Sorry seems to be the hardest word for misogynist Mourinho

IS EVA CARNEIRO a member of Generation Snowflake? Author Claire Fox has identified an emerging breed of women who all have a belligerent sense of entitlement, and believe their emotional suffering takes precedence over everything.

They also assume that if you express a view they disagree with or perhaps suggest their efforts at work are not up to scratch, then you must immediately recant and apologise otherwise they will thcream and thcream until they are sick. Does that sound like Dr Carneiro to you?

not to me. The sports doctor accepted a confidential settlement — reputed to be around £5 million — in a sexism battle with her former club Chelsea FC and its then manager Jose Mourinho.

Many headlines focused on the fact that Mourinho swore at her when she rushed to attend to a player on the pitch. yet far, far worse was his later assertion that she was impulsive and naive and did not understand football — demeaning accusations often levelled at women in the game. Accusations that could have professionally destroyed her.

And while the amounts involved seem excessive to us, they are not in a world where a turnip-brained 18-year-old can earn £50,000 a week.

While that might be obscene, it is not Eva Carneiro’s fault.

She is no fragile, thin-skinned Generation Snowflake softie.

She won a substantial financial settlement, and an apology from the club, but not from Mourinho himself.

Typical. In many ways, this case was more about him than her. And the fact that some men can never, ever say sorry.
