a lot of people in here who clearly have no idea of the absolutely relentless dark cloud that depression puts on a person irrespective of wealth, love or health.

 

get educated, please.

He did a good job all things considered.  Champions league football, Europe league winners and got to the final of the carabao cup. 

 

Could be a rocky year for Chelsea if this 

embargo is upheld. Change of the "buy" philosophy in place is needed.

 

Think Lampard needs an extra year at Derby before stepping up.

They want to be careful what they wish for, a country mile below Liverpool and Man City so 3rd a cup final and winning the Europa league is a hell of an achievement no Hazard and a transfer ban think this is a team in decline

Transfer ban for one season won't or shouldn't affect them. Spurs didn't buy anyone last season. It's Hazard leaving that will affect them. All depends on how much Pulisic contributes. 

Hazard carried them, even if Pulisic has a good season he’s not getting 16 goals and 15 assists. Pedro and Willian are past it, Barkley, Kovacic (they’re making his loan permanent iirc) RLC and Jorginho aren’t impressive as options. They’ve got a fairly average keeper and LB too as well as relying on Abraham to step up.

 

Chelsea hounded Emenalo out but it’s been mostly downhill since then. Sarri did a very good job under the circumstances- the relative mess they’re in is entirely their own doing. Hopefully Lampard f ucks it and Abramovich clears off for our sake

Pulisic is ludicrously over hyped. Not a first team starter for BVB really. He's a 20m West Ham signing at best, replacing Hazard with him is like replacing Riyad with Ghezzal.

Am quite glad that Pogba is leaving the Premier League.

His attitude has mostly been poor whilst at Man United and usually under-performed.

Have a feeling he didn't want to be at Old Trafford in the first place tbh.

It's going to be a wrong move for both. at the end of the day... a club legend or not, Chelsea are going for a young unproven championship manager. Lampard needs to have a look at himself and think... one step at a time.

It's way too soon for him, happy to be proven wrong. But I think, as Terry is, Lampard should work his way up rather than jumping straight in at the deep end

I'll miss his haircuts though.

United should be glad to see the back of Pogba. 

 

Terrible attitude. Cult it personality that influences those around him to disrupt and down tools. 

 

Shame as he's obviously very gifted. I wouldn't take him down the KP,  though.

Olly at Utd, Lampard at Chelsea, it’s great to see ex players managing their clubs. Dragging them into mid table mediocrity, with limited managerial experience. Gives two more clubs a chance of breaking the top six

A weird form of nostalgia isn't it? 

 

Gone are the days of working through the pyramid on merit.

It comes across as big-headed, you only have to look at likes of Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche both doing well respectively and both worked there way up through the leagues. It's typical modern football superstars now snubbing the lower league teams, thinking there two big for them. Paul Scholes tried it and thought he was too big for it.

You look at most of the managers in the prem, all bar a handful have worked their way up the club ladder. Doesn't usually work when a player jumps straight into management at a big club. 

 

Scholes wasn't as simple as that though, when you look into it the owner was being involved way too much for a managers liking.

Have wolves signed any Portuguese players yet this summer?

I'd rather he stay until we sign Tielemans and THEN **** off though.

They aren’t really snubbing the lower divisions, if a big club offers you the managers job, it’d be silly to turn it down. Lampard starting at Derby wasn’t a bad choice. He did well for his first gig.

 

Players of that calibre, being at huge clubs playing for the best managers have a massive head start on other managers. 

 

I’m not saying the shouldn’t start at a lower level if that’s all that’s available, but they aren’t obliged to by any means if a bigger job comes up.

OGS was a bit of a weird one, given his shambles at Cardiff. Smacked of  desperation on Utd's part.

Think Lampard could work though. Derby could easily have come up, and he got them playing some decent stuff. He's bright, he knows the set-up at Chelsea and he's got a good crew.

Managerial appointments are always a bit of a shot in the dark - if experience further down the pyramid meant anything, Ian Holloway should have been a great success for us. Seem to remember the reality being somewhat different...
