Chelsea thread 2020/21

Well if the players see that they have to challenge for the title this season that puts them under more pressure.

What will the Russian do if Chelsea finish 6th or worse sack another manager?

Abramovich has completely unrealistic expectations.

From a manager's point of view, it is a no brainer. Know exactly what is expected of you in a set time frame. Sign a lucrative contract for longer than that set period, which will be paid up if you get binned off. Achieve the results, great. Dont achieve the results, still great.

It's quite intriguing. At the moment Tuchel hasn't agreed to join and I can quite see why. Avramovich has sacked managers in mid-season on five occasions, including Frank. On two of those occasions he brought in Hiddink and in the others he brought in Benitez and di Matteo. Hiddink and Benitez went at the end of the season in which they were brought in. Only di Matteo survived into the season following his appointment. Despite finishing sixth in the PL he won the CL to earn a permanent contract, but even so he lasted only until the March of 2013. The longest lasting managers at Abramovich's Chelsea have lasted more than two years but never more than three!

So it will be interesting to see if Tuchel goes whether he goes on a contract initially only to the end of the season - in which case he may well face the sack if he doesn't finish in the top four - or whether he gets a "permanent" contract. Personally I'm not sure it makes much difference. Abramovich's "hire then fire" style appears to be a style much admired in his homeland where success reflects on the owner rather than his underlings so a "permanent" contract may be little more than reassurance to Tuchel's bank balance rather than a guarantee of survival beyond the end of the season.
 
Too soon to sack Lampard IMO - young squad with new players at many positions. Lampard got rid of their worthless Kepa and their squad is full of talent, albeit not performing atm.

Probably Chelsea still pick up 4th in the P/L this year based on squad strength/depth - continuity of management would put them in better position for next season.

But whatever - Chelsea's woes can only help us Citizens.

+1
With a fire-happy owner, and a squad not quite meshing... it's a risky career move taking the Chelsea manager post.
