Chelsea fans 'won't begrudge Frank Lampard Manchester City move'

By , Reporter
Frank Lampard's proposed loan move to Manchester City won't see Chelsea fans go against their former player, according to the chair of a supporters group.

Chelsea fans are expected to be supportive of Frank Lampard if the former Blues vice captain moves to Manchester City on loan this season.

The ex-England international joined New York City FC on a two-year deal, but has been heavily linked with a temporary stint at the Etihad Stadium this season before playing in the MLS.

However, the chair of the Chelsea Supporters Group, Trizia Fiorellino, believes that Lampard will not get a raw deal from the Stamford Bridge faithful.

Fiorellino is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "You always get one or two idiots but the majority of fans will not go against him.

"It would be strange to see him in a Manchester City shirt but I could not begrudge him."

Her thoughts were echoed by former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin, who said that Lampard's status as a Chelsea legend would not be affected by his possible loan move to the Premier League champions.
