Irate Chelsea supporters have made their frustrations with the sacking of Frank Lampard known by hanging a banner outside one of the entrance gates at Stamford Bridge which reads 'circus continues'.
Club legend Lampard was dismissed by the Blues on Monday morning, with the club since announcing former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel as his replacement.
And while the club felt the decision was necessary given their torrid run of five defeats in their last eight Premier League games and their position of ninth in the table, some fans appear less convinced and have protested outside the stadium.
The supporters hung the banner on the Bovril Gate on the southern side of Stamford Bridge, while smoke bombs were also let off as fans let their anger at the decision to sack a club legend be known.
The picture has emerged just hours before German boss Tuchel's first game in charge of the Blues at home to Wolves.
Tuchel - who had been out of a job for four weeks after being sacked by PSG around Christmas - took his first training session on Tuesday and is now tasked with closing the 12-point gap with league leaders Manchester City.

Sorry Frank ☹️☹️. I was now enjoying your team performance. I switched from Man City to Chelsea after your third game in charge knowingly it was a foundation you was building. But strange things happens . Looking forward to supporting your next team. I am back to Man City. Be optimistic , stay safe, stay focused. A St. Lucian fan of yours. I remember the goal Frank scored in a world cup that was not given, off the crossbar, over the line and back in play, what a goal not given.
