When Jose Mourinho was introduced to English football he announced he was a "special one."
Eleven years later his record still justifies his self-claim. At the same time, we also know Mourinho is a rude one, a boorish one, an ungrateful one, a confrontational one, a disrespectful one, a spiteful one and an insulting one, none of which bothers the petulant Portuguese because all that matters to him is that he is a successful one.
Yet even Chelsea fans, who have backed their manager in the wake of multiple disciplinary charges and excesses, agree Mourinho's demoting of Eva Carneiro, the team doctor, was inexplicable, unjustifiable and wrong.
