Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

[Special Juan 28,133]

Lampard is coming home.

[Henrique 9,133]

I'm still convinced that that the whole Lampard thing is 100% made up, and I'm also convinced Sarri is staying. All of those rumors about Sarri moving back to Italy and Lampard becoming the manager are coming from the italian press, the same one that were saying until days ago that Pepe Guardiola had signed for Juventus.

About Lampard, I don't care if he is coming from Championship. Guardiola had no previous experience before managing Barcelona, he only had one year managing Barcelona B. Appointing Lampard is a better choice than appointing someone like Allegri. 

[Special Juan 28,133]

The loan of Higuain was a risk, same with Kovacic or any other middle of the road player we have ended up getting.

Lampard is a risk, but no bigger risk than any of these washed up players and loans we have seen come here and do fuck all.

The Lamps one may be BS, but something is up with Sarri. One thing is for sure, Napoli fans wont be happy if he goes to Juve.

Yeah we know Pep had no track record but he had Messi, Iniesta and Xavi FFS. We have... what? Willian and Giroud?

Said it the other day, we've hired successful and/or experienced managers and gotten nowhere with them. Maybe hiring someone new, up-and-coming manager will do us good?

That he did but he also had a vision and plan to rebuild their squad. Got rid of certain big name players and got players that worked for him.

If I had to choose between Sarri and Lampard, for next season I’ll have to swallow one of the hardest pills and choose Sarri.

Yes, because things will definitely get better under Sarri especially if we can't sign players...

Thats the problem though, with the ban, Sarri will not cut it. He will keep flogging his favorite 12-14 players with the same tactics and way. You couple that with our rivals buying players and it will likely look a bit grim. And we will have CL on top of that, not ideal imo.

I’m not saying it will get better. I’d rather have a different coach. But if I was forced to the corner, I’ll have to stick with Sarri.

Again, Lampard isn’t ready. I know it’s a dream having him coach here and turn Chelsea around but we need to use our heads inside of our hearts and dreams. It is a HUGE ask from him, and one bad season could damage his career.

He didn’t promote Derby to the PL so now it’ll be until Jan 2021 (assuming Derby gets promoted) before I change my mind.

What must Lampard do to prove that he's ready? Manage in the Premier League? Win a trophy? 

It's ironic of me to say this but why do people keep on focusing on the bad side of this potential appointment? What if Lampard comes in and actually does a good job? What if he does well and prove he is more than capable of managing at the highest level already?

It's a huge ask for anyone to turn this club around but if we are to do so, at least give us a manager who isn't stubborn and inflexible in his own ways.

The ones jumping on the lampard Train I bet ye they will be first ones calling for him to be sacked if he doesn't do well lamps is not ready yet let him gain experience as a manager FFS before going for him 

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Sarri isn't as stubborn as he was. He is adapting but slowing. Don't jump on me, I didn't say he was NO LONGER stubborn I said he was less stubborn. 

He grew more confident in CHO. He dropped kovacic for RLC towards the end. He dropped Alonso for Emerson. He doesn't even start Higuain every game because he can see it's not working. 

He won't be successful in my view next season but i don't think he'd be a disaster, a little stability (that's including some stable performances) wouldn't hurt in this turmoil. 

Without Hazard, we may well have to play more quick passes. It's a shame Ruben got injured as well as CHO

Like you were gonna suddenly say "Lampard is ready for us" had Derby won. 🙄

Well he isnt but again, there would be more faith from me if his team had at least shown up in their biggest game of the season. He isnt ready and should be appointed on merits as a manager, not as an ex player. Big games have veen our Achilles heel this season as well and other than the game vs Leeds from what I have seen of Derby, if we played like that against big teams many people wouldnt be happy.
