My opinion on this sad Chelsea saga is sometimes you have to change the so called "plan, project or process" or whatever you want to call it. I have no idea what conclusions they will arrive at come the end of the season but to my mind, sometimes you just have to put your hand up say "you know what, we f***ed it up." Unlike some I think we have some very good players most of whom are not performing.
I think they will stick with LR, mainly because they will not want to admit to another mistake.

He's awful. I don't think there's been worse.

I have no idea how his performance as manager compares to managers of the past or some of our most recent managers.
At the moment, he looks shell-shocked, and the players look completely lacking in confidence.
My guess is the next home game will be crucial.

Tom, I agree with you. There is no plan or project. The owners don't really understand football. I hope they reflect on that at the end of the season. In my view, the present hierarchy needs to go. The owners need to find a Director of Football who can change the current strategy to move the club forward. I have absolutely no knowledge about FDs, perhaps, Ed001 might have some suggestions.As for LR, you are right, if the current SDs remain, he will be here next season and get the sack in November when the options for a replacement are limited and more of the same.Unless there is an absolute cull at the end of the season we are doomed to mid table mediocrity.
{Ed001's Note - I am hoping you hop in for Richard Hughes before he heads to the Saudi league.
Really, the key thing is you need just one person making the decisions, first and foremost. For a project like Chelsea, Rangnick would probably be the best.}
