I don't think Abramovich and the higher management at Chelsea come out of this very well either. Mourinho is just an employee, an important employee,but an employee nevertheless. He has to be managed and directed by those above him as does any employee. As far as I can see he has been given free rein to do as he pleases in this matter and that has resulted in the mess that Chelsea now find themselves in.
All they needed to do was to have a word in his ear earlier on and tell him to get on with what he is paid to do and that is to run the first team and cut out the histrionics. Instead they seem to have sat back and allowed Mourinho to drag Chelsea's name through the dirt starting with the disgraceful Eva incident right up to him getting this stadium ban. They went along with what he was doing in the naive expectation that Jose would know how to handle matters, after all, he is the special one, isn't he?
Now that this has blown up in their faces a lot of this shit will stick to the name of CFC for years to come regardless of whether Mourinho stays or goes and a lot of the responsibility will be on Abramovich's shoulders for allowing it to come as far as it has.
On a side note, could anyone imagine our owners allowing City's name to be sullied in this way. The manager would be out on his ear before before he could say Eva Carneiro.
