Mourinho turns on Wenger again after FA fine

Jose Mourinho has turned his anger towards Arsene
Wenger again while branding claims of a mutiny within
the Chelsea squad "a disgrace".

Jose Mourinho has once again turned his frustrations towards
Arsene Wenger in the wake of his Football Association (FA)
punishment.

The Chelsea manager was given a £50,000 fine and a one-
match stadium ban, suspended for a year, after comments
regarding officials being "afraid" to award his side penalties
following the 3-1 defeat to Southampton.

Speaking to BBC's Football Focus, Mourinho has once more
suggested Wenger gets priority treatment from the FA, pointing
to an incident last season where the Arsenal boss pushed him
on the touchlines and received no punishment.

"It's the FA's relationship towards me [that needs to change],"
he said. "I think you, the media, should look at it. You should
analyse what is happening with me, compare with other
managers. It's the difference between afraid, naive, and weak,
it's a £50,000 difference. The difference between a word and a
push. You think it's comparable in the eyes of everyone?

"The next time I speak it'll be a stadium ban, then an electronic
tag. I have to stay quiet and hope that all this journalism will
bring to reality what is crystal clear."

Mourinho also slammed suggestions of a "mutiny" within the
Chelsea playing squad.

He added: "The truth is that is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace.
You don't need me to repeat what the players have been saying
in the last couple of weeks.

"Every one of the players [on the international break] that had
the chance to go to the press always had to be speaking about
Chelsea."

The former Porto boss claimed on Friday that he would survive
as Chelsea manager even with a mid-table finish this season,
and he has urged supporters not to forget the success he has
brought to the club.

"I lose one, I lose a few. If you ask me if in the next couple of
years I won't win a title, I say impossible," Mourinho added.

"You think the champions of England are bad? The manager, the
players, the club, the fans are bad? I know we're not playing the
football of last season. It's an accumulation of factors. I'm not
ready to discuss it.

"I know the way I would behave as a fan. If I were a fan I would
think 'we won four Premier Leagues, three of them, the
manager was this guy. The fourth was with a team that this guy
made. So does he deserve our respect, our trust? Can we get
someone better than him?'

"I know [Branislav] Ivanovic was not playing especially well but
can we forget what he brought to this club, the happiness he
brought, the player he is?

"I question my methods, and the answers are in my book. 22
titles in 15 years."
