Fans react as Chelsea part ways with Frank Lampard

Chelsea have confirmed on their official site that they have parted ways with manager Frank Lampard.

The 42-year-old was under massive pressure following a poor run of results in December and January. A miserable run of just three wins in ten games saw us cede ground in the Premier League title race.

In the statement, Chelsea admitted that Lampard has failed to meet the club’s expectations leaving them with no choice to come to what was a difficult decision to make. With the lack of any clear way forward, the club appears to have had little choice.

Softening the blow?

In a never before seen gesture from Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea oligarch has penned a farewell message to the outgoing Lampard.

A man notorious for firing managers, Lampard is now the 14th Blues boss to serve under Abramovich.

The Russian billionaire admits that dismissing Lampard was not an easy decision. All the more so given the pair’s close friendship and mutual respect.

“He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers.”

Abramovich, however, could not turn a blind eye to circumstances and had to make the call. He went on to add that Lampard would be welcomed back at Stamford Bridge, a place where he blossomed into one of the best players in the world.
