Jimmy Explains Comments

Last updated : 23 August 2002 By Rich Godden
And, unfortunately, this reporter is unconvinced by his defence.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Jimmy claims that half of his comments published in Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo were untrue.

But he also said that if Barcelona were to make an offer for him he would be flattered and willing to listen to an offer. And he was unhappy about the constant questions about his future and seemed to snap at the reporter as the interview was coming to a close.

And shortly afterwards, Claudio Ranieri also spoke to Sky Sports. He said that Chelsea should have won against United and that a draw was a disappointing result.

When asked about Jimmy's future, he tried to stray away from the subject, claiming that it was not his decision as he is not the manager, only the coach. But he was adamant that he wanted JFH to stay.

The debates will go on and we will not know anything for sure about Jimmy's future unless he is still at the club on 1st September- after the transfer deadline...
