Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern can’t believe what they’ve heard whilst eating their Sunday lunches, after sensational comments were published in the daily papers.
The Daily Mail post comments from an unnamed Chelsea player, who reportedly stated he would rather lose than win under Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho’s side lost for the sixth time this Premier League season yesterday, ensuring they had their worst league start since the late 1980’s, with a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool potentially being the final nail in the coffin for an under-fire manager.
Now, BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Garry Richardson claims he’s been informed Mourinho has lost the dressing-room, with barely any relationships left with his stars.
‘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.’
Chelsea supporters at the bar are furious with the quote, more so towards Jose Mourinho who they feel is entirely responsible for the situation in West London, and they’re concerned their star-men could be forced out of the club.
Chelsea fans, has this gone too far? Should Jose Mourinho be sacked? Let us know in the comments below!
