JUST when things are at their lowest at Chelsea, reports have emerged of a senior player leading a revolt against Jose Mourinho.
The Special One is facing arguably his most difficult challenge during his management career, with the defending English Premier League champions Chelsea floundering in 15th place having lost six times in 11 league games.
And according to the Secret Footballer, a blog operated by an unknown professional player, it is Cesc Fabregas leading the charge to go against Mourinho.
“I have it on the best authority possible that the players have told the manager that they hate the way they play,” the blog reads.
“They hate the way they have to sit back against inferior opposition; they hate the way they aren’t allowed to express themselves.
“I’m told that Cesc Fabregas is the leader of that mini-revolt. And as a player, you do things like this when you know you are in the right.
“You try your luck. Why not? It’s your way of saying to the manager: ‘You can either listen to us, and give the go ahead to change and give us what we want, or we’ll keep serving you up the same old shit and embarrass you’.”
The Secret Footballer also looked at the reasons for the turmoil at Stamford Bridge, citing the decision from Mourinho to single out popular doctors Eva Carneiro and Jon Fearn after their Round 1 loss to Swansea.
It has since emerged that Carneiro will seek legal action against the parties involved for constructive dismissal as the saga continues to rumble on well into the season.
“Fearn and Carniero are loved at Chelsea,” said the Secret Footballer. “They are friends of the players because they interact with them on a daily basis and have no agenda other than their wellbeing.
“They are neutral territory.”
He added: “Fearn and Carniero are totally respected by the playing staff and Mourinho has made a massive mistake in trying to make his point at the expense of two members of staff who were just doing their job and are seen as an easy touch.”
THE SECRET FOOTBALLER ON ...
... The likely outcome: If you want my honest opinion, I think that you haven’t seen Mourinho at even a tenth of his anger.
He is hurting from the fact that the players who he put together are revolting too publicly.
If he has that Ferguson streak in him, and if Abramovich allows, I think you will see the most ruthless culling of Chelsea’s squad in at least five years, with fresh talent coming in.
I think that the Chelsea board have written off this campaign and have accepted that they will start again next season.
... The shift in player attitude: What has happened since has been the total and utter abandonment of Mourinho and his philosophy by the players.
Mourinho is bang to rights and the players know it, so they are now trying to make their point on the pitch.
... Mourinho’s failure to apologise: Since (the Carneiro/Fearn) moment, Mourinho’s ego has been hurt and has demanded that he reinstate the prescene that he had before.
His ego is why he didn’t apologise, when he most certainly should have.
