Jose rages at Blues treatment

Jose Mourinho has attacked the Premiership fixture list and Arsenal's David Dein.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has once again stated his unhappiness with a perceived bias in the fixture list, and has called for Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein's status at the FA to be reassessed.

The Blues boss has been angered with the new Premiership fixtures after Chelsea were handed away ties following the first five of their UEFA Champions League group stage games.

Mourinho has no problem in confronting authority figures and has also made clear his unease at the power Dein currently wields at Soho Square, drawing an implicit link between the favourable fixtures Arsenal enjoy and the influence of their vice-president.

Alluding to allegations of an illegal approach in The Gunners' pursuit of Sevilla star Julio Baptista, Mourinho expressed his dissatisfaction at the relative treatment of the London rivals at the hands of the governing bodies.

"Some are treated as devils, some as angels," Mourinho told a news conference.

"We are not so ugly to be treated like devils and I don't think Arsene Wenger and David Dein are so beautiful to be treated as angels.

"I went to Brazil for a holiday, I didn't go to chase players and have secret meetings with clubs.

"It's the same with the Premier League fixtures.

"After the first five rounds of the Champions League this season Chelsea have an away game while Arsenal are always at home.

"Why do you (the media) have nothing to say about that? Is it only Jose Mourinho who looks at the fixtures who finds something very strange?

"What concerns me is the way you approach different situations in a very different way.

"I am not the world's most intelligent man but I am not stupid. I understand things here, they don't change.

"Maybe in 2009 or 2010 maybe Mr Dein is not in the FA anymore and I can have a different season, or maybe Mr Kenyon (Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon) is working in the FA?

"A person who works in a club should not work in the FA."

Meanwhile Mourinho, turning his attentions to his playing staff, says the return of Hernan Crespo has filled him with more joy than would have been the case had either Adriano or Alberto Gilardino arrived at Chelsea.

Crespo had a fine season on loan at Milan last term and was keen to extend his stay in Serie A, due to his family's desire to remain in Italy, but a deal could not be thrashed out and he returned to Chelsea this week.

The player says he will give his all for Chelsea this term, but may look to move on if his family fail to settle in London.

Mourinho is a huge admirer of the Argentine striker and says he will attempt to find a solution to aid his home life.

"I am no different than Crespo," said Mourinho. "If one day for some reason my family want to move, I think I am the same. It is important to have a happy house, so I would not work at a club without my wife and kids in that city.

"That was why he went back to Italy and the reason why he wanted to stay at Milan. His wife is Italian, his child is adapted to there.

"He moved for not sport reasons. For sport reasons he was open and knows Chelsea is a much better club than two years ago and is happy to come.

"He is ready to fight for us and himself and he is a big player with a reputation to uphold.

"It is now our turn to help to try and help the family settle down and make him and his family happy in London."

Chelsea were linked with the cream of Europe's striking crop this summer, but have failed to complete deals for Gilardino, Adriano or Andrei Shevchenko.

Mourinho is aware of the links, but feels Crespo will be a huge player for Chelsea in the new season.

"If I can have Crespo, Drogba, Carlton Cole and Gudjohnsen, it would be impossible to ask for more," he added.

"Of all the names spoken over the holidays, I prefer to have Crespo."
