Let me tell you what I know on the Chelsea story. My information comes from a Chelsea first team player.

The information was actually passed to me by a football contact. I was told that Jose Mourinho’s relationship with many of his players is at rock bottom.

I was told they’re fed up with the way he’s been dealing with some of them. They’re fed up with his outbursts. I was told that his relationship particularly with Eden Hazard was under immense strain.

Here’s a staggering quote. One player said recently, “I’d rather lose than win for him”. Now that last quote may well have been said in the heat of the moment, but it perhaps gives an insight into the mood of some of the players.

"Passed to me by a football contact". A "football contact". That's convincing. It's basically another way of saying "a Chelsea source said...".

why do I have a feeling it's Hazard?

If this is true then I'd rather see half the team go than Mourinho. If they're not going to play for the club because they don't like the manager then they need to go

Whoever it is (even if it's JT), he needs to be sold, because this kind of behaviour doesn't belong to the top football club and this toxic player needs to be removed from the squad. It's not Sunday league where you don't want to play with Joe in the midfield, because he drank your pint last night.

If this is true, then there is far too much player power at Chelsea. Whenever some of the core players turn on a manager, the team basically falls off the pace until he gets the sack. It has been happening since Mourinho was last sacked. Scolari, AVB - they even fell apart when Wilkins left as Asst. Manager while Ancelotti was in charge. I'm hoping upon hope that Roman allows Mourinho to gut the team of the players that are not interested - I'd rather we stick by him instead of going through another decade of this shitty manager merry-go-round.

its not cowardly at all, that is like calling a boxer who fights as a counter puncher a coward, its a very risky way to play you have to rely on your team defending well as a unit and being able to be clinical and punish every mistake, you need big characters in your team to be successful playing that way, but we unfortunately dont anymore.

Yeah, I said it's a terrible approach to football not boxing.

I respect and appreciate Mayweather. The greatest fighter of his generation and arguably the best ever.

But then he plays a sport where one wrong move will result in a knock-out.

We have a manager who thinks having possession or being progressive is the root of all evil.

no he doesnt think that, he just prefers to set his team up to force errors and prey on there mistakes, just like a counter puncher would.

who the hell is Lou Sticca?

A boxing counter puncher retaliates, we don't. We just hold on to our lead. Look at Real that's what you call a true counter-attacking team.

A member of Chelsea's first-team squad would 'rather lose than win' for Jose Mourinho, according to BBC Radio.

Reckon it's Papy Djilobodji. That guy's always had a big fucking mouth. Always trying to be in the spotlight.

[Azul 1,615]

Reckon it's Papy Djilobodji.

Nah it's a first team player. Papy doesn't even play.I really think it's Fabregas or Pedro.

i am not talking about our current team, i am talking about how Jose likes his teams to set up, but we dont have the players to be effective playing that way right now.

Someone doesn't get a joke

[DYC. 7,542]

Disgrace, if true.

Nonsense. Footballers don't play for managers. A great motivator can squeeze (a bit) more out of players but they don't actually play for the manager. They play for themselves. We're talking about athletes, natural born competitors. Losing is failure.

Sensationalism at it's finest.

I sometimes can't read sarcasm through internet lol, it's a problem.

[LAM09 7,056]

why do I have a feeling it's Hazard?

I'm thinking the same thing going by his performances. Sad times.

[Melanicus 5,208]

That was posted by BBC, they are usually reliable.

If this is true, then this downfall isn't just Mourinho's fault as it has been suggested by many here. Some players have weak mentality too and use their player power in order to get rid of the manager that they don't like.

That's the reason we are not producing. Some of the guys are not giving a damn. Rather lose than win for Mourinho? The team and fans should come first before anyone else for players.(on the field) There's a huge amount of people who don't like their bosses but still do their jobs. This cunt should be found out and sent to train with academy players without ever getting to play a game for Chelsea again. I don't care if he's a star or a rotation player.

He's spitting into face of every Chelsea fan by saying this.

I might just stay away from all the football news and forums for a week. Too much BS flying in the air!

KTBFFH!!!

who the hell is Lou Sticca?

Today, it seems that Mourinho’s exit is becoming increasingly inevitable as super agent Lou Sticca has just tweeted out that the Special One is already gone.

Sticca has been involved in some of the most high profile transfers in Australian and Asian football in recent years and is also the Managing Director of Tribal Sports Group. He is extremely well connected in the footballing world so his claim should not be taken lightly. However, whether it is actually true or not cannot be confirmed as of yet
