Chelsea boss AVB facing fresh dressing room MUTINY
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is again met this morning with reports that he's losing the dressing room.
The Sun says the players believe the Blues boss is tactically inept and cannot handle Premier League players.
Fans booed the side after Saturday's shock 3-1 home defeat by Aston Villa and several players want to leave this month.
The last straw came when AVB barred China-bound Nicolas Anelka from their Christmas party at the training ground.
In an act of defiance, players organised their own lunchtime party for the Frenchman last Friday.
A Chelsea source said: "The lads thought banning Nico from the lunch was petty and spiteful.
"AVB has lost the dressing room and it's become so bad several players want to get away now."
Anelka joins Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua this month.
The Chelsea players entertained him at the Dorchester's swish Chinese restaurant, China Tang.

OH you're happy now they are leaving, they are suddenly not good enough for chelsea. Chelsea is what these players and Jose made it. When they were winning for you it was okay. AVB will be the death of Chelsea. Fans are so ungrateful.
wow!! am so happy, bunch of old cliques can now leave, they have been running chelsea. same happened to barcelona which saw so many stars like ronaldinho left.... Pls these guys should go! we need AVB. its not gonna be a day job. i remember sir alex ferguson not winning anything in the first 5 years. but look at them today!
if these report is anything to go by then its the high time AVB instills discpline in the squad,some of chelsea players are surviving on the efforts of others yet they are loud to bring in off field matters that are not adding value,the old players have developed a culture of blaming coaches so that they can survive once the coach has been sacked,what chelsea needs now is a clinical finisher,Torres is lazy,he cant fall back to assist,Lampard is short of cutting edge of a midefielder,Bosingwa cant defend,Chelsea us curently walking on the back of Matta.
