Chelsea ace Frank Lampard admits Roman Abramovich steamed into the players after the dismissal of Andre Villas-Boas.
Abramovich blamed the players for getting AVB the sack and Lampard accepts the Russian billionaire had the right to say what he felt. But the writing was on the wall for the young boss once Abramovich started making regular trips to the training ground.
"Roman hadn't been to the training ground in quite a while and the Press made a lot of it, which was understandable in the circumstances.
"He obviously wasn't happy with us and I agree with that.
"He's right to say 'I'm the owner and I expect a level of play higher than we're getting'. No one can argue with that, nor would they. You need that pressure at a top club." Lamps admitted to the Sunday Sun: "Anyone at any club will tell you that when the owner turns up you jump a bit.
