Mourinho facing player revolt at Chelsea

Various news outlets report that Jose Mourinho has lost the Chelsea dressing room and faces internal revolt.

Although no names are mentioned, most of us will have our own suspicions about which players are currently most unhappy with the Portuguese. Mourinho has grown increasingly prickly as the season has progressed, blaming everything and everyone apart from himself for the current crisis at Stamford Bridge. The Mail report that the Chelsea squad are so fed up with their manager that they've even got an insulting nickname for him, although the offending moniker isn't disclosed. Whereas the Evening Standard 'understand' that 'several of the Chelsea players have become unsettled at Mourinho's public criticism of the squad's performances this term'. For his part, Jose has made light of the rumours of a coup, by stating: "I think the mutiny must be...Baba (Rahman). Baba... who else? Falcao? Papy Djilobodji? Oscar? So these four don't play Saturday for sure." Interesting times at Stamford Bridge...
