Chelsea angry over rift rumours

CHELSEA have consulted lawyers after allegations of a bust-up involving manager Jose Mourinho and chief executive Peter Kenyon over the sale of William Gallas to Arsenal.

Reports have suggested the pair fell out over the decision to offload the unhappy France international defender as part of the deal to bring England left-back Ashley Cole to Stamford Bridge.

The transfer was concluded just minutes before the midnight deadline on transfer-deadline day, with Chelsea paying Arsenal £5million plus Gallas in exchange for Cole.
