The day after acerbically describing Jose Mourinho as "an enemy of football",
the chairman of UEFA's referees committee, Volker Roth, yesterday announced
there would be a "demonstration of solidarity among referees" for Anders Frisk,
whose life has been made a misery by Mourinho. Solidarity? A strike? Unlikely.
Maybe officials will wear wrist-bands inscribed "No Way, Jose". Even when UEFA
try to snarl, they do not show any teeth.

UEFA裁判主席嚴厲抨擊JM之外, 表示裁判們會團結一致聯合對外? 罷工? 都不可能,
也許他們可以在戴上刻有"NO WAY, Jose"的臂章. UEFA不移餘力對外表達氣憤,
但除此之外, 並無具體嚇阻行動

UEFA talk a lot, but do little. European football's governing body fear the
power of major clubs like Chelsea and especially the sharp minds and claws
of their legal eagles. Like headmasters aware the school bully is the real
power in the playground, the Nyon suits confine themselves to reprimands and
paltry fines. Just look at UEFA's weak record on combating racism; they love
a banner but never a ban. When 20,000 England fans chanted "I'd rather be a
Paki than a Turk" at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, the FA were fined
￡70,000, roughly what they made on programme sales that evening.

UEFA顧慮到像切爾西這樣的既狡猾又不乏龐大律師團隊作後盾的大俱樂部, 以反種族歧視
為例, 總是喜歡充滿象徵意義的"橫幅標語",卻從沒有明確的取締. 當兩萬英格蘭球迷在
比賽當中不停唱著:"我寧願當巴基斯坦人, 也不要當土耳其人", FA被罰款七萬, 這金額
大約是當天比賽的收入.

A UEFA fine would not stop the Portuguese prince of wiles from playing his
mind-games. Missed press conference? ￡20,000 fine? No problem. Late for
the second half? ￡15,000? Small change. Damaging Frisk's reputation? ￡40,000
fine and a warning? OK. Mourinho has just been signed up by American Express,
so he could put the whole UEFA tab on his card. That'll do nicely. UEFA's
indignation is utterly correct but their sanctions are laughable. Mourinho
resembles the Spice Boy who asked Liverpool's then manager, Roy Evans, how
much he would be fined if he skipped training to attend a London photo-shoot
and, when told it would be ￡10,000, promptly wrote out a cheque and dashed
for the airport.

UEFA的任何罰款將嚇阻不了詭計多端的葡萄牙人, 未出席記者會罰兩萬? 沒問題. 下半場
延遲出場罰一萬五? 未見改善. 導致Frisk名譽受損罰四萬並記警告一次, 可以. JM才
接下美國運通的代言合約, 剛好可以刷卡付UEFA的罰款帳單.

Mourinho and Chelsea do not care about UEFA. Or the Premier League. Even in
the wearisome Ashley "it's all Chelsea's fault" Cole tapping-up saga, the
Premier League will not have the nerve to impose a sufficient sanction on
Stamford "it's all Ashley Cole's fault" Bridge. A ￡50,000 fine will hardly
alarm a billionaire like Roman Abramovich. Even if Nick Fitzpatrick, the
Premier League lawyer at Denton Wilde Sapte who has been interviewing Cole
and company, decides tomorrow there is a case to answer, and the Premier
League then appoint an independent commission of QC, former football
administrator and ex-police chief, the possibility of meaningful punishment
will be slim.

JM和切爾西並不擔心UEFA或FA(?),即使Cole事件, FA也將不會有實際的譴責行動, 罰款
五萬對阿布拉莫維奇不算是什麼警告.

If the Premier League had real nerve, and were prepared to tackle Chelsea's
lawyers, they would impose an embargo on any signings for one transfer
window. So Chelsea could not buy any players this summer, having to wait
for reinforcements like Steven Gerrard next January.

FA若有膽量, 有充分準備與切爾西的律師們正面交鋒, 他們可以禁止切爾西在轉會期進行
購買或賣出任何球員.

But don't hold your breath. The Premier League know that tapping-up is a
widespread activity and Chelsea could easily shine an embarrassing torch on
to the stalking of players in the shadows. Ultimately, Chelsea do not care
because they are collecting trophies under Mourinho. Just talk to the players
atthe buoyant Bridge, particularly the English ones, and they adore Mourinho.
He has guided John Terry, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole to the promised land of
winner's medals. He has transformed Cole. "Because he keeps the pressure off
the players with the way he is, he is well-respected," said David Beckham,
the Real Madrid midfielder, yesterday.

最終, 只要擁有很多冠軍獎盃, 切爾西還是不在乎一切調查, 只要問切爾西球員, 尤其是
英國本土球員, 他們敬重JM, 在他的帶領下每個人都有傑出的發揮與進步, 誠如貝克漢姆
所說:"他致力讓壓力遠離球員, 這一點他值得球員的尊敬."

Mourinho keeps the pressure off his players brilliantly, transferring it all
on to himself by picking fights and distracting attention from the team's
travails during defeats at St James' Park and the Nou Camp. Sir Alex Ferguson
built an empire on a siege mentality and Mourinho is now following suit,
assisted by the authorities' frailties.

JM到處惹事生非讓焦點集中在他身上這一點作的非常出色，這也是承襲佛格森的作法，　
而監督機構也間接的從旁協助。
