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

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.
