season.

Roman Abramovich said,
“This was a very difficult decision for the Club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him’.

“He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers.

“On behalf of everyone at the Club, the Board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as Head Coach and wish him every success in the future. He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains undiminished. He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge.”

The Club will be making no further comment until such time as a new Head Coach is appointed.

Spot on. A disgrace that he got that job in the first place. I feel sorry for genuinely talented young managers who have cut their teeth in the lower leagues, having to watch jokers like lampard, Gerrard, Rooney (and even arteta to a certain extent) waltz into top jobs.

What top job has Rooney walked into?

Agree with that. The money spent was always gonna be an issue rather than being a good enough manager. The levels are completely different.

What a horrid club though. Binning a club legend off off like that and the fans being all fine with it. No shame.

Do you want them crying in the streets? He's clearly not up to the job, hasn't been on the end of a vitriolic campaign (though empty stands no doubt contribute to that) and will be rewarded very handsomely for his efforts. If something's not working then changing it isn't a shameful action.

It's not as if Lampard went there thinking that Abramovich is a patient man known for allowing managers time to ride out poor spells - and they have been appalling in some recent performances.

Club legend Howard Kendall got a hell of a lot of grief from fans during even his first spell. Condemning all around while not acknowledging that it's largely standard behaviour is cultish behaviour better suited to that lot across the park. And even the great Howard Kendall completely bombed Big Nev out of the club with barely a whimper from the fans or a chance to acknowledge his career at Everton - that's football.

If you want to see shameful look at the complete banishment of Shankly from the RS before embracing his memory for marketing purposes. Or the club fully endorsing CGI zombie Paisley flogging financial products for a particularly contemptible financial institution while former players who supposedly respected him take full part.
 

Hard to argue against his sacking based on form and, well, managerial talent which he blatantly had very little of, but I never see the point in spending £200m+ on a team then sacking the manager a few months later. No chance to build consistency.
 
Crazy decision to sack arguably their greatest ever player so soon.

Done very well last season with what he had and this is his first real spell of bad form and they have sacked him.

Let's be honest as well it's the Werner havertz and ziyech signings that have cost him, which k doubt it was even him who signed them anyway probably a sporting director or whatever.

Disgusting football club them

If you're a former player cutting his teeth in League Two or trying to build a career working part-time in the lower reaches of Non-league then Derby is assuredly a top job.

In the grand scale of things The Championship is bigger, better and richer than the vast majority of the world's leagues.

He was the coach there so some continuity. Me, personally, would like to see the likes of Rooney, Lampard Arteta and the like given a chance than the likes of Fat sam, Steve Bruce and Roy Hodgeson and their archaic ways of playing football.
 
Any side can go on a bad run and seeing they were talked about as potential challengers before they played us and given what has happened at utd, this feels a tad too soon.
