The only way you could see any manager seeing out his contract with Roman is if they won the Prem and champions league every year, and commented that he is the best chairman, of the best football club ever, as every press conference... Of course, the appeal and attraction was obvious. I get that. But as a career step, it was naive, premature, and loaded with risk. Look at a top coach like Brendan Rodgers. He had to bide his time before getting a big job. He only got the Liverpool job after he had first taken Swansea up and then established them as a competitive team in the PL. Even then some people argued it was too soon for him. And that’s after three different jobs and three to four years of development and learning the craft. I don’t think Chelsea is an impossible job, but as a manager, it’s obvious when you have bitten off more than you can chew. With Lampard going there, it was clear right away.

Rev Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 In the long term, I don't think this will hurt Frank too much. He'll point to a play off final, with only a few loans to help, and Champions League qualification under a transfer ban as proof of ability, and someone who's not scratched the surface will go for him. It's hardly like being sacked by Chelsea is the end of a coach's career, wouldn't surprise me to see him back in the dugout there before the decades out. If I were him, I'd wait until a club on the up, like Southampton, has their manager poached, then step into a decent squad that's performing well, I don't think he has the experience yet to turn around a poor group.

Agreed. Also, I Have said this before on here, that if he had turned Abramovich down, he would have never been offered it again. So it was Hobson's choice really.

As he was pointing to those things I would point to.... a play off defeat, the fact that he finished in the same position as Gary Rowett even with an England international midfielder, the best Welsh player since Bale and an English international who the best team in Italy thought would strengthen their side in it....

Chester40 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Frank Lampard has already commented on his sacking: *Friends and family are everything,” said the former midfielder. “When I got home, John Terry was already there comforting Christine on the couch. Not sure how he heard the news so quickly, but they were both red-faced and breathless with emotion.” GB SPORTS, SKRam, Highgate and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
