I'D RATHER LOSE THAN WIN WITH MOURINHO - CHELSEA FIRST TEAM PLAYER

Chelsea's poor run of form seems to be more internal than mere fitness. A prominent member of Chelsea first team squad, revealed to BBC Radio 5 presenter Garry Rechardson, that he would rather lose than win with Mourinho as coach of the side.

Mourinho's relationship with the players is said to have hit rock bottom. Garry said "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."

Some incredulous Chelsea fans questioned the veracity of the quote, but Richardson was defended by 5 Live deputy editor Simon Clancy.

Club owner Roman Abrahimovic has however assured Mourinho his job is secured but will this latest revelation change that?
