I must have missed that post, my apologies.
To answer you questions, I based my view on the people I saw at the Bridge, the Chelsea fans in my life and what I saw on my timeline on twitter. I felt that was a broad enough group to ascertain that the vast majority were happy with Lampard. I do not frequent the Shed End. I think it's a piss poor forum so I can't speak to what they think over there.
It's not that I was delighted to have Lampard back because I think he's a good coach or anything but yes for me it was/is nice to have him back because he's Lampard and the season is in the mud anyway. I don't agree with your assessment of Boehly.
No not concerned at all.

Well, the game last night went pretty much how my family expected it to. No blue tinted glasses over the eyes of this jaded Chelsea fan.
I haven't read this thread in detail, but see that a few refer to us believing that Lamp's temporary appointment was a 'masterstroke'. I don't know a single Chelsea fan who thinks that. The reality is that we are currently in possibly the worst situation I can remember as a club - ever.
Lampard: we love him in the same way every club loves their heroes, but that doesn't mean we think he's a decent manager. He may become one with a lot more experience, but equally he may not. Either way, his current appointment to me is nothing more than a desperate reactionary move. As far as I'm concerned the problems at the club aren't going to be fixed this season, and so whether we have Lampard or Mickey Mouse at the helm for the rest of the campaign doesn't really make much difference.
If I had to sum my club up in one word right now: Chaos.

Seconded
Yeah but not just that. He struggled to stay in control of that PSG squad, and I know it's an absolute madhouse over there with all those superstars strutting around like they own the place but still, he looked like he was overwhelmed there. Another thing that bothers me about him is the way his team's play football. I watched a lot of PSG games. Very basic. Relies too much on individual brilliance. I think at the very least Enrique would set us up in a way that would allow us to control games and be solid defensively.

I'm not up to date with footy news is that who you're getting?
Good move for you if so.
I'd be nervous about Enrique. Aside from his successful stint with Barca he's been pretty underwhelming.
Nagelsmann is a gamble, but one I'd take. He's a modern coach who despite his tender age has been coaching for circa 15 years.

Not sure just yet but Enrique and Nagelsmann are the two we have been very heavily linked with. Enrique has supposedly already been in London and interviewed with Chelsea and he really wants the job. He would be my preference.

thumbs up,i know what forums are like, you only have to read the matchday thread on here to realise i shouldn't take anything off a fans forum as the truth :)
i do like frank, always have done, i wish him success with what he does, think it was an attempt by the muppet who owns you to get the fans onside though.
ps hope real madrid go through,for no other reason than playing an english club is not my idea of a european semi final.(plus we usual lose v english clubs in europe)
My biggest question mark against Nagelsmann is that he would be a little like Potter. He struggled to command respect in that Bayern dressing room. He's a bit of a odd guy by all accounts. I think he tried to be pals with some of the players and it didn't work.
I think it absolutely was a PR move to get the fans onside. But I don't think it was a mistake because as I said, the season is in the over anyway, we had 12 rather meaningless games left, might as well get a fan favourite in to be a placeholder for a few weeks.

Next Everton, this lot.
A total mess.

People said the same in when we finished 10th in 2016. We stormed back the following season and won the title. I prefer to think of us as a wounded beast :)
We'll come roaring back when we've gotten out house in order. Hopefully we get Enrique in early well before preseason, have a clear out of all the deadwood, and come flying out of the gate next season.
I agree. That's the part of opting for Nagelsmann that's a gamble.
However, I was onboard for the Potter experiment, knowing that it would likely take some time and some pain if it was going to come good. The problem with Potter in my estimation was that it was just too big a jump for him. I believe Nagelsmann is better equipped. That said, it's a risk as you rightly point out.
Nagelsmann might be better equipped than Potter but I think Enrique is better equipped than them both. He gives me Tuchel vibes, in that he's a strong personality, has clear ideas about how he wants his teams to play and there can be a tiny expectations that we can be improved almost straight away. With Nagelsman, I fear we would be back to 'oh he needs 8-12 months to implement his ideas' and I can guarantee you the fans will grow restless again. If the ownership can stay strong in the face of bad results and a restless fanbase who want the manager out, then yeah he could be a good appointment but my fear is he'll also be gone within 12 months.

Andy Jacobs the Presenter and Chelsea fan on TalkSPORT this afternoon described Sterling as ‘useless’. I think we may have sold him just at the right time.

It seems a strange decision to sack Potter if neither of your potential managers are available until the summer.
If either of Enrique or Nagglesmann are offered the job in the summer, will Bohley still be overseeing transfer dealings
Boehly stepped down from that role a while ago. I don't think he oversaw any of the transfers in January.
