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

I would take Zola over Mourinho. Matter of fact I would take Kepa over Mourinho

After checking, there are only two ways of resigning. Mutual consent, or a club buying you out of your current contract. I still find it hard seeing Marina doing the former.

Then i've lost my respect.

I smell bull shit. Marina, of all people, agreeing for no compensation? A highly valuable manager we broke our back for last summer? We rejected a 60 million bid for Willian for goodness sake.

Something isn't adding up. DiMarzio is reporting that this deal will not compensate us in any way. And that is merely on the basis of the 'great relationship' between Juventus and Chelsea. A. Great Relationship? What the fuck has Juve ever done for us? Yeah Cheers for Alex Sandro you fucking mugs. B. Marina, one of the best negotiators around, is willing to let Sarri, a highly valuable manager, one we broke our back for last summer, just merely go for free?

This City side will be regarded one of, if not the best footballing sides the Premier league has ever seen. They've smashed every record available. This success is predominantly down to having a vision. Txiki came in 2012, and since then it's been attacking/progressive football. City have never been out of the top 4 since. Liverpool look to be following the same principle and it's showed massively these past two years. We jump from one philosophy to the next, which in turn yo-yo's us from contenders to mid table. Instead of building upon what we start, we abandon it for something new. Back to square one. Short term thinkning. This City side and Liverpool both finished at almost 100 points, there is no way we can just switch philosophies again and expect to catch them. You are naive to think so. No. The most efficient thing to do is to appoint another progressive manager.

Allegri? We've just endured a year of progressive football, and you want us to go back to pragmatic football? There is a reason City is lightyears ahead of us. They have a clear identity and vision, they aren't jumping from one philosophy to the next. Going back to square one season after season. I'd rather Lampard or Jardim. At least they can take over what Sarri started.
