    They don’t get a great rep, but it’s been pretty nice to see Chelsea fans being so overwhelmingly opposed to the Lampard sacking 

    They are? :o Maybe they should have made their voices heard before, not after, he was sacked.

    Why? That would not have made any difference, when did owners start listening to fans?

     Not at the moment because there’s no fans in the grounds but when Parky got the sack after the 4-2 home defeat to Swindon in January 2011 the chanting at the Valley that night for him to go was overwhelming. We had not won since the end of November and his days were probably numbered but that defeat and crowd reaction sealed his fate.

    As for keeping a manager in situ that is a much tougher task for the fans to achieve I grant you.

    Try telling that to the people who tweet Sandgaard every week telling him what to do.

    Sad individuals.
  • Since taking over Chelsea Abramovich has spent £110m on manager payoffs. 
    That’s before he’s sacked Lampard
    And we thought Meire was bad at making contracts!

    That's such a grotesque figure and waste of money.

    You'd think Chelsea would have learnt to stop giving such big long-term contracts to manager when it's obvious they'll last 1-2 years, not 3+.
    Chelsea are a joke of a club. Such delusions of grandeur about them
    They finished 4th last year then spent £220m in the summer.  I don't think it's unreasonable to view 9th (10th if Southampton draw or win their game in hand) as not good enough. 
    My comment is more how they sack managers in general. Nobody is ever given time to build anything there. It's win a trophy or be sacked. Also interesting to know how many of those summer signings were made at Lampard's request.
    I think the managers are given time, hence the long contracts when they become Chelsea manager.

    I think they back all of their managers, with that contract, & with signings, as they all want success from the top down.

    I see it that they are simply not scared when it comes to pulling the trigger, if they don't see their "project" going their way with results.

    It is a shame that managers (at all clubs these days really), don't get the time to truly build something, especially if they were the ones who started the building process.

    Obviously that is the age we are in now. Fast fixes, the desire for immediate reward.

    Maybe Curbs tenure would've been a lot different, had he been appointed in this era. 
  • Chelsea have confirmed Tuchel as their new Manager
  • Club chairman:

    "Sorry, Glyn. It's not working out".

    "Rather than sacking you, are you prepared to leave by mutual consent?" :smile:

  • Losing to the MK Dons presumably the clincher
  • Frank Lampard available now, that was the clincher
  • Fleetwood Town have appointed former Leeds, Huddersfield and Blackpool boss Simon Grayson as their new head coach.

    Grayson, 51, has agreed a deal to the end of the season and takes over with Fleetwood 14th in the table, nine points outside the play-off places.

    He has been out of work since February when he was sacked by Blackpool after a run of one win in 12 games.

    They had been after Anthony Barry, a former player and currently a coach at Chelsea, but he decided to stay put I assume
  • He's managed a few clubs.

    The "safe" option once their first choice turned them down. Phil Parkinson falls in that category too

    Jonathan Woodgate has been appointed Bournemouth first-team coach following the departure of Graeme Jones.

    He did a shocking job as Boro manager, a curious appointment

    He was a very highly rated coach, hence the promotion to manager. Not a surprise he has got another coaching job, the curious part will be will he replace their manager. Bournemouth are 6th, I wonder if the board are thinking about replacing him

    shocking manager that took 6 points off of us

    Odd that Bournemouth have no interest in getting promoted this season then.

    Why have Bournemouth got no interest in promotion?
  • Seems Emma Hayes (Chelsea Manager) is on the shortlist to be Wimbledon's next Manager

    Bet that one could be interesting

    Wimbledon mate reckons it’s not true. The odds on her were the same as Paul ince and sol Campbell, ince being an ex mk manager!!

    would arrogant male footballers listen to a female manager?

    at least she could double up as the kit man too ....
  • Chelsea's women play at Kingsmeadow, so the Wimbledon hierachy will presumably have met her a few times when they both played there
  • I don’t think Wimbledon could match what Hayes is on at Chelsea 
  • How fitting it would be for Pardew to fall from managing in the Premier League to the 4th tier of English football (as Wimbledon will be on current form)
