Manchester United legend Gary Neville has advised Frank Lampard not be surprised about his sacking, Daily Mail.
Neville reflected that Lampard was responsible for the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas after just nine months at the club.
Lampard’s sacking got some section of Chelsea fans angry and many believed the Englishman was not given enough time to turn things around at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel was immediately brought in and Neville believes it should not come as surprise to Lampard who was part of the senior players that engineered Villa-Boas sacking in 2012.
Daily Mail Neville saying on a podcast: “I think because of the rumours that came out of Stamford Bridge and the media before, it wasn’t really a shock. I thought initially he would get more time, just to let them settle in but you can’t be surprised by Chelsea.

“I go back Martin to in Napoli eight or nine years ago, when Villas-Boas had picked a team in the afternoon of a Champions League game. And he left out Frank Lampard, Michael Essien and another big player at that time.
“And I remember Chelsea players at that time ringing up members of the media and trying to get him out. And Frank was part of that group.
“Frank should be the least of all surprised because he has been at the club when Villas-Boas was sacked, Scolari, and all the rest of them have come and gone.”
