Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola claims the only currency that matters in the current game is results.
Frank Lampard has become the latest rival to lose his job at Chelsea, despite finishing fourth in his first season in charge and being top of the table last month.
"People talk about projects and ideas," he said. "They don't exist. You have to win or you will be replaced.
"I am not judging Chelsea's decision. I respect their decision. But our world is to win as much as possible. The sporting directors and CEOs want things quickly but every manager needs time to do what they believe. That happens in a few places around the world. In one month you can drop everything you build because other teams have good players too. Then you are at risk.
"I hope to see Frank soon and go to a restaurant with him when lockdown is finished."
