I expect she will be “sent out on loan” to Vitesse Arnhem.

Mourinho has made it quite clear that results come way before the welfare of his own players.
Even if he thinks that, it is polite to pretend you care about them.
If Jose wishes to continue like this we will have a ref waving on medical staff for a head injury and the Chelsea bench will say no, let them recover if they can and we’ll keep them on the pitch.
Very poor management in an era when player welfare has crept up the agenda.
Or is he just so used to coaching them to dive that he knows there is no requirement for treatment?..
Either way he looks a dick.

Whatever the situation, any disgruntlement should not handled publically.
Maybe Jose should criticise Hazard who was writhing on the floor when he didn’t need treatment when they were down to ten men.

Bloody disgrace. I am a fan of Jose, but he has lost the plot on this one and the club need to come out and defend the medic, the main priority over the the result of the game is the health of a player on the field. She was doing her job!
I think they should point the finger at the player that was sent off, or the player if he was not that seriously injured or even the tactics of ‘the special one’. Idiot!

It’s all down to Jose not being to accept the blame for not winning, he’s got to find a scape goat, anyone that is not him.
I think it’s disgusting the way she has been singled out by Jose and he should damn well apologise publicly!

Its probably simpler than that, Jose wanted his leg over and she turned him down as JT was already getting across it. this is Jose’s way of getting her out the picture.
I’m a Jose fan, think he’s great value and obviously a top coach. That said, think he has made an utter prat of himself on this one.
I get why he has done it, it’s what he always does. When his team play badly, there is always someone else to blame, he makes a big song and dance about it, then the following week all anyone talks about is him/said person in the blame. It’s the same again now, ultimately Chelsea played crap and Swansea, to their immense credit, played really well.
Hanging out a highly respected doctor, and member of club staff to dry like that in the media is out of line. It’s also lacking in class, though that isn’t unfamiliar territory for Jose either.

He’s picked the wrong battle here, imo.
There’s no way he comes out of this looking good without a lot of humility.
Hey, how come @KRG gets lot of vote ups for saying the same as me but more flowery?? It’s not fair…

Mourinho has dug himself an enormous hole. Until now, anything he’s said, regardless of how abusive it’s been (and it’s been very), has been applauded in the sports pages. It’s Jose being Jose, and they all love an ‘entertainer’.
Unfortunately, the entertainer seems to have believed his own publicity. By screaming like a spoilt toddler at the club doctor, who was merely acting under instructions from the referee, and then following it up with the various humilating ‘conditions’ which effectively has removed her from the ability to do her job, he’s done two things.
First, Mourinho’s super-reinforced ego wan’t allow him back down from a situation that severely embarrasses his own boss, Abamovich, who hates bad publicity. In this sense Mourinho is his own jailer.
And second, Eva Carneiro will very shortly be forced out ,and so can do little else other than to claim constructive dismissal. All of which will draw out the bad publicity and possibly drag Mourinho into the courtroom.
Football itself doesn’t come of this too well either. Tony Cascarino in the Times today tries to make out that Carneiro’s real offence was to place a very guarded and simple message of thanks on her Facebook page. It’s a pathetic argument, and the guy is clearly too stupid to be walking the streets. But worse than that, it’s given the macho neanderthals a chance to crow about about how football is a ‘man’s’ game and that Carneiro shouldn’t be anywhere near it.
The whole thing is pathetic.

He’s quite happy to talk utter bollocks, and hang innocent employees out to dry, if it stops people asking why Chelsea can’t beat Swansea at home. He’ll consider this shitstorm a Win.
The best thing the media could’ve done is ignore his comments entirely, cut them from the broadcast, and only report the failings of his cunt team.
Edit: I mean like KRG said.

One thing I am sure of is that this will never ever go near a court room. When she goes, it will be with a sod off great cheque courtesy of her publicity shy employer.

Eva Carneiro strikes me as a pretty tough-minded woman who’ll make her own mind up about her next move.
Let’s wait and see.
In the meantime, David Conn in The Guardian makes a very good point about Chelsea’s total silence on the whole controversy. Given that Mourinho has done some pretty extraordinary things in the past - including gouging another manager’s eye - I wonder what they’re thinking…

There is no defence for his actions. There will be a big pay out and she and the bloke can go and sit on the bench without such a baby as a manager!
