Chelsea transfer guru Michael Emenalo 'fighting for his job after disastrous start to season'

The same logic should be applied to Emenalo as with Mourinho: one poor spell should not overshadow a previously prosperous relationship.

The same logic should be applied to Emenalo as with Mourinho: one poor spell should not overshadow a previously prosperous relationship.

I agree, but this should be a massive lesson learnt and I hope that Emenalo has been spoken too about it. The previous season saw us do business so quickly that the squad was settled and new players bedded in with immediate effect. There was no need to change tact or outlook just because we won the title, but I think the board, JM and the players are very guilty of resting on their laurels in a big, big way.

Was Emenalo behind Djilobodji and hector sigining???

who else? Mourinho said he did not know the players but a person he trusts and who is in charge of transfers acquired them aka the technical director.

[iseah100 5,612]

He sold Mata, KDB, Andre, Salah, and Luiz. Fire him.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Hahaha back to Emenalo hey, poor guy can't catch a break

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Emenalo signed Hazard, Oscar, Azpilicueta, Salah, Zouma, De Bruyne, Courtois, Lukaku in a span of a few years. Not his fault our manager sold half and can't develop the remaining. I'd blame Mourinho but we were stupid for bringing him in with such a talented squad in place.

A few short term signings later and that incredibly gifted 12/13 squad has been completely dismantled.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Good. He is not untouchable. He should take the blame too.

Lol lets blame everybody except the manager right

[the wes 7,212]

Lol lets blame everybody except the manager right

i blame the ballboys for not giving the ball quick enough to the players (wee joke)

[cosmicway 1,323]

The person who was in charge of the transfers this summer should be fired as soon as possible, I still can't believe why we didn't strengthen our squad.

That person ain't the board.

Not in British type of management at any rate.

The boards only give info relevant to the budget to the managers.

[Ossie the King 634]

So Michael Emenalo....is he now the chief architect of what our philosophy should be? Is that who is now the most senior footballing mind at the club?

What a fucking joke.

Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham face tough period because of stadium project

• ‘Arsène Wenger said Arsenal’s toughest time was when they built stadium’
• ‘We need to arrive at new stadium in good condition to fight for everything’

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/feb/04/mauricio-pochettino-tottenham-hotspur-tough-stadium-project

 

If this how it was for Arsenal and Pochettino is saying the same thing about Tottenham then we have to face it guys that it's happening to us as well.

We have been cutting back and it's mainly because of the new stadium.

In that case sacking Mourinho was the perfect thing to do because apparently that guy can't win if we don't spend.

So if this being the case we definitely need managers like Pochettino and Wenger that are good at penny pinching and bringing youth. Because that will be us for the following years till the new stadium is up and running.

Don't know if people here heard of the website Football Leaks which regularly leaks contracts of footballers. 

There are a few of our own here https://footballleaks2015.wordpress.com/?s=chelsea  

And I couldn't help but notice that David Barnard is the one who signs in every contract, surely is part of "the board" that have a say in transfers and that we have been criticizing for months now ? Or is he just signing his name on contracts ?

Anyway, thought id tell you guys, might come in handy as info
