Mourinho claims FFP works against Chelsea

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules have put the Blues at a disadvantage against long-standing top clubs. The rules, which aim to prevent professional football clubs spending more than they earn, are a "contradiction" according to Mourinho.

"What happened really with the Financial Fair Play is a big protection to the historical, old, big clubs, which have a financial structure, a commercial structure, everything in place based on historical success for years and years and years," he told Eurosport-Yahoo.
