Chelsea players: “Scolari is hopeless”

Have the Blues lost faith in their leader already?

Ex-Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie’s weekly column usually focuses around train station parking, scratches on his Mercedes and how depressing it is to be a Charlton fan. This morning, however, he reveals potential unrest in Cobham:

I am told Chelsea players think Big Phil Scolari is hopeless and that his training methods come from the International Managers Handbook i.e. jog, jog, jog, throw your arms in the air. Many think both Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant were way above Scolari.

It’s worth noting that Kelvin MacKenzie is wrong about stuff nearly as much as “Gaunty”, so do you think he has got hold of a valid bit of info here? Let us know.

    well i think Big Phil Scolari has not prove himself yet in chelsea becos he has not won the big 4top team,and is not so confident abouting his wins,u can hear his press conferences the match bw arsenal and chelsea,Jose Mourinho is awalys positive about wining the top4 and he comes out victorious,even if he do not play attacking football.

    If Avram had made such a mess of the Champions League group stage or completely sabotaged Chelsea’s home form he would have been lynched by now. He was scolded for weeks after losing the Carling Cup final to Tottenham – Scolari was barely told off for going out early at home to Burnley!

    yeah and why should anyone beleive this gossip. Yes and scolari is barly told off because the man has won a WORLD CUP, something neither grant nor mourinho could even dream of doing.

    Sad that people read this kind of tripe, let alone write it.

    Yeah i’m sure all the Chelsea players hate him…you know, the same Chelsea players that loved him when he managed Portugal!

    This is obviously a moronic attempt to unsettle the club and the locker room, which really makes me laugh because as i just said pretty much every player that has ever played under Scolari has nothing but high praise for him. So in other words, ignore this garbage and enjoy the football.
