The Chelsea Supporters Trust have released a statement in reaction to Frank Lampard's sacking today.

Supporters had a banner installed at Stamford Bridge for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Luton which read: "In Frank We Trust. Then. Now. Forever." The feeling in the boardroom was not mutual.

The club legend still had the firm backing of supporters however, and following the confirmation of his sacking the Supporters' Trust took to Twitter and said: "Absolutely gutted.

"Frank Lampard is, and always will be, a legend of Chelsea Football Club."
