Steven Gerrard Slams Chelsea Over Lampard Sack

Rangers coach Steven Gerrard has slammed Chelsea F.C for not been patient with former manager Frank Lampard.

The Englishman was fired as manager of Chelsea due to the poor performances delivered by the team.

The Liverpool legend has shown his displeasure for the fact that the club did not stick with their manager during a crisis.

“I’m gutted for Frank, he’s an ex-friend of mine, someone I respect greatly. Knowing the guy he’ll be back before no time.

“He’ll dust himself down and he’ll get ready to get back involved. I think he’ll use this time to spend with his family, he’s obviously got a young family and one on the way.

“I’m disappointed for him. I thought it was a very swift exit on the back of a positive result at the weekend.

“I don’t know how it’s been with him, the relationships that he’s had inside the club. But I did think it was an opportunity for Chelsea to reach out and support him during this tough period of results, rather than do what they’ve done.

“But Chelsea has got a history for that, so it was no surprise.”
