‘Please be true’, ‘Brilliant’: Many Leeds fans thrilled as Phil Hay relays major Athletic update
It’s fair to say that Leeds United fans don’t get on with Frank Lampard after his time at Derby County.
First came Spygate and the way Lampard dealt with that before Derby got lucky to knock Leeds out of the play-off semi-finals.
A totally misjudged celebration from Lampard after the game cemented him as villain number one in the eyes of lots of Leeds fans.
They’ve been waiting for him to slip up at Chelsea and since his side outclassed Leeds, they’ve gone on a real slump – four defeats, one draw and just one win.
That’s left Lampard in real danger of the sack, according to The Athletic, with Chelsea now said to be looking at replacements.
That news was relayed by Phil Hay and plenty of Leeds fans reacted, taking great delight in the situation that Lampard finds himself in.
One said he thought it would be Lampard’s last job in management before hurtling into punditry for the rest of his career. That might be wishful thinking.
However, others were hoping that Lampard would stay and drag Chelsea down – at least until March 13, when his side travels to Elland Road.
He might not last that long if he doesn’t get something out of the visit to Fulham – his next Premier League game after hosting Morecambe in the FA Cup next Sunday.
Here are the best reactions from delighted Leeds fans…
