Mourinho gets Chelsea OK for defender
signing
tribalfooball.com - January 14, 2007
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been handed new transfer cash for
the winter market as a peace-offering from the board.
The Sun says a compromise has been brokered by chief executive
Peter Kenyon which will allow a new defender to be bought this
month.
If Blues boss Mourinho is satisfied with the olive branch, all
discussion about his future at the club will be postponed until
after the season has finished.
The Blues boss will be asked to speak only about football matters
and both sides will put an end to the public bickering which has
erupted in the past three weeks.
The Portuguese coach has yet to agree to the truce offer and will
wait to see if club powerbrokers honour the pledge by signing a
player who he has recommended.
The Chelsea manager's first choice is Micah Richards.
