Few people know Chelsea like Frank Lampard. From the passion with he speaks about the club, the honour he feels to represent the west London side and the 13 years he spent at Stamford Bridge as a player to his commitment to winning and the success he earned. The 44-year-old has experienced both chaos and trophies.
It's impossible to ignore that the club that Lampard once knew has changed to a degree. There are new owners and new staff behind the scenes - though under Roman Abramovich there was also change but predominantly confined to the players and managers.
It is of course, rare to see Chelsea out of contention for trophies with the Blues left at 2-0 deficit in their quest for the Champions League glory against Real Madrid, out of the FA Cup and sitting 11th in the Premier League. In such circumstances change will be both scrutinised and judged - some may even see Chelsea as a different club.
