Chelsea boss Mourinho: Kenyon has been fantastic
tribalfooball.com - April 14, 2007
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says chief executive Peter Kenyon has been "fantastic" in the way he has supported him at Stamford Bridge.
Kenyon is trying to broker peace talks and Blues owner Roman Abramovich has indicated he will eventually discuss the future with his boss - but for now the cold war remains.
Mourinho is chasing an unprecedented Quadruple and the latest step on the road is an FA Cup semi-final against Blackburn at Old Trafford tomorrow.
He said: "I have told them I want to stay. I have spoken to Peter Kenyon and met with him a lot."
Asked if Kenyon was on his side, Mourinho replied: "Of course, since the first day, more than ever, as always. Fantastic.
"When I said I wanted to stay Peter Kenyon told me 'great, I'm very happy with your decision'."
Mourinho says he has instructed his agent not to talk to Real Madrid.
The Chelsea boss risks losing a £15million pay-off if it can be proved he has had contact with other clubs.
Mourinho added: "My contract is here. I've forbidden my agent to speak to other clubs - I can't do more than that. I've told the board, the players and fans I want to stay 200 times."
Yes you are right.
