Romours of Lampard sack have been flying all over the news following his poor EPL outings.

But, announcing his sack on Monday, Chelsea billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich admit it was a difficult decision.

“This was a very difficult decision for the club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him,” he said.
