Frank Lampard was dismissed as Chelsea boss on Monday morning and his hefty fine list could follow him out the door.
During his first season at the club a photo of a framed, printed list of fines was leaked online. At the bottom Frank Lampard had signed the sheet.
The total list of fines came to around £53,500, with punishments for tardiness and wearing the wrong kit.
Players would receive a £2,500 fine if they reported late for training but a hefty £20,000 punishment if they were late for the start of the session.
Other fines included £5,000 for not travelling back on the team coach, unless 48 hours notice was given, and £1,000 for reporting to duty in the wrong attire.
To make matters worse, any fine that was not paid within 14 days was doubled.
It is safe to assume that another fine list for this season followed the leaked one from the 2019/20 term. However, with Thomas Tuchel announced as Lampard's replacement on Tuesday afternoon, a new set of rules and fines may come in.
The German brings in plenty of experience having managed big stars such as Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain. And will likely have his own methods for punishing players.
"I would like to thank Chelsea FC for their confidence in me and my staff," he said after being appointed.
"We all have the greatest respect for Frank Lampard’s work and the legacy he created at Chelsea.
"At the same time, I cannot wait to meet my new team and compete in the most exciting league in football. I am grateful to now be part of the Chelsea family - it feels amazing!"
