Incompetent investigation into Chelsea

The favouritism shown to Chelsea each season we have seen continue today with the sort of refereeing decisions they regularly get. 

This was confirmed by the FA investigation into manager Jose Mourinho which from th outside appears to be nothing more than a whitewash with a pre-determined outcome. They have found the answer they wanted to find by astoundingly not asking the victim for any evidence.



They were investigating alleged remarks made to former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro by Jose Mourinho during this season's game against Swansea. She was not asked to make a statement and was the subject of sexual abuse at the West Ham game last season, again the FA refused to ask her for a statement.

"I was surprised to learn that the FA was allegedly investigating the incident of 8th of August via the press. I was at no stage requested by the FA to make a statement. 

"I wonder whether this might be the only formal investigation in this country where the evidence of the individuals involved in the incident was not considered relevant. Choosing to ignore some of the evidence will surely influence the outcome of the findings. 

"Last season I had a similar experience at a game at West Ham FC, where I was subject to verbal abuse. Following complaints by the public, the FA produced a communication to the press saying there had been no sexist chanting during this game. At no time was I approached for a statement despite the fact that vile unacceptable, sexually explicit abuse was clearly heard. 

"It is incidents such as these and the lack of support from the football authorities that make it so difficult for women in the game."

Clearly the investigation isn't intended to find the truth or intended to punish unacceptable behaviour. To not ask a victim to make a statement is inexplicable in any competent investigation.
