Mourinho cited next season's "very strange" Premiership fixture list as evidence of Dein's sway, even though the FA has no say in those fixtures. He noted that Chelsea play away after their first five Champions League games, including at Newcastle, whereas Arsenal are at home each time. Champions League commitments are not taken into account.
"I am not the most intelligent person in the world but I'm not stupid and since I arrived I have understood things and things don't change," Mourinho said. "I have a five-year contract with Chelsea. Maybe in 2009 or 2010 Mr Dein will not be in the FA any more and we can have a different season. Or maybe Mr Kenyon [the Chelsea chief executive] will be working in the FA."
