Jose 鈥榯arnishing鈥 Premier League image
Print Edition
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho鈥檚 constant spats with referees are tarnishing the image of the Premier League, according to the former general manager of Professional Game Match Officials Ltd Keith Hackett.
The Football Association has charged Mourinho with misconduct for comments made to Jon Moss that resulted in the Portuguese being sent to the stands during last Saturday鈥檚 1-2 loss at West Ham United.
Chelsea鈥檚 under-fire boss is also appealing against a 50,000-pound (US$76,655) fine and a suspended one-match stadium ban after he said referees were 鈥渁fraid鈥 to award his team penalties following the home defeat by Southampton earlier this month.
鈥淪adly the image of the Premier League is being tarnished by the actions of the manager of Chelsea,鈥 Hackett wrote in a blog on you-are-the-ref.com.
鈥淗e appears to be one very unhappy person who, frankly, is using referees as a scapegoat for the poor performances of his team.
鈥淢oss was appointed to what appears to be a poisoned chalice when it comes to Chelsea, not the easiest team to control.
鈥淔or a number of years with Jose Mourinho in charge, Chelsea have been a difficult team to referee,鈥 Hackett concluded.
The Premier League champion, which is sixth from bottom this season, also had midfielder Nemanja Matic and assistant manager Silvino Louro sent off on Saturday.
The PGMOL is responsible for the development and mentoring of the best referees in England and Hackett urged senior officials to take Mourinho to task over his public criticisms.
