‘Wenger is right, you referees are facking weak' – was Jose's rant that led to the ban and another hefty fine
The three-man commission argued a financial penalty "has little or no impact upon his behaviour" after assessing his previous disciplinary matters. He was, though, fined £40,000.
The commission also determined a touchline ban would be insufficient, given he would still have access to the tunnel area. A stadium ban was therefore considered the appropriate penalty.
The referee Jonathan Moss wrote the following report regarding the incident that landed Jose yet another FA charge and punishment.
"When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half-time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho the Chelsea manager was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first-half decisions"
"Rather than publically (sic) speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United security manager.
"Mr Mourinho asked me about a tackle, an offside and a goal-line clearance. I gave him brief answers to his questions. After this I asked him to leave the dressing room area.
"He refused. I asked him again. After he refused again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the room. At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive and animated.
"He shouted that you ******* referees are weak... (Arsenal manager Arsene) Wenger is right about you... you are ******* weak.
"I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in the technical area for the second half due to his actions."
Well, It's not everyday Jose agrees with Wenger
Stadium Ban

Refereeing standards in EPL are slowly becoming embarrassingly poor. Referees are inconsistent and that's what frustrate people more.
Other managers have criticised/moaned/whined/griped/shoved/punched etc.. the officials before and after the match and no comparable charges were handed out to them like they have come down on Jose. It is a well known fact that Jose attract more media attention, hence he is under constant media scrutiny and people take more notice of Jose.
Jose is a victim of his own success

Tway the red top dominated the media in this country and off course it would make sense for any rival fan and especially for those in red top to join their bandwagon.

Jose is banned from being inside the arena, not above it, so how about a stunt to put all others to shame!
How about using a hot air balloon to hover in the airspace above the Britannia Stadium to oversee proceedings, a laundry basket hanging from a bag of hot air, imagine the scene !
