Mourhino is in charge of a Spanish side so he can probably do more of less what he wants...Originally Posted by gunnerrrrr
Mourinho did it to a Barcunt though so its fine
Thats the way the cookie crumbles tbh. If it was Gaudiola, would not have even been brought up just hidden, Uefa are a joke and something needs to be done seriously.
Corruption
I am going to do something that I haven't done for a while and take Arsene Wenger's side, I don't believe he has deliberately flouted the rules and I don't believe he would persist in saying that he sought clarification with UEFA if he was lying....I think UEFA could have put it down to a misunderstanding and instead of stepping in and punishing genuine offenders and rule flouters like Jose Mourinho, they are making an example of Wenger because he dared criticize one of their referees.
I think they are being petty and vindictive, the same way any corrupt organisation would behave.
And anyone going on about it being smokescreen for lack of signings, the two are completely different issues......we are not going to sign anyone before this game against Udinese anyway because it could be any targets we do have won't sign for a club not playing champions league football, also it could be we won't sign anyone full stop......and that would be a disgrace and I would have nothing but contempt for Wenger for this, but on this UEFA issue I sympathise with him.
To be fair on Pep Guardiola, there's nothing I have seen about him as a coach that would lead me to believe he would behave like that. Mourinho has thrived on negative publicity because it came hand in hand with winning and he could put it down to schadenfreude on the part of his detractors, but now the shit don't smell so sweet he is becoming frustrated, aggressive and his rants seem more genuinely delusional rather than tactical mind games.
To be honest this doesn't matter, AW doesn't make an ounce of difference from the sidelines...it might do us good you never know.
Moreover you should be able to plan for a match beforehand, specifying substitutions, what to do if players in positions get sent off etc. You can't cover everything but you can do a fair amount, shouldn't really be a problem.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...arsene-wenger?Arsenal have reacted furiously after Uefa found Arsène Wenger guilty of failing to abide by the rules of his touchline ban and imposed a new two-match suspension on the Frenchman which could leave him watching Wednesday's Champions League play-off second leg at Udinese from the stands.
The club have appealed against the decision, which was announced on Monday morning, on the basis that Uefa's venue director had apparently indicated in the build-up to last week's first leg that the manager could communicate with his bench via a third party. Arsenal hope to hear on Tuesday whether Wenger will be permitted to sit on the bench at the Stadio Friuli pending the hearing of that appeal, though the governing body could delay that decision until much closer to kick-off.
Arsenal's dismay is born of assurances supposedly delivered by the Uefa official on site at the Emirates Stadium to the club's company secretary when clarification was sought last Monday over what Wenger would be permitted to do on match day. The club insist they were told that Wenger would be allowed to relay messages to his assistant, Pat Rice, on the bench through the first-team coach Boro Primorac, who was in telephone contact with the technical area while sitting next to the manager in the stand. That evidence was submitted to Uefa with witness statements from those who attended the standard "match day minus one" meeting.
Yet Uefa, which believes the club should have directed their pre-match query directly to its control and disciplinary body rather than to the venue delegate, informed them at half-time on the match night that communication via a third party was against the rules. As a result, the governing body also fined Arsenal €10,000 (£8,700) for the "improper conduct of their officials" during the game.
"The Uefa disciplinary regulations stipulate that a manager may not communicate with his team during a fixture for which he is suspended and may follow the game from the stands only," it said. "Wenger is therefore suspended for Arsenal's second-leg match against Udinese in Italy and then the next Uefa competition fixture for which he would be eligible."
Arsenal won the first leg 1-0 courtesy of Theo Walcott's early goal. Wenger, who declined to perform his post-match media duties that night, is baffled by Uefa's decision to open new disciplinary proceedings against him. "Frankly, you don't ever know what a manager's ban is," the Frenchman said last Friday. "I did not communicate with the bench. I did watch the game from the directors' box. That was quite enjoyable. That's it. We had spoken to Uefa prior to the game. That's what we did. They gave us rules and we observed strictly what they told us. After the game, or during the game, the rules changed."
Good stuff.
The King Is Back.
Bit of a joke this is.
Uefa cunts.
