Lampard is a legend, and he always will be, Chelsea fans will forever adore him and have a real affection for him. He is in their top 5 greatest players of all time without a doubt, probably even in the top 3.
Lampard took some time out and away from the cameras after the sacking, but he has finally been speaking at length in an eye opening interview with his cousin Jamie Redknapp via The Daily Mail, and he speaks about his sacking and Roman Abramovich for the first time.
It’s an emotional read, but it does settle some open wounds some Chelsea fans may still have…
Jamie Redknapp said: “Abramovich is the sort of owner who stays silent. He’s never spoken out after sacking a manager before, but he made an exception for you, Frank. He released a statement to say how much respect he had for you and what a difficult decision it was.”
Lampard replied: “I loved that. I could never sit here and say I have anything but appreciation for what he did for my career. I was disappointed because I felt we could change things. I saw games coming up as opportunities to get points.
“Your pride takes a hit. There is no doubt about it. That’s human. But with reflection, I would have been absolutely naive to think it would be any different for myself than it had been for managers in the past.
“History says Chelsea make changes and sometimes they have real success off the back of it. It was never for me to go against their model. I have full appreciation to Roman for the opportunity. I can only look forward.”
