Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola could end up accumulating quite the cost if he was to invite every manager sacked by Chelsea out for dinner.
Back in January 2021, the Spaniard admitted he hoped to meet with Frank Lampard over dinner following the Blues legend's dismissal from his post in the Stamford Bridge hot seat. Prior to his public invitation, Guardiola made a comment that still rings true more than two years down the line in regard to the way managers are treated, particularly in west London.
"People talk about projects and ideas, but they don't exist - you have to win or you'll be sacked," the four-time Premier League winner said. "I respect the decision by Chelsea, but hopefully I can see Frank soon, take him to a restaurant to see him again when lockdown is over."
