Helps with access to the club. Athletic are not known for biting critique but more known for digging out details that otherwise wouldn't be explored.

I feel the Guardian's weekly pod has steadfastly criticised Lampard and even during the winning run, one expert pointed out the quality of teams Chelsea have beaten and said they'd wait till the team plays better sides.

What does it have to do with getting access to the club when they get info from inside source for their articles? It's not like they such info directly from the PR person. 

It's disappointing that we are getting puff pieces like that when The Athletic can explore more given they have contacts, inside sources and all that. Even our debates on the forum here have more substance than some of their pieces!

I just have a feeling that it's going to take a long time before he's sacked which is extremely annoying.

It won't, the board won't allow results and positions in the table to go south too much before they act. They have given FL  a war chest in the summer, so far they are entitled to ask what the actual fuck is going on.

Especially when over 100M of that was on the bench yesterday.

I think he will get the season unless the season goes into a tailspin

I would only sack him when a good enough coach is available. Note 'good enough' doesn't mean 'the right one'. If top 4 looks in danger in another month or so its time to look for a new coach. The problem is there's few standout options.

Poch is the only one jumping out at me. I dont rate Jody Morris but would like Anthony Barry to stay. Maybe in the Steve Holland role

Lampard is currently at 7/2 to be sacked, according to the bookies, but there's been nothing from the media to suggest his job is really on the line or that he is on the brink.

I just saw his post match interview, what is he thinking? Reporter asks " so was this the response you wanted after the Ars game " Lamps says I couldnt ask for more from my players. WTF are you mental Lamps? Has your standard fallen so much? Sorry thats not good enough by half.

And contrary to most on here who reject the idea of Simione, I think he would be great to have here. His passion and drive would ensure we never see performances like the one we had to endure the other day.

 

Appoint him and i'll leave like a shot out of a gun, after 60 odd years of supporting us/them.

I'll fuck off to my Souff London club Millwall

There's no way would i suffer him and his 6-4-0 formation

If there's one manager not suited to Chelsea then it's Simione.

To be fair, he slaughtered our players 2 days ago and after zero training, we were definitely better than against Arsenal, even though it was not much better. If he started to slaughter our players again, he would lose the dressing room. He knows most of his players are tired and low on confidence. Does not need to make it worse

Just come out and say it like it is, sure we were a bit better but considering how trashy we were vs Ars then its not much consolation. It was not the response required at all. Every team are tired Killer, yet they put in the shift.

There is a difference because we played on saturday and then on monday. This is insane and this means zero time for real preparation.

And I also think Lampard needs the dressing room behind him. Slaughtering everyone like Mourinho does will only give a toxic environment to the team. Lampard knows that he can't afford to lose the dressing room. This was also a mixed team. AC, Toni, CHO, Giroud and Azpi are non starters for instance.

It was not the response we needed, but Lampard destroying the players in front of the media again against an in form Villa is not the way to go bro

Given that City and Morecambe will be likely suspended, I'd be telling Lampard that against Fulham, Leicester, Wolves, and Burnley, his points total should be at the minimum 10. Failure to get 10 points, I'd sack him.

He's has zero excuses then. Everyone will be fit.

If we are going to sack Lampard, now might be the perfect to do it because if those 2 games get postponed, then whoever comes in will have 17 days (IIRC) to work with the players until our trip to Fulham. Otherwise, he won't have many days at all to work with the players.
