Jose: I'll carry on as before

Last updated : 23 March 2005 By Paul Lagan
Jose Mourinho has reacted typically to suggestions that he should mend his ways.
The Chelsea boss, speaking in Portugal is reported to have said that he will not amend his behaviour and this is sure to anger the boffins at UEFA HQ.

Jose and Chelsea are in the middle of a footballing timebomb with Europe's footballing ruling body.
UEFA have accused him and staff of lying, they are now going to be judge AND jury over accusations following the debacle that was the Champions League game against Barcelona in the Now Camp.

Quite how UEFA can take a neutral stance and operate a fair 'trial' is beyond me.
But they will be infruiated by comments by Mourinho.
He said that he is a "spontaneous" man and not malicious or offensive and that he will be "carrying on as normal".

It's being suggested that on the orders of club lawyers that Mourinho should operate a media silence.

He has failed to attend the last two post-match press conferences st Stamford Bridge and Chelsea have stopped a couple of pre-match conferences.

But Mourinho refuses to be gagged even by his OWN club.
He has his own spokesperson to deal with media inquires, thereby bypassing Chelsea's official media outlet.

Such a move has angered Chelsea and insiders are known to be irritated by their inability to control their maverick head coach.

Rock on Jose, we are all behind ya!
