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? 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.
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.
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
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)

"Sorry, Glyn. It's not working out".
"Rather than sacking you, are you prepared to leave by mutual consent?"
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.

shocking manager that took 6 points off of us
Bet that one could be interesting
would arrogant male footballers listen to a female manager?
