Abramovich wants attractive football yet he obviously doesnt do his research when appointing some managers. Chelsea fans wanted sarri and his brand of football gone early doors. Yes he may have won them a trophy and got CL but do you want to go to games where it becomes a chore to watch football.

You realise Roman doesn't have anything to do with hiring coaches don't you lol

Why would he not have a say in hiring a new manager? Allegedly it was lewis that picked poch to be our manager. Roman seems to have been far more involved at chelsea.

Because he's not involved with the day 2 day running of the club.

Talk about The Poisoned Chalice....If I were Frank I'd be flattered but not fooled. It's far too soon in his managerial career and if it implodes could ruin his managerial reputation for years to come.

Think the most embarrassing thing is rival fans calling Frank Lampard 'Fat Frank'
Professional footballer won more than anyone could ever dream of and was at the very top of his game for years, he could be many things, but definetly not Fat, its embarrassing.

Yeah, he will go into exile at Celtic like Rodgers.

Tbf to Fat Frank, he did look like a transitioning lesbian when he was a young player.

Not fat, but certainly quite wide.

Yeah but he was a bit of a chubster in his younger days. Not quite 'big fat Johnny Hartson' levels but the illiteration kinda rolled off the tongue and stuck.

Not sure that's really a fair assessment to be honest. Sarri's Napoli were in many people's opinion the most exciting/attractive team to watch in Europe. People talk about how Sarri-ball is crap but they never played that way properly at Chelsea, whether it's because he didn't have the players suited to it or didn't manage to get them to buy into his system is up for debate, but if I understand you correctly you're saying Sari plays boring football and Chelsea should've known that before they appointed him, but that couldn't really be any further from the truth to be honest.

If the transfer ban holds up then he already has an excuse.

Mad they've got rid of Sarri. He didn't really stand a chance in this country with their fans or the media because he wasnt some young, handsome, talks a load of new age football bollocks type of manager. There's a reason why the best team in Italy want him.

I don't know why I've found myself defending him a couple of times since he's been there. Maybe because he seems a fairly decent guy and Chelsea football club are just scum. Yeah, I guess thats it!

I felt for him in the league cup final with that whole Kepa thing. The writing has been on the wall since, regardless of how the season went. Player power will always win out at Chelsea it seems.

He will go to Chelski for sure, and I am even more sure he will fcuk it up. Gotta to feel for Derby, he has only been there a year and as soon as his old club Chelsea come sniffing he is off or so it seems. It is very rare that ex players become good managers, didn't' work for us with Ossie or Glenn, and it certainly not working for Ollie at United. Can't see Fat Frank doing any better at Chelsea to be honest
