Newcastle United caretaker boss Glenn Roeder hopes media pressure won't force Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to move abroad.
Roeder told the Sunday Sun: "I think that the fair bit of criticism he has had is because of a human emotion called jealousy. It's amazing.
"I would hate to see him leave because I have enjoyed watching him from a distance as a coach. I find him a very interesting person.
"But I have seen him quoted as saying he does not feel as if he or his team are given the respect they deserve; I can understand where he's coming from.
"I believe that has a lot to do with the British mentality of building someone up and knocking them back down again.
"We build people up to be champions and, when they are, we want the underdog to win. If it's David and Goliath, we'll always support David.
"I don't know whether Jose completely understands that British mentality."
Chelsea's failure to add Champions League glory to their double Premiership success - allied to the club's unrivalled spending power - has cast Mourinho's true ability into question.
But Roeder adds: "He has done a brilliant job. Chelsea have run away with the Premiership title twice - they've basically had it won twice by the New Year.
"He shows no fear whatsoever and because of that he's not frightened to say what's on his mind. Where some people hold back, Jose comes out and speaks his mind.
"It's pretty obvious he doesn't worry if people don't like what he says, so having him here for the past two years has made the Premiership much more interesting.
"He's done a great job winding up some very high-profile managers
Roeder Is Right.............Thank You Roeder and congrats on being the new newcastle boss -

Newcastle United could announce the appointment of Glenn Roeder as manager by Thursday.
The Sunday Sun says claim that Newcastle have already been assured of the almost unanimous support of the 18 clubs with a vote on the issue.
And with United only needing to win two-thirds support to overturn the rule preventing Roeder from becoming Graeme Souness' full-time successor, the caretaker appears home and dry
There Is 19 Clubs excluding Newcastle,Voting On Wheather Roeder Can Be Next Newcastle Manager Despite No Qualification And 18 Clubs Voted Yes..............1 club which might be charlton or bolton as newcastle got intertoto cup place by 2 points ahead of bolton and can get them into UEFA Cup spot and charlton boss Alan.C said roeder should not be next newcastle manager as he dun have the qualification.......but anyway congrats to him........so many voted yes means they think Roeder is a decent chap too -
