Never wanted Lampard as he clearly wasn't ready. But he came and deserved a free hit last season, he deserved and got credit for capitalising on other teams being shit and getting us top 4. This season we needed to see drastic improvements and we simply aren't.
The club has backed him with a ridiculous amount of money, we're 4 points worse off than last season, 2 places worse off, he's got 130m of attacking talent he has no idea what to do with. We're behind Villa, who scraped survival last season, and we've played TWO more games
End of the day, he is still yet to show anything to suggest he's going to be a success here. It remains the case that we have a manager learning on the job and the reality is he may never become good enough for Chelsea, nevermind in the next few years. It was a stupid appointment
A certain section of this fanbase hated Sarri so much they simply wanted a manager they liked even if he was plucked from the championship and they've spent the past 1 and a half years fighting Lampard's corner and even if Lampard gets sacked they won't admit he wasn't ready
