Villas-Boas shrugs off revolt ahead of key cup clash with Birmingham

Chelsea manager says he still has the support of owner, if not his players

LONDON - Andre Villas-Boas has admitted that he does not enjoy the full support of his Chelsea squad ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round meeting with Birmingham City on Saturday.

The manager has endured a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge since succeeding Carlo Ancelotti last summer and last weekend's defeat at Everton sparked reports he had lost the dressing room.
