Maureen's latest publicity stunt was always going to happen. He's a showman, a performer, and he'll stoop to any level in order to maintain a high profile within the sport. He has got to do this because he knows he is unlikely to ever manage in the Premier league again, and that is where the kudos is, the money, the adulation - the attention he so obviously craves.
His outbursts and histrionics are what keeps him relevant, it's certainly not his style of football that generates public interest. So off he goes again, the ringmaster in the travelling circus that is Mourinho: the flamboyant Master of Ceremonies, the Liberace of football takes centre stage yet again.
