Never have i heard of such a threat from a professional player!

Appreantly William Gallas threatened to score an own goal, get sent off or make deliberate mistakes if he was ever forced to play for Chelsea again and it all began in last season’s FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.

Chelsea F.C decided to go ahead and released the info regarding the players threat which really opens our eyes on this matter.

Here’s a partial statement released by Chelsea FC:

Chelsea FC believes it is important for our supporters to be made aware of the full facts regarding William Gallas and the lack of respect he showed to the fans, the manager and the club.

Despite leaving he continues to attack José Mourinho and this cannot be left unchallenged.

Chelsea made William Gallas a very substantial and attractive new contract offer to stay towards the end of last season. This was rejected.

The issue was purely one of money, despite his public comments that he wanted a new challenge, to play abroad and so forth. These were just a smokescreen to cover up the fact he was hawking himself to the highest bidder.

Having failed to secure his demands, his position became increasingly intransigent and unacceptable.

He initially refused to play against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final last season in an effort to force an increased contract offer.

As is now well documented he refused to join up with the team in Los Angeles during pre-season, despite agreeing the dates for his return as the other World Cup players did, with the club.

When José Mourinho generously offered him a way back into the “family” after the American tour, this was thrown back in the Chelsea manager’s face.
