“It was an easy decision for me to make when the opportunity arose to come back to Stamford Bridge,”

“It was a difficult time for everyone here, and when I have the chance to try and help, I was immediately prepared to do so, given my feeling and affection for the club.

“It was about trying to make any positive impact that I could and it has obviously remained a tough period. I have a big understanding of this club because I played here and managed here before, so I knew the standards that we needed to get the success that we’ve had over many years.

“My feeling was that it would be a benefit if I could get that across to some of the players - whether we’d see it immediately or not - and help them to understand what’s demanded here.

“That’s how I saw my role here and hopefully I can leave it in a position where I have helped to push it towards those standards that we all want to see here going forward.”

“It was tough to leave as manager during the pandemic. So, even after this short period at the club, it will be nice to have the opportunity to say goodbye properly, in front of you, and say thank you for all the support. It is a big deal for me.

“I want to thank the owners for the opportunity, as well as my staff - who are all Chelsea people and have come back to try to help the club during this period - and also the wider staff for their hard work alongside us. I wish everybody at the club success going forward.”

Class act from a club legend. Stepped in when we needed it most. Cheers Frank. Best of luck if you decide to stay in management. 

 

Well, at least he had the balls. 

Thank you Frank, we still love you.

The issue at the club is far deeper than Frank, maybe far deeper than even Pochettino, let's hope it sorts itself out before then!
