Revealed: What Pat Nevin said to Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas after that slip
PAT NEVIN has apologised to Cesc Fabregas after implying the midfielder would rather "lose than win" for former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
Cesc Fabregas was accused of not wanting to win for former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho
BBC presenter Garry Richardson made the stunning revelation on his Sportsweek show last month that an unnamed Chelsea player was poisoning the atmosphere inside the dressing room.
Richardson broached Nevin on the matter during Radio 4's Today programme last week, and Nevin said: "Yeah that was Cesc Fabregas, wasn't it?".
Fabregas, according to the Daily Mail, is believed to be considering pursuing legal action against Nevin.
But Nevin used his column on Chelsea's official website to try to set the record straight.
"At the risk of being self-indulgent I would like to clarify a story that emerged, not for my sake but for Cesc Fàbregas who was unfairly targeted," Nevin wrote.
