Not a sporting director. So our transfers is still under Marina. Sad.

However welcome back goalkeeping legend!

Perhaps but at least having someone with football knowledge in the board might help us make better transfer decisions...

Pete Cech signing into the management seems like the second innings of the Roman regime in the true sense. 

We have Lampard possibly coming back, Makalele and Drogba back ... The old gang is coming back (atleast some of them), more importantly these guys were drilled to be winners and they are leaders in their own rights. 

It's interesting time in a challenging environment ... I hope we move in the right direction with the boys.

Petr: "....that is why player A would be great addition for our club. "

Marina: "ok Petr, we will buy player B. "

 

Anyway welcome back legend

Sounds sensible to me. He needs some time and experience to grow into the role and with that I would expect his level of influence to grow.

It is actually an ideal time to bring him in without the ability to sign players for a season, it allows him to concentrate on other aspects of his job spec. Hopefully this isn't a false dawn but it does seem like the club are looking to put things in place to refresh and reboot the club somewhat and without the need to concentrate on buying players this summer it gives far more time to spend on this restructuring which for the long term could prove just as key as bringing new players in.

It does look from the outside that the club are looking to put more emphasis into the academy and bringing through more of our own and having people like Cech and Makelele coming back to help concentrate on these transitions, with potentially Lamps and Jody within the coaching setup will only help matters. Like anything though it will take some time and patience.

I would also expect Cech to become the public figurehead of the hierarchy. The person that will take interviews, etc. Not only will he be respected for his views as an ex-great player but it will also hopefully calm the hysteria around the club at times when things go a little rocky. It's been a big problem over the past couple of seasons that no one from the board comes out and speaks when sometimes its needed; a lot of the fan frustration can stem from this at times.

Giroud, Cole and Cesc come here from Arsenal and are quickly get transformed to true Chelsea boys. The latter two making no attempt to hide as much whatsoever.

Cech by comparison goes to Arsenal for more game time but makes sure he's back at the first opportunity.

Think if we get Campos or someone of that ilk in, that would be an exceptional mentor for Cech if that is a role for him to eventually grow into in the long term. Would make too much sense for it to happen though, wouldnt it?

[killer1257 3,282]

I am pretty sure that Cech is intelligent enough to do a good job even without experience. He will grow into the Job and getter day by day. 

[Special Juan 27,422]

Lets hope he uses his knowledge and actually snaps the fuckers in the board room into shape.

Yeah it must be infuriating for Arsenal to see many of their former players giving more respect to other clubs. Think Adebayor celebration!

That thing with Adabayor was bat crazy, he really wanted to punish them, van persie said he inner being screamed utd or something like that, Fab had it best here and cried on his last game for us, nasri too hated them afterwards, crazy stuff....proper banter many of their ex players.

They did? Well there you go....its deserved then. But he could have started something, I remember it came very close to that.
