UK Back Pages: Frank Lampard, Manchester City in the Spotlight over Contract
After a day of apologies, contract details and further twists on the Frank Lampard-Manchester City-New York City FC saga, Lampard and City are in the spotlight again.
Elsewhere, there's in-fighting at West Ham, and Vincent Tan has finally relented to change the club's colours back to the traditional blue.
But first with Lampard.
Star Sport simply put that City did "cock it up" after the club apologised for the contract fiasco:
