Crikey

BBC report says: He spent more than £200m on seven major arrivals in the summer of 2020, including £45m on Leicester's Ben Chilwell and £71m on midfielder Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Wiki says: It was reported Lampard's (Jan '21) departure was also influenced by disagreements with the club's transfer policy; Lampard is said to have requested the acquisitions of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Declan Rice, and James Tarkowski, with these moves being blocked by Chelsea's co-director Marina Granovskaia. Lampard also reportedly fell out with or had limited communication with some players, causing former teammate and club advisor Petr Čech to have to serve as an intermediary.

So they spent £200 mil on players and he had a strop because that wasn't enough? Then he had a falling out with the team to the point that they weren't on speaking terms.

Doesn't fill me with confidence to be honest.
