Jose Mourinho's Mum has told reporters that her son has refused to get up for school this morning and there has been nothing she could do to make him change his mind.
Jose Mourinho the 12 year old in year 8 has report ably refused to go to school this morning after being turned down for head boy last week.
When the alarm went off at 7.30am this morning he stuck his head under the cover and initially said something about not feeling very well.
This cut no ice with his Mum who ripped off the duvet and warned that he would not be allowed out to play this evening, this did not change the mind of the precocious youngster who was by now close to tears.
After a one to one chat, his Mum found out that he was being bullied, the big Russian boy in 8C had been picking on him again and making threats, the gang who hang around the away section had also been taunting him, but what was really upsetting him was that his former best friends who produce the school magazine were no longer talking to him and printing nasty things for the whole school to see.
One of his friends had also been pushed over by a big Dutch boy in the playground and despite the fact that he had been only yards away, the head playground monitor had ignored it, even telling off Jose's friend for trying to get the Dutch boy in trouble.
Also his favourite football team had lost at the weekend.
His Mum suggested that perhaps a change of school might be the solution, one that would pander to his every need and where the other pupils would not bully him , but Mummy's brave little soldier was made of sterner stuff and said.
"I do not quit, they might expel me or give me detention every night for a month, but I do not quit they have to expel me"
After telling he son that he was still he little special one, Jose or Jo Jo (pronounced ho ho) to his Mum, tearfully said he might be up to going in after lunch but only if it stopped raining.
