Keane once again critizes the Blues Boss labelling him a ‘Disgrace’
Roy Keane publicly hit out at the Chelsea Boss once again with the Portuguese strategist by naming him a “disgrace” for shaking his and Paul Lambert’s hand before the last whistle of Chelsea’s late 3-0 triumph over Aston Villa.
Mourinho reacted by blaming the Villa aide for throwing together a storm to build book deals.
Furthermore now Keane has again impacted the Chelsea supervisor, recommending his employment is simple on the grounds that his group is worth £300million
“He plays too many mind games but that’s fine,” Keane said. “That’s up to himself. He’ll argue all day he can back it up with trophies. Of course, he can.
“But it helps when you’ve got players worth £300million. He is entitled to do what he wants. Is he worried about my opinion? Of course not, he is off trying to win championships and Champions Leagues.
“The early handshake has never happened to me before so you just tell him ‘I’ll see you at the end of the game’.
“But I have seen him do it before with managers. Maybe he thinks it catches people off guard. But that’s all part of the game. People playing games don’t keep me awake at night. It is part of the industry. I don’t know what he gets out of it.”
Mourinho had accused Keane of creating a fuss to help his book sales, saying: “I don’t know if he really feels it or wants to sell books and needs my help for that.”
But Keane hit back: “How would that sell books? He thinks I am going to sell a book on the back of that?
“I saw his response the other day and I just thought he had a week to prepare his answer and I thought he would come up with a better answer than that because I am sure he would have had people telling him what might need to be said.
“But I would say exactly the same again. It has got nothing to do with the book. You shake hands with someone at the end of the game. I think it was disgraceful. But do you think I am some sort of robot on a PR trip to sell books?
“If you ask me a question whether people should shake hands before the end of the game, whether it is non-league, I would say it was disgraceful. It is nothing to do with Mourinho, it is any manager. I think he said the other day he would do it again and that’s fine. I have no control over him.
“But if people want to shake my hand before the end of the game, whether it is Brendan Rodgers or Roberto Martinez, I’d say no. I think most people would say the same.”
