That's why Pep was happy to sell

Almost funny how, despite spending £100m's on attacking players, they look utterly toothless up front.
Can't help but feel it's an American owner not understanding how sport outside of America works.

They brought loads of players who can play wide or just behind the frontman they don't actually have

31 defeats in 40 Prem games for Frank Lampard now
Fucking hell what a record. Serious reputational damage there...
He talks a good game so he should really consider a career in punditry rather than management

He needed time though. That's why I think he was a ill-fit. The likes of Chelsea and Spurs etc, want instant success and Potter is the type of manager who needs to time to instil his methods. He was at Brighton for 3 years.
It was a bad move for him.

He doesn't/shouldn't need the money surely after his career as a player...

No but why not rake in more while you can. He can join the same circuit as Bruce and Allardyce

I think most managers would struggle at the Chelsea circus with a big squad of international footballers who will all want to play. A scattergun approach to buying players without filling the 1 position that was needed. Meanwhile Lukaku is out on loan although they probably couldn't recall him. Maybe Potter was the right man, the wrong man is whoever is in charge of buying players.

To an extent its true but Chelsea had 10 points by the time Tuchel was dismissed. Take that start away and they are a relegation form team and have been since then
Yes definitely.
Hiring Potter was a sensible decision.
Sacking him after 20 league games was a ridiculous decision.
Even more ridiculous to then give the job back to Lampard, short term or not

Can't believe this has been confirmed. Apparently Big Sam was "shocked" to get offered the job which bodes well for his prep...

I actually thought you were joking, until I opened the article.
I hope they get relegated.

Says a lot about that end of the table when Leeds have lost 6-1, 5-1 and 4-1 twice in the last month and their goal difference is still enough to keep them out of the relegation zone

Would be happy if the PL agreed and accepted the top 5 teams in the Championship as replacement

I didn't realise all of the players he had a Derby. Tomori, Mount, Lawrence etc.
Guessing this made his managerial skills appear better than they were.

Was just thinking Leeds and Leicester have been laughably bad yet somehow there are still 3 teams currently even worse.

tbf it was Mount's first season in this country (played a season before at Vitesse with Dabo!), and arguably Lampard has made him the player he's become.

Let's do it and replace them with the top five in the championship

"I might be 68 and look old, but there's nobody ahead of me in football terms…. not Pep, not Klopp, not Arteta. It's all there with me. I shared it with them, they did what they do, I do what I do. In terms of knowledge, and depth of knowledge, I'm up there. I'm not saying I'm better, but I'm certainly as good as they are"
Big Sam everybody!

I've just seen this which is mental:
Phil Foden's goal was the 1,000th scored under Pep Guardiola at City. The manager's side has accumulated that many goals in 404 games and so they are averaging 2.48 goals per game.
