Scolari warns of casualties

ChelseaNew manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has warned there will be some high-profile casualties of his Chelsea "revolution".

The former Portugal coach will not stand on ceremony as he bids to take Chelsea back to the summit of English football and has insisted that big reputations will not get in his way.

The no-nonsense World Cup winning coach is not yet behind his desk but has revealed that any player who does not tow the line will be shown the Stamford Bridge exit door.

He said: "My choices are purely tactical ones. I pick the players I think are the best.

"I only give explanations about players I pick, never about others.

"I won't give explanations about any player not selected. Whoever is not selected is not selected.

"Let them be unhappy with it. They know that's the way it is in football. I, as a coach, have to live with the responsibility of choosing."
