FA fine Chelsea boss Mourinho for referee comments

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been fined £25,000 for comments claiming there is a "campaign" to influence referees' decisions against his Chelsea side. Mourinho made his comments after his side were denied a penalty in the1-1 draw with Southampton on 28 December.

The Football Association ruled Mourinho's quotes were "improper and brought the game into disrepute".

But the Blues boss, who was warned about his future conduct, was cleared of implying bias by referees.
