Feud continues as Chelsea boss mocks Arsenal rival
Jose Mourinho has launched another extraordinary attack on Arsene Wenger.
The Chelsea boss has now stated that Wenger is the only manager in the league who can get away with criticizing referees, and is not under any pressure.
Mourinho, whose side face Newcastle tomorrow, refused to actually name Wenger, but there was no doubt who he was talking about as he said: ““In this country, only one manager is not under pressure. Every other manager is.
“I am under pressure, Steve McClaren is under pressure, Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure, Brendan Rodgers too. We cannot be below par. We have to meet the objectives. I have sympathy with all of them, because it’s a difficult job. There’s one outside that list, but good for him.”
Asked who he meant, Mourinho said: “You know. The one who can speak about the referees before the game, after the game, can push people in the technical area, can moan, can cry in the morning, in the afternoon, nothing happens.
“He cannot achieve, keep his job, still be the king. I say just one.”
Mourinho added: “In the rules book it says some managers can speak about the referees before and after games. Some others cannot.
“ I am in the list of those who are punished if they speak about the referees before the game. I have to stick to that rule book.“You know that some can. It is an imaginary list, but clearly it is there.”
