Vi tilhører heiagjengen til Frank Lampard, men har måttet innse at oppsigelsen på mandag må oppleves som helt naturlig i en klubb som Chelsea. Da Lampard takket ja til jobben, hadde han større erfaring enn noen andre med hvordan en manager behandles på Stamford Bridge.
Men det hindrer oss ikke fra å være noen dager i sørgemodus. På mandag kveld tok Lampard selv avskjed gjennom en melding på instagram. Fotballens gentleman forlot Chelsea-supporterne på samme måte som han har oppført seg gjennom fotballkarrieren.

Vi har valgt å ikke rote inn vår oversettelse i avskjeden:
-It has been a huge privilege and an honour to manage Chelsea, a club that has been a huge part of my life for so long.
-Firstly, I would like to thank the fans for the incredible support that I have received for the last 18 months. I hope they know what that means to me.

-When I took on this role I understood the challenges that lay ahead in a difficult time for the football club.
-I am proud of the achievements that we made, and I am proud of the Academy players that have made their step into the first team and performed well. They are the future of the club.
-I am disappointed not to have had the time this season to take the club forward and bring it to the next level.
-I want to thank Mr Abramovich, the board, players, my coaching team and everyone at the club for their hard work and dedication, especially in these unprecedented and challenging times. I wish the club and the team every success in the future.
Thanks.
