The Board

[Special Juan 27,429]

Oscar scored that goal v Juventus and that was it, another massive middle of the road player. I'd still have the waste of space here over Bakayoko, says a lot.

[El P. 1,354]

We are losing every fuckin game and not a single "moaning" post here?

Well, fuck you board. And fuck you mister Abramovich. Incompetent bastards.

YOU brought this to us!

[Georgy 439]

I can't understand the reasoning behind loaning Ruben and selling Chalobah just to buy Bakayoko and Drinkwater for 75 mil. I just can't understand, not only are they arguably worse but we lost money on them as well. With those 75 mil we could've got that Serbian dude from Napoli.

[El P. 1,354]

Damn it's lonely up here. Please people, join the parteeeey!

Can I have a poll here? "Do you still think the board with mr Abramovich at it's head still knows what's the best for a club?"

Fuckin cripples. Chelsea pre-2003 was better than this, and it could be again.

EDIT:               , here is a drink for anyone who joins the party.

[yuvala 2,167]

This cycle is just going to keep happening over and over .. fucking sick of it.

I feel your pain but please do not forget what Mr Abramovich has done for us.

I am doing this for our fans to see that board can be (heavily) criticized too. Why always put blame on manager? Ok, Abramovich might not leave, but Marina, or whoever is in charge of transfers? Why not? They are doing shit for years now, and fans are doing what? Sitting their asses, writing in Contes' thread that he is not perfect manager. Lol, he was never perfect, and there is no perfect manager. It's not like we didn't know that he wasn't perfect. and he doesn't need to be. He is very good manager, or at least good manager. Our board stuff isn't good, at all.

Yes and also no. We’ve set the bar pretty high in Romans tenure but also pretty low in terms of managers and time peroids here, some might say we only achieved what we have because of this but if we had a clear plan years ago in what direction to take the club after Ancelotti was sacked for instance and followed it we’d not be in this mess. Tbf after any managerial sacking past 2010 a plan would of been nice.

[Superblue 6,370]

Whilst I am a firm believer of a lack of identity at the club and have posted a number of times about the lack of vision and long term planning finally starting to catch up with us, the fact is without Roman and his money we wouldn't have won the league titles, domestic cups and european titles that we have done in the past 15 years. We could very well have gone the same way as Leeds did considering the mess we were in at the time.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Congratulations on screwing over another manager. 

This business concept does not work at a high level. You can’t expect managers to polish a turd. 

No top manager will want to work here without complete control over transfers unless they want a quick payout. 

Im not saying we need to spend like City but at least invest in some players that the manager needs to improve the team. You can’t just throw together a team full of players the manager doesn’t want or know. 

Reminds me of Jose’s press conference about the class of eggs. Nothing has changed here. 

[communicate 2,703]

I have no problem with our manager heavy turnaround, but we cannot turn crap every time after we won the league.

I don't care anymore who is going to be in charge but please improve our squad quality. I said last year when we won the league that our squad is behind everybody in top 6 except maybe Liverpool (bad gk, bad defence). I expect us to improve this season but there is not much improvement. Yes we are definitely deeper but definitely not better. We replaced two important players with two younger but not as good of players and sprinkle them with average player

I rather keep ake and chalobah and spent the money to sign quality player. 

[zekinjo 449]

Will never understand how in the world we ended up with an average squad like this. This squad is so average it screams. 

This summer it’s definitely a crossroad for a club. They will sign better or even (real) world class players, or we will still be watching Roman’s version of Only Fools And Horses.

[cfcs most wanted 657]

It's quite ardently clear why the transfer policy at our club is a failure. Basically you expect managers to work with players who they didn't want in the first place, trying to fit them into a team they don't belong in. I know this is a business and they have a transfer budget and policy, then why don't just go and give the managers a budget for transfers, instead of trying your hand with players that the coach doesn't even want in his team in the first place. It's a waste of money basically, with no meaningful outcome.

Message to the Board

Spend big in the Summeror we'll turn into Arsenal.

[Special Juan 27,429]

We will spend big, we spent big on shite that's the problem.

[Superblue 6,370]

Everybody points to the trophies we've won to justify the lack of stability that the club shows towards its managers, but the other end of the scale needs far more consideration. If we finish outside the top 4 this season it will be the third time in 7 years, which is more times than we've won the league in that period.

That to me shows the harm of lack of stability, because we are becoming a yo-yo club within the top 4 places. The board need to wake up and realise that the lack of a long term plan and system over the last few seasons rather than bringing in who they consider to be the best manager and not necessarily a succession to the previous one has caused this effect. We already need some surgery within our squad but if a new manager comes in wanting to play 4 at the back, we will suddenly have all of our wing backs bar perhaps Emerson no longer suited to the squad because none of them are capable of playing in a back four at a high standard. And if that manager wants to play with a midfield 3, we're struggling at the moment with one partner for Kante, let alone two.

Sometimes you have to take one step back to take two steps forward, and the board have never done this. There has always been surgery and changes to the squad made with short term thinking.

 

[Fulham Broadway 16,846]

Also it's a crying shame the board is devoid of anyone remotely connected with football. All ex Sibneft cronies yes men and women. Even a mediator between the board and manager/ players would be good.

What the fuck are we selling Cech, Lukaku, Salah, Matic etc to Premiership rivals for ?? That there straight away is chucking points away.

Ferguson was a bully  -but during United's Red Reign in the 80s 90s he and Kenyon made sure no quality player was offloaded to rivals. It's madness.
