Jose Mourinho to publicly condemn racist Chelsea fans caught on camera in Paris

 
Simon Johnson19 February 2015

Jose Mourinho will speak out against Chelsea's disgraced supporters in tomorrow's pre-match press conference as the club grow increasingly confident they will catch all those responsible of racism in Paris.

Mourinho is believed to be willing to address the shameful incident following Chelsea's Champions League game at Paris Saint Germain, when a black man was prevented from boarding a Metro train.

A song of 'we're racists and that's the way we like it' followed and has been condemned by the football fraternity.

Metropolitan Police and their French counterparts are working together to track those responsible down and it is understood Chelsea fans are coming forward in their droves to name and shame the guilty parties.

A number of names are believed to have already been offered, but Chelsea will take as long as it takes to track everyone down.

Should anyone be found to be a club member, season ticket holder or Chelsea fan, they will be banned from Stamford Bridge for life.

Chelsea have already released a statement condemning the incident in the French capital, but have sent out another to appeal for more witnesses.

It read: "Chelsea Football Club is appealing for witnesses regarding the reported incident on public transport in Paris.

"To help us with our investigations and to identify those persons involved, we ask those who were present to forward their observations, in the strictest confidence, to customer.services@chelseafc.com."

Mourinho was already going to conduct a press conference on Friday afternoon to speak about their game at home to Burnley.

But he is prepared to discuss the issue and back up the club's strong stance that racism will not be tolerated.
