The Mourinho Thread

She would absolutely not be fired for saying thank you to her supporters at any other company... She didn't do anything wrong, she was doing her job.

In the real world there's the law, trade unions etc.

No chance she would've been fired.

Posting that message on Facebook is not doing her job. As a backroom staff member you should not seek the spotlights. Your job is to help the team and the players discreetly. As a professional you're basically a unit, a number, a machine, you should not have an ego in public. She can post what ever she wants as the person Eva, but as the Chelsea doctor Eva you have restrictions.

By posting that message on FB, she basically broke some rules of her function. Plus, she brought the club a lot of extra negative attention. If she just ignored everything and didn't start the Eva vs Jose war, the media would be silent after one day.

Jose on the other hand, is being hired to speak publicly. He has 20 interviews and 10 press conferences every month, it's a part of his job to speak to the media. He has the right to criticize his staff and his players. Whether this criticism is correct or not, or what he says in public is correct or not, this should be reviewed by the people above him (the board and Roman) and not Chelsea doctor Eva.

1)Jose has not once said her name at all he said the whole department

2) She should have kept off social media, and kept this all in house, by her doing that she has bought more negative press on the club

3)If she was a bloke like Jon the other Doctor is, then nothing would have been said at all. All the press seem to forget that Jon ran on first

Don't be fooled by the video title. Mourinho also blasted Jon Fearn.

lol, Jose did not even pay attention to Eva, as she passed by and said something, and continued to shout at Fearn.

Still don't get it.
They start running from behind his back, so how could they know he did n't want them to ?
Jon-Eva get to know Jose did n't want them to go in only after their return !
The speed of their movements also indicates they too wanted the game to resume as soon as possible and that they believed there was a real injury to the player.
Mourinho evidently had a different view of Hazard's fall but after that he seems to understand what went on and his argument wih Eva lasts no more than one second. Then he fell victim to the journalist at interview time and then the positions became entrenched the way they are now.

Am I the only one who doesn't care about that argument and who is right and who is wrong? In the end of the day Jose is the man in charge and Eva is just an easily replaceable member of the staff.

Eva didn't help the situation by posting that message on Facebook but you wouldn't be saying all of this if you were in her (or Jon Fearn's) place and your boss decided to throw you under the bus in the public for not doing anything wrong.

This is a really weird situation. Obviously its hard for the docs in that position, as they will get flamed hard if they leave a player on the floor (especially if he is injured). Mou not wanting them to remove Hazard from the pitch might make tactical sense, but neither they, or most doctors I bet, are really tactical masterminds (nor is it why they are hired). Unless this is something he has specifically discussed with them before (and even then its really a hard call) then he has little right to be angry for any longer amount of time.

As for demoting them, the timing is crap. If it is based on a long-standing issue, then summer would have been the better time. If it is based on the reactions from the doctors after the game (mouthing off, being disrespectful etc), then it is understandable but should perhaps be leaked to the media (as they will of course otherwise make Eva a victim).
IF it is based solely on the match incident, and the one Facebook post, then it is extremely harsh and petty, and something I have a really hard time standing behind.

We all know that Mourinho is quite smug and self-serving (and I say that as someone who likes him and think he has many redeeming qualities). The only question is if he would deflect blame and follow a personal vendetta to this degree, as it has cast a huge shadow over Chelsea's PR.
