Paul Parker Slams Jose Mourinho, Per Mertesacker, Mikel Arteta and More

Former Chelsea and Manchester United defender Paul Parker has launched a scathing attack on Blues manager Jose Mourinho, comparing the Portuguese to a cowardly child in a school playground.

In his column for Eurosport, Parker touched upon recent comments made by Mourinho in reference to former Blues left-back Graeme Le Saux, and certainly didn’t hold back in his assessment of the Chelsea boss’ conduct on the sidelines:

It's horrible to see. Mourinho had actually gone out of the spotlight a little bit in the last few weeks, and there was a part of me that wondered if he'd finally realised that silence is golden, and that a manager can act with dignity and respect.
