Mourinhio off?

[The Lucky C]

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's has accused the Stamford Bridge board of refusing to back him in the January transfer window.
Reports have already suggested Mourinho could leave in the summer after a fall-out with owner Roman Abramovich.

And Mourinho said: "I've identified the players that I want but they will not come. It's club reasons and I don't have to tell you why.

"I have asked for players and it's not my choice that no-one is coming."

Mourinho was thought to be keen to bring in a defender and a forward during the transfer window.

But the outspoken boss says if he is unable to bring in any new faces then he will not allow any of his squad to depart.

He added: "The information I have is that nobody is coming and if that's the case then nobody is leaving.

"It's not my club - I'm just the manager.

"I expect my squad to be the same at the end of the market as it was at the start."

Mourinho refused to discuss his Stamford Bridge future, only saying: "My position is not important. Chelsea is what is important, not me."

Is Abramovich finally getting pissed off being an open chequebook? *prays for this*

They've run out of money

abramovich has realised he's not going to make it all back after all

[Neko Bazu]

Well, they've bought success so far, and now they've stopped buying. Perhaps they're bored of winning the league?

[Golden_Boy™]

Maybe Abramovich ain't sure if they can afford Ashley Young?
