The end for women in football?

Mourinho and former club acted to silence 'scandalous' sexism allegations
Battered out deal in court corridor - thought to be worth £5m to Dr Carneiro
Deal reached just minutes before 42-year-old took to the witness stand
Alleged Mourinho branded her a 'daughter of a whore' after she ran on to the pitch to treat an injured player

Q) Would a man be entitled to a reported £5mil payout as a Dr in football for being called a son of a bitch?

A spokesperson for Women in Football said: "Women in Football are delighted that Eva’s name has been rightly cleared and her professional reputation as a doctor upheld.

Women In Football (WIF) Full Statement reads:

Eva has been courageous in her fight for a public apology from Chelsea and acknowledgement that on the day in question she was simply doing her job.

We completely deplore and condemn her treatment by the club since and welcome their unreserved apology.

We believe that every female employee in the football industry has the right to go about their working lives without being targeted for or subjected to discriminatory abuse.

In addition it is also disappointing that Dr Carneiro's understanding of football was called into question when she was acting with professionalism and integrity and doing her duty as club doctor. Jose Mourinho's post-match comments and the club's subsequent actions questioned and put at risk her professional reputation and a career which so far has been immaculate. No one should be prevented from doing their job in this way.

WIF hope that by working with football authorities and clubs we can bring about a greater understanding of the barriers in the industry that women routinely face and that more women will follow Eva’s example by standing up for equality.”

running onto the pitch cos a player is fatigued is not conducive to winning football matches.
