Former England international Paul Parker has slammed Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and players Cesc Fabregas and Branislav Ivanovic as the club's crisis continues.
The 51-year-old, who played for the Blues in a very brief spell in 1997, wrote for Eurosport stating that he believes the Portuguese manager is trying to provoke the club into firing him:
"I think you can tell he is already looking to move on from Chelsea. He has lost a few games and I don’t think he fancies the battle at Stamford Bridge."
Parker added that Mourinho won't resign from his position thanks to the "huge pay-off" he'll receive for being sacked and pulled no punches in his assessment of his capabilities as a coach:
"He isn’t a great tactician and always plays the same way whichever club he is at.
