For 100kpw, at 18, you'd be mad. Club values him and probably promised him a starting spot.

3rd place finish? League cup final? Europa league winner? Managed to achieve his objective? More sensible to see out his contract and appoint Lampard in vs sack him now and get Lampard in? I don't know, pick one you like best.

God to be a fly in that board room

You see, for it to be "Wishful thinking" that would imply a lack of evidence, rational, or reality. “I’m waiting for new players next season. I want good players because I want to win next season the Premier League. “I need two more trophies, Champions League and FA Cup. That’s it,” He's won everything, obviously only things that's left is the Champions League. Think it's pretty rational to think that he wants to leave given we can't compete for it. Now with a transfer ban, probably the best time for him to leave, , given with all things considered, he'll be in his 30's before we can realistically compete for it.

So how are we lining up next season? Giroud Pulisic------------Pedro Kovacic----Kante Jorginho Emerson---Luiz---Ruidger---Dave Kepa

Think it's in every Chelsea fan's best interest to ignore this club completely come June - July every year given how foolishly we are run.

That's the club's fault. Not his. The fact we can't match his aspiration, given we have the same amount of resources as the other top spenders in Europe, shows the incompetence of how we are run. I find it selfish to have the audacity to think he should stay, when we have been holding him back for years.

Delusional? That's harsh. He may had aspirations elsewhere, but Hazard gave us nearly a decade of elite performances. The majority of which he held a heavy burden given the lack of quality we had. For me personally, he is more talented than Zola. I'd have Hazard as our best LW ever.

What makes you think Lampard won't come here and do the same? We have a limited squad, so it is bound to happen. The sheer fact you have convinced yourself that Lampard will come in and do all the things you've mentioned, is bizarre speculation based on emotional appeal.

Least there's this honesty and consistency. Bare in mind, this is all because of the laughable notion that Lampard will be given time by both the club and the fans.

So what if Lampard picks Alonso after he's continuously made mistakes whereas Emerson has shown promise? Are you suggesting you won't criticise him the way you have mercilly criticised Sarri? Laughable. Take a look back at your posts.

Ah so if Lampard picks Alonso, it's because he shows more in training. But if Sarri picked him, it's because he was purposely sabotaging. Btw, I've looked at your posts regarding Alonso/Emerson. Different tune you are blowing now.

The absolute scenes if Lampard makes Alonso his #1 left back. Can't wait to see the 180 of some members.

There's an exception to every rule. We'll find out should Lampard get the job. I expect Lampard to get sacked if we are trophyless or fail to make top 4. And I expect the fans to turn on him the moment Alonso or Willian get a run of games. I don't base my facts on conjecture. I base it on history.

Why would this club give time to an inexperienced manager vs experienced managers? How is that financially viable? Since when has this club ever leaned towards sentimentals vs efficiency?

There seems to be some bizarre notion that Lampad will be given time from the board and the fans. And that the players will all of a sudden put in 110% shifts every week. Just because it's Lampard.

If the board have one redeeming act, it's to continue with progressive managers. Fuck the Mourinho's Fuck the Allegri's Fuck the Simeone's Fuck the Santo's Fuck the Gracia's Fuck em

I actually question the mental state of fans that want Mourinho back. Truly

This is going to set us back, but at least we have 1 year of progressive football injected in the team. Build on it. Sarri may be gone, but let's still keep that same vision into the club.

Three fantastic managers gone and Willian is still here

The fans will give Lampard time/will respect him is the most absurd argument I've ever heard. I remember when Lampard went to City and when he scored against us. The resentment and bashing he received because of it. We are some of the most impatient fans out there, and you cannot, convince me otherwise our fans won't be just as merciless if results don't go our way. I'm sick and tired of hearing all of this conjecture about Lampard. He will have time. He will be respected. I will believe it when I see it. Far as I'm concerned, the moment things go south, (which I reckon will be rather quick given he is no way qualified), the same bell-ends that were so quick to be in favor for Lampard, will be the first to turn on him.

I really wish we could question the appointment. Honestly. Want someone to ask Buck "What makes you think a manager, who in his first year took one of the best squads in the championship yet finished 6th, is capable of managing Chelsea Football Club? Please explain your rationale"

You can't teach an old dog new tricks. His football is outdated. His negative tactics will hold us back and his toxic nature will put another black cloud over the club. This team is worse than our 2016 team that had us finish 10th under him, and you want him to manage this?

Even more worrying there are fans that actually want Mourinho back.... Just....wow
