I think some people need to understand how top clubs/businesses are run

For those interested Steve Frankham has stepped down as Chairman of Chelsea Pitch Owners for personal reasons, with immediate efffect but remains a director of Chelsea Pitch owners. Director Charles Rose takes over as acting Chairman. Chelsea Pitch Owners AGM is on 29 January.

Jimmy Hills fault.

If he was still at Chels it would be "Chelsea star takes seat from pensioner" or "Chelsea thug pushes black man off a train" http://metro.co.uk/2016/01/06/arsenal-star-petr-cech-gets-rush-hour-train-home-with-commuters-5605075/

I'd be more concerned if there werent training bust ups, used to happen to us all the time. 99% of the time someone does a heavy tackle and gets it back. More to the point, this is news ?

Fair enough, and welcome by the way. Apart from the media -which we know for the main part is bollocks and we can add the clubs statements to that as well, not really a lot to go on though until events happen. That said we have to rely on the media to an extent- how else for example, did people know he didnt have an agent ? Rhetorical question.

As I said allegedly. It was October or November -London Standard. Anyway looks like he will be dribbling round Spain, though wouldnt be surprised if he goes in the Summer

Claudio got another five points http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/latest-news/leicester-city-manager-gets-five-points-and-hefty-fine-from-peterborough-court-after-hitting-nearly-100mph-on-a14-1-7147600#ixzz3wTysz13c

Ahh! I know he allegedly instructed his agent couple of months ago he wanted to go to Madrid -didnt know hed got rid of the parasite. Fair play to him I stand corrected, like the man in orthopaedic shoes

Kane has scored three times as many though, and got three in his first three. No brainer really. What people should do if they want kids to play is e mail the club. Should be some interesting responses http://www.chelseafc.com/the-club/about-chelsea-football-club/contact-us/contact-general.html

Ipso facto Chelsea are 'pussys'. Superb. Maybe their owners are more forgiving, not so demanding or expectant Then again are they as successful ?

Just like with Robben, its his agent chasing the dollar....

I wouldnt say he was living off his past reputation that much, though his record spoke for itself, so maybe there was a bit of an extension to his tenure this time round that other managers wouldnt get in this era of Short Termism. Mourinhos face looked so pissed off and devoid of passion in his post match PCs (bit like Hazard when hes playing now) np twinkly eyed mischief making as with before. So much shit hanging round like a big nappy- players not performing, lack of transfers, Evagate, his dad seriously ill -should have taken a sabbatical imo

Thing is if the yoof were played against Scunthorpe and we lost we are talking about a business losing a lot of money /revenue. No employee of that business (Guus) would want to take the rap for that and have to justify it to Emanalo/Buck/Abramovich. Even teams like Villa down in teh depths dont experiment wiv da yoof, financial demands dictate you play the most expensive assets at all times

Have to have a Bale song, similar to the Willian one

Worth getting Bale just to piss off the Sp*rs

Too right-think we'd all sue a rich employer given the chance, but as you say the way she was humiliated adds another dimension. That said shes been encouraged by the media who always love a circus , especially if its at Chelseas expense, and indeed by some politicians. I have represented people at tribunals and rarely do they want to be reinstated, just compensation -but in this instance, now Mourinhos gone, she could receive compensation and want to come back and who could blame her -though I expect the club would like to pay her off and see her go quietly.

Plenty of gossip linking him with RM and Bale being available. Utd allegedly after Bale as well so Hazard offered would probably swing it our way. Hazard obviously isnt happy, maybe its the physicality and challenges of the PL, and the amount hes fouled. Bale is more accustomed to our league on that score.

Fat waiters agent must be a really shit hot salesman. Some of the positions hes found himself in are ludicrous.

Thanks for pointing out that it didnt happen. Stoke will fuck them over at Shitfield. Possibly.

Well it could be a good move .Arnesen -kakuta, kalou, Malouda, Mikel, Bertrand, Sturridge, Stoch, Borini, Bruma, Matic, Bertrand v The ex Notts County Defender Man of Mystery

Whos been criticising since day 1 ? and hate to sound like Chels or something ;D but he is a standing joke at the ground with fans. Its not what has he done so badly, more to the point what has he done ? No one knows. All we know is that a totally unqualified person 'bibs and cones' Grant, recommended him to Abramovich and hes been here ever since, which according to most media is just to report back to the owner, ipso facto he could be implicated in telling tales. Now whether thats true or not, someone like Arnesen is much better qualifiedto fill such an important role, so its strange one of the richest clubs in the world chooses a Technical Director like Emanalo to have hanging around. Perhaps hes brilliant -but lets see the evidence. Again I dont think anyone is blaming him for lack of transfers, but the flip side we cant credit him with any transfers either. The detractors are as bad/good as the Emanalo fans, but to my mind a Technical director vacancy at one of the elite clubs should be filled by someone of exceptional calibre, rather than the mate of a mate

Youre right he has it both ways. As do the board and owner. .Hes teflon, been there since Grant and has seen the comings and sackings/goings of Grant, Scolari, Hiddink, Carlo, AVB, Di Matteo, Benitez, Mourinho and Guus again. Much of the media say hes Abramovichs eyes and ears -says more about insecurity than anything else Anyway, whoever comes as manager I dont expect longevity in this climate of Short Termism. He wont be around long. Steve Parish (Palace chairman) put it succinctly after Jose was booted out ''You are a genius when you win. An absolute genius. You can feel the love of the fans, and its amazing. But then you lose a couple of games and you are a moron. The pundits question your judgement. Its so black and white, and doesnt make sense'' Perhaps it does though -its all about instant success - and football is no longer a pastime its all the fucking time.-talksported to death. Consequently PR conscious clubs respond to a fog of media negativity with kneejerk desperation, resulting in the next disposable manager.

Yup, that was Joses philosophy apparently according to wee Pat after his acrimonious departure from Camp Nou. To not worry about possession, to let them wear themselves out, and do them on the break. -so aptly demonstrated by the CFC dvd (mines almost worn oit ) 'the greatest game' when we won 4-2 against the Catalans

Probably needs to upgrade . Lots of the new features dont appear on old browsers
