Oh dear... Jose's been at it again. And as if all the pressure of Chelsea's failing title defence wasn't bad enough, he will now have to face an employment tribunal over his part in the Eva Carniero affair.

The bare bones of the issue are:

Eva Carniero "Constructive Dismissal" Claim

Apart from the legal issues there are a number of "football" issues here.

Firstly: Was Carniero "naive" (as alleged by Maurinho) in doing what she did..? In my opinion, no she wasn't. She didn't see the tactical situation of the match, she saw an (apparently) injured player. As a doctor it was her duty to attend him. At that moment in time, Eden Hazard wasn't a "player" in her eyes, he was her patient .

By calling her "naive", Maurinho tacitly admits that Hazard wasn't really hurt.... that he was feigning injury in order to get the game stopped in a situation where Chelsea were disadvantaged. Chelsea were down to ten players, he (Hazard) was out of position and West Ham had the ball, going forward. There was a distinct possibility that Chelsea may concede another goal. In this situation, Hazard (as it turned out) feigned injury in order to influence the referee to stop the game and thus alleviate the threat to Chelsea's goal. It was quite clear that Hazard wasn't really hurt but acted instinctively. He succeeded in getting the game stopped and Jose had no problem with that.

Unfortunately for Chelsea, FA rules state that any player treated by a doctor on the field must leave the pitch after immediate treatment and not come back until he is recuperated. Caniero coming on to treat Hazard meant that Chelsea would be reduced to nine fit on-field players... a disadvantage of 11 to 9. This is what infuriated Maurinho. He saw the match situation going from bad to worse and rather than blame Hazard for feigning injury (we call it "cheating", Jose) he vented his anger on a woman who simply did her job and treated her patient.

Jose is the emperor with no clothes in this situation. By his own tacit admission he is condoning Hazard's cheating. His comments were broadcast on Sky Sports and BBC Match of the Day. It's no secret in football that he never liked Eva Caniero and would rather have had a male doctor on the bench. There is a suspicion around that Carniero was a token female appointment by the club anyway. Was Jose, in his comments, taking a swipe at her because she was a woman in a "man's" game..? That question is speculation, make of it what you will.

Eva Carniero did her job. She did it conscientiously and with good medical practice aforethought. The British Medical Association and Women in Football are behind her in this case. She was hounded out of her job by a bitter, vindictive man who vented his anger at losing the match on her in the belief that his status as a top football manager gives him the right to publicly humiliate and degrade anybody he doesn't like whenever things don't go his way.

I hope she wins her case.

Just to close the loop on this one:

BBC - Eva Carniero Wins Her Case


Jose Maurinho has been forced into a humiliating climbdown As Dr Carniero has settled her claims against Jose Maurinho and Chelsea FC for an undisclosed sum. She had previously turned down an out of court settlement for £1.2 million (US$ 1.74 million).

Since this situation arose, Maurinho has been sacked as Chelsea manager and was unemployed until being recruited by Manchester United as a replacement for Louis van Gaal in May.

Maurinho was not expected to appear at the Tribunal, but turned up when it became apparent that if he did not give testimony, the details of a series of emails and texts would have to be made public. His appearance makes it evident that he did not want that to happen. One can only wonder at what they contained.

The case had originally been expected to last up to 10 days but Maurinho's appearance foreshortened proceedings and allowed a quick settlement. Dr Carniero is reported to be glad that it is now all over and I reckon that the apology she has received from Maurinho - a man with an ego the size of a planet - is probably worth far more than whatever sum of money she has also agreed to.

The campaign group Women In Football said: "Eva has been courageous in her fight for a public apology from Chelsea and acknowledgement that on the day in question she was simply doing her job.

"We completely deplore and condemn her treatment by the club since and welcome their unreserved apology."


The world of football will one day understand that women will not stand for being abused in this most male-dominated of sports.

He got what he deserved. One thing is for certain though, he won't get away with such action as the manager of Manchester United. It will be very intriguing how/if he will change the way he behaves in public, I'm not sure that he can! A very interesting Premier League season will happen next season, the start of a big influx of the best players and managers. Money will be king for the Premier League over the next few years.

Hopefully this will have been a chastening experience for Maurinho and will bring about a change in his personal attitude.

I hope he can become a more responsible person. He is undoubtedly a very talented coach but his style of man management has been personality driven and highly autocratic. He got away with this for a long time at Chelsea because he kept senior figures in the dressing room (John Terry especially) loyal to him and that carried the rest of the team. But when the "Three Rats" cabal (Hazard, Fabregas and Costa) eroded his authority his position eventually became untenable.

Ferguson had to face similar challenges to his authority in his time at Old Trafford but he overcame those by sheer force of will. When anybody went eyeball to eyeball with Sir Alex, it was always the other guy who blinked first.

Jose Maurinho has had a while out of the game, sitting on his thumbs and waiting to get back to business. Hopefully he has had a long hard think about his management style and will adapt to the coming challenge.

I would just like to point out that if anyone wants to pay me £5 million to call me a son of a whore, then they can call me it all day. Not just once.

Well, she needed a big cheque as I can't see many clubs in a rush to sign her up.

José Mourinho is really a Special One... in every club where he moves to, he makes headlines... even more than Antonio Conte.

Throwing out Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin, Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Juan Mata... not every manager has the character for deciding this...

Maurinho sold Mata to Manchester United during his most recent spell at The Bridge. To release him a second time.... could that be indicative that there is something personal between them..?

Mata was one of United's best players last season and was clearly happy at Old Trafford so I wonder what Reds fans will make of him being allowed to leave.

It's obvious that Maurinho has to sell to raise money to buy Pogba (if United really are serious about forking out £80+ million for him) and others on his shopping list, but Schweinsteiger and Blind had integrated well into the team last season and United looked at their defensive tightest (for what that was worth) when they played.

Whatever Maurinho has planned had better work. One FA Cup in three seasons is not the trophy tally that United fans are used to. They will want more and they will want it soon.
