FA board member Heather Rabbatts has criticised the FA’s handling of the disciplinary case regarding Jose Mourinho’s treatment of Eva Carneiro.
“The FA’s reaction to the treatment of Dr Eva Carneiro has been seriously disappointing,” said Rabbatts. “I have major concerns over the way in which the disciplinary process has been conducted and the lack of an organisational response to the wider issues raised by this case.
“We had an announcement late on Wednesday relating to a high-profile incident which occurred on 8 August, and yet it would appear that during that time no witnesses were requested to speak to the FA, including Dr Carneiro, and in the course of the investigation some media were reporting it was likely that no charge was to be brought. This is on top of a previous case when clear evidence of sexist and abusive chanting from groups of supporters against Dr Carneiro was apparently not seen as sufficient for a charge to be raised.”
