Mourinho was handed a one-match suspended stadium ban and
fined £50,000 on Wednesday evening after accepting a misconduct charge from the
Football Association for comments he made on the officials in the wake of the
3-1 loss to Southampton on October 3.
"I'm happy that I don't have an electronic tag,"
said the Chelsea
boss, who was speaking at Waterstones
Piccadilly to promote his book MOURINHO.
"£50,000 is a disgrace. The possibility of getting a
stadium ban is astonishing."
Mourinho felt aggrieved Wenger went unpunished for calling
referee Mike Dean "weak" and "naive"
following Arsenal's defeat to Chelsea last month.
Yet the Portuguese was sanctioned for his criticism of
Robert Madeley, the official in the loss to Saints.
Wenger also escaped punishment for pushing Mourinho in the
Stamford Bridge technical area in October 2014, something which still grates
with the Chelsea boss.
"The difference between afraid and weak and naive is
£10,000 and one-match stadium ban," said Mourinho, who will be banned from
the stadium if he speaks out of turn again in the next 12 months.
"Afraid costs £50,000. Weak and naive - you can do
it."
In a clear reference to Wenger, Mourinho added: "We can
push people in the technical area.
