Jose Mourinho Mocks Glacial Pace of Manchester City’s Financial Case as Appeal Proceedings Loom

Vitor Reis and other youngster in the Man City dressing room will be closely monitoring the club's appeal proceedings. If there is one man who has rarely needed an invitation to share an opinion, it is Mourinho.

English football’s biggest and longest-running controversy was never likely to slip past him. The subject of Manchester City ’s financial case has been commented on from almost every corner of the game, and now one of its most familiar voices has weighed in.

His career-long rival Pep Guardiola may not be managing in Manchester anymore, but Mourinho - who has taken charge of three major Premier League rivals and is now back at Real Madrid - has battled with City dozens of times over the years.
