I think he meant that the biggest two signings were Germans who can still learn and develop. Rudiger was sidelined until very recently and Pulisic was given his Dortmund debut by Tuchel, with German football being key to his development.
I think it’s inevitable and I think Frank knows it.
Reading the Guardian yesterday by Jacob Steinberg, Tuchel, Ragnick, Nagelsman, Allegri and Hasnehuttl were names all mentioned. In the article it says "the hierarchy have started to consider succession plans"
Tuchel would be bad recruitment in Chelsea standards. But I think they Will be desperate enough to take him anyway with Poch at PSG now.
I’m really glad they don’t get Poch or even Ancelotti anyway. That could’ve been potentially threatening.
Maybe the best would be to write this season off and wait until the summer for Hasenhuttl or Nagelsmann.

I almost didn't want to watch it. Almost.
I some sympathy with Frank and haven't read the articles in question, but he has a much different demeanour than when Fergie was giving journos both barrels over shitty pieces and questions.
I read a few stories earlier about Pulisic saying he’d welcome Tuchel. I was at work and it came up on my phone and I’ve seen it on Twitter so can’t remember where it was but if true, regardless of how poor Lampard has been, that’s poor from Pulisic.
subvertly trying to take the blame away from Lampard.Honestly, I would rather they hire Tuchel than Nagelsman or Hasnehuttl or Rodgers. Not saying Tuchel is bad, rate him higher than Faver but I rate those three higher. Hasnehuttl in my opinion the one I scared the most because I think he knows how to get the best out of Werner (worked with him), knows how to bounce back from losing and already had PL experienced.
It’s a no brainer for them to go for Brendan but they won’t thankfully.
If Chelsea sack Lampard, then surely we have to accept the club is incapable of committing to any potential multi-year project and therefore someone like Nagelsmann won't make any sense because he too will require time and patience to implement his ideas. He is more experienced than Lampard but he is relatively inexperienced himself, and basically a completely novice when it comes to the attention and pressure that comes with managing big European club.
I hope they won’t get Tuchel, I really rate him and I think he would achieve great things with this squad.
He seems to be skipping under the radar similar to Conte did before he came here. I think he'll surprise people in a similar fashion aswell (not nesseserily win the league but have us looking really good).
I think Tuchel would do great at Chelsea with the talent they have, but I've no doubt him and Roman are a horrible match long term. But I think no one expects a "dynasty" type setup there, win a few trophies then you're out, but it works for them.
Tuchel's record suggests that he is a horrible long term match with any owner/DoF. Might make even his negatives a good fit for Chelsea, with both the club's and the manager's inability for long term relations, as you point out too.
I hope it’s not Rodgers. He knows the league and has already worked well with good players and big clubs. He came close to winning the league once and might come close or even win it this season.
Rafa has just become available. He is odds on?
He's already got a connection with Chelsea too doesn't he? Wasn't he working under Jose at one point?
Rafa has just left the Chinese side he’s coached for 18 months. Coincidence?
According to Transfermarkt he coached their U18 and Reserves for a few years. I didn’t even know that.
Chelsea fans will cry if Rafa is made their manager for the 2nd time!
Sacked
Stop crying Frank Lampard...
Roman doesn’t hang around when it comes to making decisions.
If he hadn't so obviously shown how rattled he was in his press conference I think he might have got more time.
It's happening.
He was clearly out of his depth there. He took the Chelsea job way too soon.
Bad news for everybody except Chelsea
Mason Mount will need a cuddle.
I still believe had he gone for the patient route in squad building, he would have been fine. If you're spending 250m in a window, you really need to be at the top or in the title race at the very least
I agree. 1 year at Derby County and then he's given one of the biggest jobs in football because he was a club legend.
I know Ole isn't showered with accolades but at least he's done a few rounds in football.
feck 
Yeah that's a good point. I'm still not sure what their transfer strategy was. Havertz and Werner are looking like two of biggest flops in PL history right now.
5 points off top 4, in the FA cup and CL going into Feb, with a first 11 that has what, half the the first 11 in their first season in English football.
I’m not saying they’re doing particularly well, but it seems like they could have given him more time.

Shit, keep him damn it.
Wow
Wait for the tards to come out with a line like this is how big clubs act when pointing that we should have sacked Ole a year ago

No doubt hes underperformed with them this year, but this is a bit premature no?
Nooooo
