The Equaliser
Player Valuation: £50m
There is no media campaign against Everton per se. But there has been a campaign by your manager, conducted through the media, to unsettle the player and get him to force through a transfer so that Chelsea could get him on the cheap. As Mourinho, in conjunction with Terry and others, used the media to do this, it has resulted in a some Evertonians drawing the conclusion that there is a media campaign against us.
Perhaps if Chelsea, as one of the richest clubs in the PL, had come up with a proper offer 6 weeks ago and Mourinho hadn't adopted such underhand tactics in order to secure the player the outcome to this saga might have been different. As it is, Mourinho got exactly what he deserved, and the media who adore his every word are seen by the supporters of this club as having been vanquished.
