You should never have tried the style change with Cech/Terry/Lampard etc, they were a squad fully programed in one trick and trying to turn them into a possession based pressing side was idiotic.
When you appointed Sarri it was different, you had players that wanted to play that type of football and/or were young enough to learn a new trick plus this era is more an era for the high pressing possession as opposed to pragmatism hence the likes of Mourinho, Ancelotti, Benitez restricted to going to clubs they wouldn't have been seen dead at ten years ago!
The past 3 (permanent) appointments...had any of them still been in charge with their strategies, signings and short-termist idealist approach, would have set the club back years into chaos and ultimately oblivion.
Thankfully the hierarchy came to their senses and moved in the direction of appointing the best possible Chelsea affiliated manager that is laying the groundwork to galvanise the club, attract the right personnel/profile and making headway on sustainable (smooth) progression.
Giving the club and supporters a much needed boost.
For Neil Bath to publicly commend the impact and commitment Frank has made within a couple months of being appointed, speaks volumes about the effect aura made around the club within a short space of time, unprecedented.
Current management is making sure Bath' magnificent effort over the past decades don't go to waste.
Frank is intent on not making the same errors that the previous managers did by alienating standout young talent, which results in them leaving the club and becoming elite elsewhere (De Bruyne...the most pertinent example).
I'm thrilled that Chelsea is rescued from the depths of any further damage and despair caused by predecessors.
Such mistakes wont happen again under current management, due to making youngsters believe/know that there is a pathway and they have a chance breaking through.
Hence you see a plethora of youth signing new contracts almost instantly on Frank (+ Jody) return, when it looked for sure that they'd leave permanently before that.
The type of managers that don't have inherent belief in developing (standout) young players and lack the foresight to realise that youth could help them achieve their goals in short and long-term, only interested in using and buying experienced (mostly) middling players are the absolute worst.
Special place in hell for them.
