Apparently, City are getting investigated by UEFA because of it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2904903/Manchester-City-face-new-cash-probe-network-global-companies-sharing-financial-losses.html

Good finally a investigation because in my eyes, they are avoiding the FFP and if we did the same thing we would be all over the media, and a fine. I bet any money on it.

Their owner looks like a right gimp, so glad Roman owns us.

Mourinho's said that we offered him a new contract, Frank said we didn't. Who's lying? There's no concrete evidence at all in that statement.

The problem here is not that Mourinho lied but rather the sentences are taken out of context and do not read the full statements:

"They were offered new deals. We were in this process until the end, but you arrive into a moment where you ask what’s the best for the team? What’s the best for the other players? What’s the best for them? And it depends also on their mentality."

Mourinho said he was offered a new contract, but in those same statements he also said the club had to think about what was best for the team. My theory is that is that not yet reached an agreement and the club decided to withdraw the offer of renewal. So both statements had make sense.

Not much to say anymore. The writing is one the wall. I don't hate the bloke, but I can't say I"m not disappointed. I'm still a huge fan and supporter of the player I got to watch for so many years, but I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the man himself.

Seeing these guys on chelsea shirt is like a girl who sucked stinky smell **ck on her mouth and got oversize **ck load onto her butt hole at the same time

Weird to see all the Lampards hating. But there no way a club legend can justify his actions when he manipulated and cheated a whole lot of people.

Now, everyone knows who their favourite player is- John Terry.

I still believe we could have given him a one year extension. This whole City situation is happening because he wanted to play another year and we just did not offer him that. Say what you want but that is kind of messed up from our side as well.

We could have really used him in the squad this season. He would have been the perfect squad player for us( same role he has at City.) Also I am sure it must have hurt him to see the club re-sign Drogba but not extend his contract. I would not say he took revenge but maybe just felt a little disrespected. Lampard and I think most of us here knew that he still had a season left in him and instead of sacrificing that away, he chose to continue playing.

He could have gone to another league like Cole but perhaps a change of league was not worth it for him.

That's not true, or at the very least there is no proof for that. There is some inconclusive proof that we did offer him a contract as Jose said and some reports claimed in Feb-March of last year, but there is zero proof, to my knowledge, that he was not offered a new contract. Not even Frank himself has come out and explicitly said that he was not offered a new contract.

It is very hard at this moment. But if we won the PL this season and then Lampard no longer at City somehow, I think some will get 'softer' toward him.

One of the players in this picture is someone who gave their all to Chelsea even when things didn't go well.

The other is Frank Lampard.

Already it seems such a long time ago since these two were wearing the #8 and #9 though.

Honestly we might never know but I highly doubt he would reject an extension because clearly he wanted to play another season in the premier league.

According to me-

We did not offer him an extension and he chose to go to the MLS but later changed his mind when he got to know about Drogba's return.

As I eluded to in a post above, the issue was with wages. The contract that we offered him was rumored to be on reduced wages while he is now supposedly on a higher wage at City than he ever was at Chelsea.

Exactly

I don't think anyone here "hate's" Lampard, we hate Man City, their Manager, their owner, and the fact he lied to us and played for them. It's like when your girlfriend or partner splits up with you, deep down you are hurt to bits and don't like her but you still love her.
