We as managers know that in those difficult patches the consequences that can be.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think we all have to big enough to understand that. As a football club they\u2019re in a difficult patch, they have a chance to be able to get something out of the season with the FA Cup and the league position if they can make that better.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But it\u2019s Chelsea\u2019s business. Chelsea are a big part of my life, but at the moment it\u2019s their business and my business is here.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Asked for a message to worried Coventry City fans, Lampard replied: \u2018I\u2019d like to think Coventry fans are just enjoying what we\u2019ve done through this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think the world of management, a lot of things are out of your control, all you can do is control your work. I have to come and speak to you about rumours, but at the minute I think we should just enjoy where we are.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s been an amazing season, I\u2019m really proud and pleased to be a part of it. I enjoy doing what I\u2019m doing. I can\u2019t control who worries or not, I would say just enjoy this because it\u2019s a special year.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Speaking earlier this week, Coventry City owner Doug King said that he felt Lampard has now found his \u2018happy place\u2019 after guiding the club to promotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s done a fantastic job, it\u2019s been an incredible 18 months for us and for him. I am sure he\u2019s in reflective mode. I said to him \u2018do not underestimate how difficult what you\u2019ve just achieved is to do\u2019,\u2019 King told BBC CWR.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SEI_294152539-6f9f.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=646\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28102465\" alt=\"EDITORIAL USE ONLY No use with unauthorised audio, video, data, fixture lists, club\/league logos or \" live=\"\" services.=\"\" online=\"\" in-match=\"\" use=\"\" limited=\"\" to=\"\" images=\"\" no=\"\" video=\"\" emulation.=\"\" in=\"\" betting=\"\" games=\"\" or=\"\" single=\"\" club=\"\" publications.=\"\" mandatory=\"\" credit:=\"\" photo=\"\" by=\"\" ryan=\"\" browne=\"\" frank=\"\" lampard=\"\" manager=\"\" of=\"\" coventry=\"\" city=\"\" v=\"\" portsmouth=\"\" efl=\"\" sky=\"\" bet=\"\" championship=\"\" football=\"\" building=\"\" society=\"\" arena=\"\" uk=\"\" apr=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Frank Lampard guided Coventry City to the Championship title this week (Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s done huge things in his playing career but to get out of this league as champions without a parachute payment, from where we\u2019ve come from, is a huge achievement nobody can take away from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everybody is going to get linked with everything, it\u2019s a merry-go-round.
