Frank Lampard says Roman Abramovich changed his life — so the Chelsea owner does NOT owe him anything.

Yet Stamford Bridge’s under-pressure gaffer believes he has done well enough to avoid becoming the latest managerial casualty of the billionaire’s 18-season reign.

Lampard said: “It is his prerogative. When he came to Chelsea, it made my career because maybe I would have gone on elsewhere, or whatever would have happened in my personal career.

“But fortunately I was at a club that had an owner that changed the face of it and changed my life.

“But I don’t think that should give me any head start and the job I did last year, in one year, to get us to fourth was a huge positive because of the constraints.

“After that, now I need to go again.”
