When you’re one of the biggest clubs in the world and you’ve been dropping points that you shouldn’t be dropping, there comes a point when the big boss man sits his stars down to try and air the dirty laundry.  But maybe Big Phil Scolari got a little more than he bargained for……

Scolari and his coaching staff decided to address several issues following the disappointing 2-2 draw with Fulham on Sunday.

And, when the players returned to duty after Monday’s day off, the meeting quickly turned into a heated row.

‘Before we went to training, we had a good team meeting,’ said the boss. ‘Since Sunday I have had the chance to watch again the Fulham game and today with my players, we talked about all of that game before going out for a good training session.’

From the beginning Scolari has tried to foster a fatherly relationship with his players and has maintained an open door policy, but the club confirmed last night that the team meeting took place but insisted that Scolari’s position is not under threat.

Chief executive Peter Kenyon believes the manager is being destabilised by certain individuals agitating for a move, but he is not prepared to sell them next month.

Hmmm…. If this is true, then it should be pretty clear who could be on his way out after the form of Frenchman Nicolas Anelka.
