At the end of the day any manager in the world would have failed in that environment. Which makes it all the more satisfying considering that Graham left such a good thing for such a doomed project. It also bodes well that Chelsea are going to be a basket case for several years to come.

Chelsea have opened talks with Frank Lampard over a stunning return as interim manager as they continue to search for a permanent replacement for Graham Potter. Lampard is ready to help on a short-term basis at the club where he played for more than a decade and was sacked as head coach in January 2021.

After his Everton chaotic assignment, Fat Frank can carry on the good work that agent Potter started at Chelsea.

It’s fine, he understands the club and the level expected apparently. (Not withstanding that they sacked him!)
I’ve booked marked a couple of tweets to refer to once he doesn’t do any better.
Quite dangerous appointing a club legend as the fans will turn on the owner if it doesn’t work out this time.
I don’t think Toddy has thought this through

Seems to be loads of excuses why Potter failed apart from Potter himself. Is it really that hard of a job having a squad of talented players to choose from each week. There was no need to play Chelsea players out of position many of them are some of the best in their natural positions. No need for them to suffer and it’s a process it’s all crap for his own failings.
RDZ has took hold of his previous squad even losing Trossard in the process and super charged them with the belief they can beat anyone and achieve great things. No excuses or history lessons required.
I also doubt Mitoma would be the Mitoma we are watching today under Potter.

Frank Lampard is set to be appointed interim Chelsea manager until the end of the season - just over two years after the club sacked him.
He has been out of a job since January when he was dismissed by Everton after less than a year in charge.

This is unlikely to end well 
The guy is a useless manager, so I think we can write off Chelsea this season, Lampard has no chance of bringing 30+ over hyped players together. I hope Bruno loves working under him, the snake.

That is absolutely mental. As has been mentioned earlier, they've tried to copy the Brighton model by buying our people, but then haven't actually tried to mirror our approach.
It's pretty clear even to those outside the club that one of the key parts of our model is succession planning. And they don't seem to have given that a passing thought.

I wonder if he will be able to keep them in mid table

Have they got enough points to stay up?

Clearly they’ve totally given up on this season and I’m very confident that we’ll beat them in a fortnight

A good move by them. Appointing someone who can at least get the fans off the players back.
He will get them more points from now till the end of the season that Potter or bruno would
Struggling along with a total novice was never a real option
Now, will bruno get his payout?

Well it's simple math really.
You sack Frank and replace him with Tuchel, then you sack Tuchel and replace him with Potter, then you sack Potter and replace him with...Frank. It's the associative property of football management. Or is it the communitive property? Maybe it's some kind of quantum uncertainty? We could ask a cat, but Zouma kick them all out.
Or maybe it's the circle-of-life?
