Getting lampard out doesn't change anything. Chelsea needs a top to bottom culture change.
yup reading that athletic article
Lampard wanted the club to sign West Ham midfielder Declan Rice and pushed for him again ahead of January. But some at the club had reservations about re-signing the player who was released from the academy as a teenager.
In December The Athletic were told: “He needs to stop pushing for Rice or he’ll lose his job. The hierarchy are very wary about the potential embarrassment of buying back an academy reject at huge expense.”
Lampard was looking to move defender Antonio Rudiger on, an individual thought to be held in high regard by the Chelsea hierarchy.
Defenders earmarked to go were Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso and Rudiger. There was even talk that Lampard was open to the idea of captain Cesar Azpilicueta departing.
