Were you not saying that he wasn't doing a bad job at Monaco?

I said he would be unfairly blamed if he got the sack

but I do NOT want him back here, hell no

Why do you not want him here if he was so good at his job?

you reading too much into my comments

I only said he was possibly going to be scapegoated (which he was)

He bought a lot of potentially great young players, tonnes of them, some of whom may end up being superstars

that MO is fine for Monaco

they will play youth

it wont work here

Emenalo is a mid-level team DoF talent

he was out of his league here

Monaco, from the owner down, are a corrupt Russian outfit. The owner, one of Roman's buddies, is out of jail on a 10m euro bond on corruption and racketeering charges

So he scapegoated Emenalo because he is corrupt, makes sense. The team is 19th after 21 games.

I have no idea what you are talking about

that is a complete non sequitur

I was simply adding in more background as to how fucked up Monaco is overall

I guess, if you want to psychoanalyse the VP in terms of projection and failure to take responsibility, then perhaps that may be part of it

If/when Rybolovlev  is convicted, the club may be seized anyway.

he is probably going to end up in the global Trump/Putin meat-grinder, which is exactly why I hope we are sold soon, as Roman is Russian oligarch target number one globally. 

 

more background

Rybolovlev's Rules

A Russian Billionaire's Monaco Fiefdom

In 2011, a Russian billionaire set out to rescue the ailing AS Monaco football club. He invested in top players and invited government, police and justice officials to matches. He handed out both gifts and jobs. Last week, however, Dmitry Rybolovlev was charged with corruption.

Well I hope Emenalo finds an honest boss soon.

Maybe then he can keep his job after the team collects 15 points in 21 games.

Henry didn't help matters. Poor poor manager tactically from what I saw. Didn't really watch enough to give you a complete breakdown

And Emenalo as DoF had nothing to do with his appointment, right?

I am sure he did, which is probably a big part of why he is getting the boot, but the VP should also be sacked, but because its the same old Russian 'mafia' crap (same shit that makes Marina untouchable), he wont be.

Really don't know why you are so drilling down into this whole thing so hard.

Do you you want Emenalo back here?

After such huge failure I agree it is not right to blame only one person. I was arguing for a similar overhaul at Chelsea after Mourinho's last year.

I am beyond that (or really close to it)

I want Ratcliffe to buy us ASAP

but I am not going to keep on about it until I see some further looming dark clouds gathering even more than now

its a touchy subject on here, and I don't want to piss everyone off

plus it involves politics which is another flash point here (as I found out the hard way a month ago)

Why Are There so Many Empty Seats at Juventus Home Games?

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2819418-why-are-there-so-many-empty-seats-at-juventus-home-games?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=programming-UK

Juventus are the last unbeaten side in Europe and have the star attraction of Cristiano Ronaldo wearing their famous black and white strip, yet it has been impossible not to notice the empty seats inside their stadium at home matches recently.
