Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has dismissed claims that his Blues side could dominate the Premier League for years to come, as they close in on their league title. They will be crowned champions tomorrow with a victory at home against Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace side - and are thirteen points clear of their closest rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.
Mourinho had this to say, about talk that his side is set to dominate for years to come: "There are countries where it's common [to have] domination, Bayern Munich, Celtic Glasgow, Basel, Olympiakos. There are countries where the domination is there years, and years, and years. I don't think this country [England] is a good example of that. It's very unpredictablee and I can imagine for next season the top squads, because we are speaking about the top teams, we are not speaking about fragile squads that need a complete change we are speaking about top squads.
And you can imagine top squads with a few new players you can imagine that next season everyone of the title contenders is going to be very, very strong. So I think in relation to the Premier League, when the season starts, if you want to be champions, you have the risk also to finish fifth and I think next season is going to be the same."
