I don't see why Chelsea would sack Sarri, i have concerns but he met his goals. I think it is more likely Sarri leaves Chelsea than he get sacked.

Very few managers resign where we are concerned. I'm expecting him to stay on, but I can see next season being a horror as things stand (Hazard off, transfer ban, extension of squad players, etc).

I wouldnt be surprised if 1) Juve wanted Sarri and 2) if Sarri takes the Juventus job. Plus, would anybody blame him? A large majority of our fans seem to have a huge dislike for him and regardless of what he thinks, at board level there must be some sort of realisation that there is a huge disconnection and dislike from a percentage of the fans.

 I think again, like when Conte was here, we would be the only club to get rid of 2 managers and see them potentially have the opportunity to walk into arguably better jobs - although nothing materialised with Conte regarding Real as he turned them down but still. 

Even then, footballing wise, Juventus are in a lot better structural shape than we are, would be very ideal working conditions for most managers to work there, proper footballing men running the show, great recruitment and the manager actually gets a chance to implement his way of working. Allegri was a unpopular choice to replace Conte all those years ago but when the season started Juve fans rallied behind him and he leaves now having been inducted into the Italian football hall of fame largely based on his achievements there, winning 5 leagues in a row and countless cup trophies. 

Good to see another huge summer for the club potentially going to be clouded with uncertainty regarding players and now the manager. Again......

Sarri getting the sack and Juve actually coming after him are two different things (which was the orignal point).

Inzaghi makes more sense where Juve are concerned as well.

Id love Frank at one point, but its probably too soon. I dont want this turns into our Ole.

If he qualifies with Derby, respect that and give him a chance to show his worth there. 

In a year or two if we still need a manager, bring him in if he does well in PL.

Fans may have good reasons to fear Lampard might be our Ole if he's hired right now but even in his short managerial career so far, Lampard seems to already have more about him and his coaching/management skills than Solskjaer whose rhetoric and seemingly only source of motivation is to hark back to the good old days of Fergie. Moreover, you get the feel that Lampard would instantly get the respect of the players here, especially the younger ones, and that he can motivate/bond with the players and fans, if those Derby celebration videos are anything to go by.

I don't think Sarri has done a bad job .. I also think if we had a good striker like Costa we would have been Much higher up. Even if Frank was hired and once we start dropping a few points, the same idiots that are calling for sarris head will start picking up theier pitch forks  and demanding Frank's head be placed in the guillotine saying he didn't have the experience.  Even peps or klopps first seasons weren't all roses.

Well, just great. Hollywood FC back at it again a week before a European final.

Couldn’t these rumors just wait a bit? All little hope I had for the game, is now gone.

Would be monumentally stupid to sack him before giving him a proper chance next season. And bringing in Lampard, who has manager for a grand total of 1 season in the Championship, to manage one of the world's biggest clubs is a recipe for disaster. Never managed in the PL, never had to manage against teams of this caliber, has to outsmart and compete with the likes of Pep, Poch, Klopp, etc with no experience having done so.

It's just far too soon for this move. If he had been keeping a PL club midtable for a few seasons and playing nice football that's one thing. But he's been at it ONE season in a lower division. That's nowhere near enough of a resume.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Are the club thinking right though? The ban could remain, the fans are already full of apprehension and are not Sarri's biggest fan. Lampard and Morris in would create a joint between first team and the youth lads, who may be needed if the ban stays. We have also the small factor of trying to keep CHO again, and what two better men than Frank and Jody to persuade him and give him the big shot he needs.

Maybe the club are thinking this way, a new start. I'm not saying I think it's right, what I am saying is maybe they know what is coming from the CAS and by doing this the fans are pulled back onside.

There are a lot of different scenarios and factors right now.

Who knows, Lampard might even be able to convince Hazard if the transfer ban is maintained..

Lampard’s Derby did outplay Mourinho’s United at Old Trafford and had the mentality to overcome them in penalties. That penalty shootout was something else.

This is something you should not overlook.

Oh yes football really is that simple Bradford beat us 3-2 after being 2-0 down when Mourinho was manager lets have that bloke as our manager. Celtic beat Barca 1-0 in the Champions League lets have Neil Lennon as our manager. Wigan beat Man City in the cup final etc etc

Exit-bound Juventus boss Max Allegri wants a new club soon amid Chelsea & Spurs links

There is a difference between Bradford/Wigan and Derby. The former teams are actually shit. The former are playing good football.

You wanna go back to school and learn some grammar that doesn't make sense if your referring to Derby then it should be the latter play good football. You think that a league cup match where United had their keeper sent off in the 67th minute is a good reason for considering Lampard for the Chelsea job ?

My post wasn't directed to you, if you make a quick searh in the forum you will find numerous posts that are using the word "smoker" as an insult or implying that smoking is hindering his abilities/judgement or even comparing smoking to drugs, which is just laughable to say the least. I agree with you on some points about smoking in the workplace but i also think that it is not as dire as people make it out to be. You need to respect the others though, no questions about that.

And Ashley Cole or Vialli were not playing back in 1976, it is kinda ironic that Sarri is getting bashed for smoking when 2 of our legends had the same habit, don't you think?

Don't think you can compare Sarri to Ashley Cole a 60 a day habit compared to a social smoker are two different things entirely. I gave up smoking 10 years ago I got fed up off going outside to smoke in the pissing down rain and I'm glad I did. Smoking is not a character flaw but Sarri does look like a dishevelled wino trying to suck the life out of a butt he's found on the pavement.

Stop acting like a petulant little baby for once

Ha ha that's rich coming from you mate all you ever do is moan. So Derby are 90 minutes away from the Premier League if they lose what then he's failed in his objective. Lamps is a legend but giving  jobs because they were great players rarely works Shearer and Giggs although only part time were terrible Trevor Brooking couldn't save West Ham under similar circs. Hoddle at Spurs didn't work Daglish second time round was terrible for Liverpool.

Anyway consider this matter closed I'd rather stick knitting needles in my eyes then have a conversation about anything with you.

[Pizy 18,897]

Sentiment has to be put aside. Chelsea needs a top manager with ample experience at the absolute top level. Someone astute enough to go toe to toe with the numerous world class managers in the PL.

Would Lamps get everyone on his side and will his appointment be extremely popular? Yes. Is he ready for the flaming cauldron that is the Chelsea managers position? I don't think so. Especially if he gets no backing in the transfer window due to the ban.

Imagine a first time PL manager with this squad. Washed up Higuain and Giroud as our strikers, no Hazard, RLC & CHO injured for the first several months of the season at least, Alonso and Azpi as our starting fullbacks. All the while City, Liverpool, United, Arse, and Spuds will have spent big improving their teams and have settled managers.

Recipe for fucking calamitous disaster. Don't do this to Super Frank. Not fair to him.
