Poor old Jose is sandwiched between those at Stamford Bridge who want to control media output and those who would like to know what the manager thinks about Saturday's match against Newcastle United ie US, the fans.
On Chelsea's propaganda mouthpiece, ie their website, they state that reports, this week about Roman Abramovich ordering an inquest into recent results as false.
As a result, rather than letting Jose denounce them in his pre-match media conference, he is now not going to speak to the media in general.
Maybe Jose will have something to say, after tomorrow's Premiership encounter against in-form Newcastle.
If he does, it will be on Champions-Mad right after the match.
