Mourinho's Mental Health

A prior search result regarding comments he made about Sir Alex Ferguson caused me to question Mourinho's sanity and now we have this:

Chelsea boss Mourinho arrested, cautioned over pet dog - World Soccer - Yahoo! Sports:

"Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been arrested and cautioned after an argument with police and a health official about his pet dog.

Wednesday's edition of The Sun newspaper said the 44-year-old coach left the club's player of the year awards after a call from his wife that their Yorkshire terrier was being taken away.
On arriving at his Belgravia home he saw an official and two police officers who wanted to put the dog in quarantine, fearing it had been taken abroad without jabs.

A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police confirmed that officers went to an address in central London at 7:45 pm Tuesday with an officer from the Animal Health and Welfare Service.
'A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing police and was taken to a west London police station,' he said."

Having said all of the above this of course could also be a set up by rival fans who detest the eccentric Chelsea manager...

Rick Parry on Mourinho

BBC SPORT Football My Club Liverpool Reds chief mocks beaten Chelsea:

Gravy time for Liverpool's chief executive. Liverpool try to spend their money wisely all the while having to listen to Mourinho bait everyone and anyone in England.

"'I don't care what he says, I don't listen...I guess when you've invested £500m it's a fantastic season to win the League Cup. He's welcome to his opinions, we care about Liverpool.' "

Fair enough to Rick Parry I say. I was a fan of Mourinho's when he came in. And I've been told he's a great coach but he hasn't delivered the Champions League. He should be fired now I say.

Ironically though, Mourinho's won the Premiership twice in row. Something Liverpool want to start doing again (and for which they'll need to spend money inorder to buy depth) :

"For us, the big prize is the Premier League, we've made no secret of that. (says Parry)...Every one of us wants to be a Premier League contender. We're not quite there, but we'll do everything in our power to make sure we get there."
