Just like Sian Massey did when Andy Gray and Richard Keys insulted her off camera right?

Lol what? All it needed was an apology from the club and/or Jose for insulting her and the issue would have been dead a buried again. Instead she gets public humiliation when she's called naive for doing her job and then told she won't sit on the bench. Yes thanks to her the media had a field day right.. Lmao.

not taking the side of some random person that is trying to get money and media attention, while throwing mud at our club image at the same time

What?! . On the salary she was on her loss of earnings claim was actually £5m, that's a basis on her salary before termination x length of contract.** So unless you know otherwise, I'm not sure what you're alluding too. Media attention? Yes we can deduce that from her numerous(!) television appearances and media interviews(!). I won't even begin to ask you where you where see this proverbial 'mud' being thrown......

Let's see who will be willing to hire someone who is not sensible enough to settle those kind of issues privately and has a story of embarassing his employer publicly.

Yes let's see someone hire a successful female in a male dominated industry who is at the very top of her field. 

 

**if one of you numbers guys can clarify this, kudos.

Lol, quite honestly I didn't read most of your post as I think I've already wasted enough time with my own about this ridiculous story. But I'll be rooting for you. Hopefully you'll bring justice for Ms Carneiro (!)

Sober moment of clarity.....

Yes its difficult for women to survive in the testosterone fuelled world of male football. 25-30 years ago black blokes were having the same discriminatory shit thrown at them.

So on one hand she has a point, but instead of raising the wider issue of sexism in football, she seems to have gone down the oh so familiar route of me, me, me in todays society, and has actually probably deterred more women wanting to work in the male dominated industry that is modern football. The reputed £5 million was actually hush money, to avoid the string of recriminatory e mails and texts toing and froing between her representatives and CFC more than lost contract money.

Her case does highlight the issue of sexism that has yet to be tackled successfully, let alone homophobia....

Fuck me imagine if she was a transgender....

Because of this charade, I can't even tell if she's made it easy or more difficult for women to be employed in football (no employer would want controversial distractions)

Oh man let's not even go there . Just glad it's all over, my bet is Mourinho pisses off Charlton first at United.

She was treated unfairly, that's a fact, but she took advantage of her somewhat popular status as a lady in the football world. She was quick to take the matter to the social media, fishing for sympathy and blew this non-story out of proportion. Thanks to her the media had a reliable beatstick against us every time they ran out of stories during the course of the season. And now she gets a large sum of money and a statement about the great job she's done that makes me want to barf...She probably did the right thing for herself, but excuse me for not taking the side of some random person that is trying to get money and media attention, while throwing mud at our club image at the same time. Let's see who will be willing to hire someone who is not sensible enough to settle those kind of issues privately and has a story of embarassing his employer publicly. So, do I think she is a gold digger? Yes, I do. I can even try getting Kanye West to lead a sing-along.

Dude - I'm sorry but Murinho threw the first metaphorical punch. Sometimes in life you reap what you sow... 

Mou caused this and he could have defused it - but his ego got the better of him, that's the biggest problem with Mou - he now believes he's never wrong

As all of the furore blew up over this, it emerged that there may have been long standing doubts about the quality of Eva's work for the club. I know nothing about the truth of that either way so have no opinion on it and what I have to say below takes no account of it.

Anyone who has read my general comments knows that I'm a huge Jose Mourinho fan but he was undoubtedly in the wrong about this. He not only behaved badly on the day, he compounded it by behaving stupidly afterward. His actions, which have cost the club a lot of money and bad publicity, have also seen us loose an individual who was a big PR asset. A successful woman in a man's world was always a news story and one that showed Chelsea football club in a positive light. Further, it's not too far fetched to imagine that the incident and its aftermath played a part in driving a wedge between the the manager and his players. It was a bad day and a bad business.

Good luck to Eva. I wish her every success.

Maybe he doesn't like Eva, it could be that simple.
Just like you don't like Jose Mourinho, but there's a line for help.

Yep got it in one I don't like her now because she firstly tried to sue the club as-well as Jose when she accused him for slander and costing her job, and then refuses the money offered to settle outside.
