Players In Revolt At Chelsea by touche(m): 7:52pm On Sep 22, 2007
The Sun this morning claims that the players are furious about the events of this week and with the club's decision to name Grant as their new boss.

The newspaper alleges that a "furious row broke out at the team meeting after training yesterday," and that "angry words were exchanged between big-name players as they argued about Grant taking over from Jose Mourinho."

As has already been reported , Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda and Ricardo Carvalho are particularly upset that Mourinho has left. So too, it seems, is defender Ashley Cole.

According to The Sun, afterr training yesterday at the club's Cobham HQ, Chelsea's first team squad had their first group discussion with new manager Grant since Mourinho left the club in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Grant and assistant manager Steve Clarke apparently talked about how to approach Sunday's crucial Premier League clash at Old Trafford against champions Manchester United.

However, that session lasted less than 30 minutes, after which captain John Terry called the players to a private meeting without Grant and Clarke present.

And apparently it was at this meeting that tempers boiled over and several players vented their anger at Mourinho’s departure, The Sun claiming that, "Arguments continued over the course of a stormy 50-minute meeting."
