Before FFP was brought in to be fair.He was perfectly happy to spend Abramovic's millions without worrying about fairness. That helped him win titles for Chelsea and boost his reputation as a manager.
He was also perfectly happy boosting his reputation by taking over a troubled Porto mob, turning them around with little cash and loan signings, winning their league title then the uefa cup and the CL in consecutive seasons. Chelsea maybe saw something there.He was perfectly happy to spend Abramovic's millions without worrying about fairness. That helped him win titles for Chelsea and boost his reputation as a manager.
absolutely spot on, either they are guilty and they should have a ban, or they are innocent and there should be no fine
Its crazy they've been allowed to play in Europe despite failing the FFP!
The precedent has now been set and now all the top sides wont care, knowing they can just appeal it and get a wee fine...
Your point is absolutely meaningless. He broke absolutely no rules doing it.He was perfectly happy to spend Abramovic's millions without worrying about fairness. That helped him win titles for Chelsea and boost his reputation as a manager.
Based on this interview alone..He was perfectly happy to spend Abramovic's millions without worrying about fairness. That helped him win titles for Chelsea and boost his reputation as a manager.
Yeah, I'm not sure who is corrupt here. Man City or UEFA or both.He is not offering an opinion on their guilt - quite rightly- just simply pointing out that if you are exonerated, you should not be fined even one pound.
So, are they guilty, a bit guilty or what???
Based on this interview alone..
He isn't complaining that city had money? Ffp is a new rule and going back to before then to try call someone a hypocrite seems silly?
Mourinho isn't complaining about city in any way. He's just simply stating not guilty = no punishment and if you are guilty then the punishment should be more than some pocket change or a slap on the wrist. Wether city has money or not doesn't really change the situation he's moaning about.
Not sure why anyone would have a problem with mourinho here he's absolutely spot on
Wasn't the fine for not co-operating with the investigation and they were cleared of the FFP charge?
That has nothing to do with it. He's saying they're either guilty - banned or not guily - nothing.He was perfectly happy to spend Abramovic's millions without worrying about fairness. That helped him win titles for Chelsea and boost his reputation as a manager.
That is a very fair point.Before FFP was brought in to be fair.
It was financial doping and they bought their way out of the charges.
What else do we expect from UEFA?

It's quite simple.
deleted??
The eye gouger can cry as much as he wants too. I thought it was disgraceful when his comments forced a referee into early retirement but here he is still working in football management
