There's a shock! City are the richest club and as a result have the best lawyers. The disappointment for the Chelsea fans has to be the way in which Lampard was party to engineering a move to City whilst trying to make it look like an unforeseen outcome to an entirely different deal.
How unfortunate? Chelsea said they didn't want to extend his contract and gave him leave to sort out his future as best he sees it. I don't think there's one Chelsea fan here that isn't grateful for what Frank has done for this club. He has been a credit on and off the field with us and without us. He is the ultimate professional, I for one wish him luck going forward whether its with City or in the USA so a very large fail on your part for an amateur wumming attempt.
I don't have to, like all you northern fans from Guilford and the home counties if you have a player as great as Lampard was leave you within half a breathe you'd be issuing death threats and torchings.
Completely wrong Polar Bear. Not you, but the whole Lampard affair. If this is not stomped on, it won't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out the next move by Club owners. End of FFP, end of those pesky transfer rules, end of those annoying tax problems, especially if the "Sports Companies" are registered and paid in the British Virgin Islands or Monaco , which have excellent facilities to moor large boats. Surprised it took so long for someone to work this little winner out.
