I think it's a pretty pragmatic short term fix tbh. Despite it ending badly before he's still a legend there, and if all concerned are happy it's only until June it might be fine.

I'm not entirely sure why people think he's a bad appointment as interim manager?

Everyone knows it's short term.

He's got 2 seasons getting top 4 with Chelsea, averages 1.8points per game, CL experience, knows a lot of the players and gets the fans on side.

What more do people want from a caretaker?

It's a desperate appointments by a club managed by desperate people.

I expect this club to be declared bankrupt in the near future.

He had little credibility as a manager and this crazy appointment has diminished that even further, I can see the one and only full kit wanker JT coming in as his No2 and full time cheer leader.

Without wishing to flog a dead horse, do you think this is a Boehly appointment, or have your two sporting directors done this?

Whatever happens, don't give up on the CL yet. Would be typical football if you guys win it and get back in that way. Because if you don't, you lose the money, have trouble with FFP and don't get the shiniest of new managers. All imho, of course.

I think it is the two sporting directors. At least that is what Matt Law reports.

Well, for one you’re not. Just like when you said it doesn’t matter that it’s two games difference from 7th, the same applies in the other direction as well.

I don't understand this post, sorry. I'm asking you what depths does Potter have to fall with Chelsea before you agree that it is okay to fire him? Clearly you don't think sitting in the bottom half in April is enough, so I'm asking you where you draw the line with Potter?

Ah but Kiddo was already working with/for the club.

Bruno Saltor did not want to be the caretaker beyond that one game, presumably because he is extremely close with Potter and wants to follow Potter to where he goes next. I can't think of an in house caretaker unless you pick one out of the U21/18 youth teams. We've hired external interims before (Hiddink x2 and Rafa) so it's not that weird to do it again. People are just laughing because it's Lampard.
 
There's far worse looming in the future for Chelsea than a few weeks of Frank Lampard. Let them enjoy it.
