A round-up of the media's coverage of what's increasingly looking like a no-win situation for Chelsea. As the FA is expected to make a decision by the end of this week whether or not to charge referee Mark Clattenburg over allegations that he used "inappropriate language" towards John Obi Mikel, Chelsea have simultaneously been accused of covering up racism as well as maliciously accusing and slandering a Premier League referee.
Neil Warnock and Ian Darke had some comments today on the Chelsea complaint against Mark Clattenburg. Both should really shut their mouths until the facts come out.
The union has made a wise decision to keep Clattenburg out of the spotlight while this investigation is going on, something that will benefit all parties involved.
The FA has launched their investigation into the report that referee Mark Clattenburg made inappropriate remarks to Juan Mata and John Obi Mikel during Chelsea's game with Manchester United.
The refereeing in Sunday's match against Manchester United was terrible, but that fact may be lost in the wake of reports that Mark Clattenburg racially abused John Obi Mikel.
