Yep, don’t think he’s anywhere near proven enough for Chelsea job yet.
Derby have done okay but thin’k he still needs a bit more time.
Wonder if Mourinho might do a job as also seemed more right at Chelsea than Man U.
Wonder if Sarri would have left if Chelsea fans weren’t so negative to him - would he have been home sick anyway?
And how will Jorginho cope??

Jorginho has already gone on record saying it would be a betrayal (to Napoli fans, but still) if Sarri leaves. I'm sure he'll take it well.And how will Jorginho cope??

I would consider Frank Lampard (if appointed) as very much an interim manager. The Russian owner sees next season as being used to eat up the transfer ban and Frank is put in to please the fans and keep them sweet.
If Lampard does well he stays (well is top four)...if not he walks and another famous name comes in.

They really are going to give it to Lampard aren’t they?
Another “proper football man”. Sky will love this, unfortunately it means more of his mate Terry on tv I suspect. Interesting he doesn’t want him back at Chelsea though with him. He probably knows he will always be looking over his shoulder if he does, Terry would do anything to be Chelsea manager I suspect.

I also suspect the 'friendship' with Terry is not as strong as the media would have you believe....I think Drogba would be an excellent partner choice too.

Think Drogba would be a terrible choice.
Tough to know what he’d be like as a coach but as a player he was an impressive physical presence in the big games but drifted out of the lesser games far too often.
Was typical of the Chelsea ‘1 season on 2 seasons off style’

My assessment was of him as a potential coach....he's another massive Chelsea hero and I think he'd have a positive response from the squad....totally agree with your appraisal of him as a player though.

I find it difficult to decide with aspiring top managers just how well their last season went. Different clubs have differ strengths in their squads, different levels of injuries and suspensions, different amounts of luck both good and bad. I didn't follow Derby too much so don't know whether he got a team punching above it's weight or should have done better with the squad he had.
Having said all that, managing Chelsea carries a lot of danger and if he does decide to go there, I would question the wisdom of it so early in his career. If things don't work out it is likely to put his career plan back. However, I understand how hard it is to decline a high profile club if one comes along.

To be fair he took way too long to blood in Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi IMO and I'm still not sure he would have had the pressure not been building for him to do so but agree with the rest!

On the face of it, I think Sarri did a great job in his first season there. Surprised how much grief he got tbh.
Now it seems they're going for unproven Lampard. But I think they like the idea of bringing back Jody Morris just as much. Especially if they can't spend this summer, and are having to rely a little more on their own youth players.

Abramovich wants attractive football yet he obviously doesnt do his research when appointing some managers. Chelsea fans wanted sarri and his brand of football gone early doors. Yes he may have won them a trophy and got CL but do you want to go to games where it becomes a chore to watch football.
