Blues stars’ fury over Rom cuts
CUTBACKS ... Roman AbramovichCHELSEA stars kick off the new season today at war with owner Roman Abramovich.
The billionaire Russian has infuriated his Double winners by scrapping and slashing the squad's bonuses.
A Chelsea insider said: "The players are furious and there is a huge row going on behind the scenes.
"They're champions and are rewarded with a pay cut - it's hardly a great way to motivate them.
"It was a big shock and they're not happy. Now they're going into the season under a cloud."
Stunned Blues players - who face West Brom in today's Premier League opener - were given the news at a meeting with director Eugene Tenebaum and chief executive Ron Gourlay.
They were told Rom has done away with all appearance bonuses and cash tied to performances and results.
The only bonuses this term will be for WINNING the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup or Carling Cup. And they will get nowhere near previous season's figures.
Our insider added: "They thought it was it was just a normal pre-season meeting.
"But instead they were told it was all change and most of the bonuses they'd enjoyed had been scrapped or reduced."

Nice.
I like this...
No win title = no extra, fair enough.
Whats more your salary is high enough already.
Not happy, leave the club...
