Well, the news has come to us courtesy of Daily Telegraph football writer Henry Winter that certain charitably minded Chelsea Football Club supporters have decided to stump up for a sometimes impetuous football man who was slapped with a crippling £8,000 fine for some minor indiscretions recently.
#cfc fans angry with Foy's refereeing of Villa game will hold collections before Swansea/Sunderland games to help pay Mourinho's £8,000 fine

Jose Mourinho only earned 14.8 million in his final season with Read Madrid, 2012/13. And it has been reported that he had to take a pay cut when joining Chelsea. The FA decided to ignore this when hitting him with a prohibitive £8,000 fine for running onto the pitch and confronting referee Chris Foy after the sending off of Ramires during Chelsea's defeat at Villa Park, in a decision which took no account of his changed financial circumstances.
So please, keep those donations coming in.
If you wish to make a donation to the Mourinho fund, contact Chelsea football club at 0871 984 1955 and request that they put your donation through to the club manager (they may not do this).
