Jose Mourinho needs to take a leaf from the book of... Neil Warnock .
The man affectionately dubbed “Colin” by his players – you can work out the anagram with the rest of the letters in his name – always had a player or two who he took with him to every club.
A player who would gauge the mood of the dressing room and report back to him at the times when the temperature was rising.
A player, who not only kept his manager abreast of the feelings in the camp, but a plater who would have the respect of the rest of the boys as well.
Someone who could tell them: “Look, don’t worry that he has just dug you out, that’s his way of keeping you on your toes and, trust me, he’s doing it for your benefit and the benefit of the group.”
