Mourinho's relationship with his players at 'rock-bottom'

Many Chelsea players have reportedly lost faith in Jose Mourinho, with one said to prefer to lose than win for the under-pressure manager.

The claim came from BBC journalist Garry Richardson, who said on 5 Live’s Sportsweek that he had heard of the problems from inside the Chelsea dressing room, as the Blues’ dreadful start to the season continued on Saturday with a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool.

“Let me tell you what I know on the Chelsea story,” said Richardson. “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.”

After watching the game against Liverpool, I knew already. Jose should just go.
