Jose Moutinho will face the world' s media in his pre-match press conference later today, and when it's a alleged he turned Stamford Bridge blue with invective on Saturday, he will be asked questions regarding what he said to club doctor Eva Carnerio and physio Jon Fern which has seen their match duties taken away from them.
It's well documented what the medical team did in the 2-2 draw with Swansea, it's well documented that Carneiro went on Facebook to thank supporters for their support. It's we'll documented that they pair have seen their jobs radically altered.
What we are witnessing at the Bridge is an escalating PR disaster. The club is desperate to ensure the name Roman Abramovich is not mentioned in this context. Protecting his reputation on the world-stage is a major issue at SW6. It's unlikely that he will make his views public. It's unlikely that any close friends or his regular 'sources' will speak out on this. But the question will be - what's his view on this? Does he agree with the club board's decision on Carneiro and Fern?
The overwhelming public and scientific community has cast their vote in the medical team's favour.
Jose Mourinho, while, loving the fact his team's appalling run of six games without a win in 90 minutes, has been largely ignored, will not be happy that the only support he is garnering is an ex-club doctor.
Mourinho's stock at the club is high at present. He has complied with their recent transfer strategy where this season, there would be no major signings. but no one would have predicted that the standard would have fallen so far so quickly.
He got what he wanted last summer but was aware that the only way he would get a major signing was if a major signing left.
So far, that's not happened, but the unpredictability surrounding Diego Costa's hamstring problems has left Mourinho frustrated - it docent allow him to plan two/three matches ahead and the medical department are the constant focus of his ire as he seeks clarification on the injury.
The only striker brought in is Radamel Falcao, on loan, but the Colombia striker has so far failed to find the back of the net.
Mourinho could find himself five points behind Manchester City on Sunday if they lose at the Etihad Stadium.
The temptation is to suggest that on current form, Chelsea's title defence could be over by November. Mourinho is aware of this and the frustration that he is not getting the team on the pitch he wants, is evident in his sullen demeanour of late.
One way to turn all the negative publicity would be for Abramovich to sanction a couple of serious first-team quality signings.
With the future of Ramires and Mikel expected to be confirmed in the next couple of week, Mourinho could find himself short in squad numbers.
Will he sacrifice a midfield shorn of those two if he could bring in a striker to seriously push Costa.
Pedro and Charlie Austin?
The transfer window ends on September 1, Chelsea, Abramovich and Mourinho needs some good publicity and quick.
