Fabregas responds to Secret Footballer's claims that he's leading the coup against Mou

Chelsea will come good again, says Cesc.

CESC FABREGAS HAS publicly denied claims that he is leading a dressing room coup against Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

Fabregas was singled out as the ringleader of the revolt in a column posted by The Secret Footballer on Monday.

But the Spanish midfielder insisted that he still has an excellent relationship with under-fire Mourinho, who is now 4/11 favourite to be the next Premier League boss to get the sack.

“I would like to clarify that contrary to a few reports (from) some online websites, I am extremely happy at Chelsea and have an excellent relationship with the manager,” Fabregas posted on Twitter this morning.

“There maybe certain individuals from the outside trying to destabilise this club but I strongly believe that we will bounce back and come good again.”

Writing on Monday, The Secret Footballer — whose identity is still the subject of some debate — claimed to have it “on the best authority possible” that Chelsea’s players hate Mourinho’s tactics.

“They hate the way they have to sit back against inferior opposition; they hate the way they aren’t allowed to express themselves,” he wrote.

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.’”
