    #meltdown no. 1

    Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has pulled out of Sunday's Soccer Aid charity game at Old Trafford.

    He was due to manage an England XI including ex-Arsenal keeper David Seaman and former United defender Phil Neville, plus a host of celebrities.

    It would have been Mourinho's first Old Trafford match since his appointment.

    Former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss Mourinho, 53, is thought to have told organisers he had other commitments he wanted to focus on.

    Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce will take charge of the England team instead.

    He doesn't want his appearance to detract from the actual charity event. It'd be a media circus if that was his first sighting at OT.

    Silly boy.

    Could be. The fact that he's a textbook narcissist does suggest otherwise. Plus by pulling out (ooh errr) he's already started that media circus rolling with headlines about him pulling out <laugh>

    Don't you think his appearance would highlight the charity more, get more interest resulting in more people attending and more media coverage?

    I think it'd over shadow the entire event and the coverage would be all about him, as opposed to the Charity that it's supposed to be for.

    Was that the block of 4 table? That was an easy was to see the progression ( or not ) of the team.

    Fat Sam has always wanted to manage the home team at OT and have a go as England manager,

    Both ambitions rolled into one.

    #meltdown no. 2

    Chelsea’s former team doctor heard José Mourinho call her a “daughter of a whore” in Portuguese when she ran on to the pitch during a Premier League match to treat an injured player last year, an employment tribunal has been told.

    Dr Eva Carneiro, 42, is claiming unfair dismissal against Chelsea, and sex discrimination and harassment against the club’s former manager following the incident at the game against Swansea last August.

    On the opening day of what looks set to be a bruising two-week trial, lawyers for Chelsea revealed that Carneiro was offered £1.2m to settle her claims, but instead decided to take the case to an open hearing, in which private texts and emails among the Chelsea hierarchy are expected to be exposed and Mourinho, now manager of Manchester United, will face cross-examination.

    In a skeleton argument, they told the tribunal the cash offer was far more than “she could realistically recover even if she succeeded on all her claims”. They said she is now making an “extravagant compensation claim”.

    Carneiro claims that Mourinho also abused her for going on the pitch to treat a head injury in a game against Fiorentina days previously. Her lawyers allege Mourinho shouted at her: “Now we’re going to **** ourselves. Every time someone goes down with a head injury we’re going to **** ourselves.”

    After Mourinho allegedly abused her in the Swansea game, he told the club’s head of communications, Steve Atkins, that he didn’t want Carneiro on the bench. Her lawyers claim that he said “she works in academy team or ladys [sic] team not with me”.
