Seems like everything is in flux behind the scenes and Matt Law mentions that Boehly himself is negotiating transfers. A guy who doesn’t know the ins and outs of European football. Hopefully he installs a top class DoF soon. Yes but he’s not exactly going to be doing it blindly or chasing League 1 players lol, don’t worry. Someone who has taken over a European super club and runs a hugely successful franchise as it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is as shrewd as he’s made out to be. He undoubtedly will have done his homework, as will scouts at the club and he will undoubtedly have huge inputs from Tuchel on preferred targets. Getting jumpy because nothing has happened yet is standard OTT panicking for on here but theres so much other things that need to be done ie. new chairman, someone replacing Marina long term, all the loose ends and structuring/restructuring after the take over, replacing/continuing sponsors who left/suspsended deals after Roman was sanctioned amongst others undoubtedly plus new deals for Reece and Mason will be a top priority. It sure doesn’t happen overnight. Patience is needed for this first month or 2. Edited June 20, 2022 by OneMoSalah bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Timestamp 08:18. Matt Law confirms Marina was in fact in charge of transfers at Chelsea: "She ran the club. She decided on contracts. She decided on transfers. Every football aspect needed her sign-off." Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Law confirms Marina was in fact in charge of transfers at Chelsea: "She ran the club. She decided on contracts. She decided on transfers. Every football aspect needed her sign-off." This is what I thought. I have said for years that she must've been the one in charge of final sign off as she clearly had a lot of power and most after RA but people refused to believe it and made out like she was some number crunching bookeeper. Personally, I don't think it was the plan to have Granny leave this early in the process (Buck doesn't really surprise me, as I always suspected TB would step into his role) as we're in the middle of the window and she has obviously been the go to contact but something must've happened/been realised. My suspicion (obviously all this is) is that the contract management and transfer handling hasn't gone down well when they've actually got their feet on the ground and TB/Clearlake are of the opinion it cannot go on.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Seems they blame her for the Lukaku situation. @Blues Forever What did he say regarding "Midfield Decisions'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Forever 1,232 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Matt Law also says: “Cech’s interview gives an idea of what him and Marina were hoping, trying to keep Lukaku and make it work. Boehly came in and told Tuchel it’s his call and they will do what Tuchel wants”. Tuchel and Boehly might have been ready to give Lukaku another chance for a year depending on his attitude, but Lukaku was so determined to go that letting him leave was the only option. The alternative was felt to be an absolutely toxic situation where Lukaku would likely not be getting into the squad anymore, such would be his behavior.

My opinion is that it is better not to buy anyone if the result is just more Kepa/Lukaku/Bakayoko/Drinkwater type signings. Obviously it isn't ideal, as we do have a lot of holes. However, I am now at the stage where I really cannot be doing with anymore pony signings and would just rather go with youth players if good options aren't possible.

Fernando 6,585 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Tuchel has done good as a manager in short term but I'm still not sure about his recruitment. We started bad with Luakaku, I am holding my breath to what comes next. I still say Lampard was good at spoting talent, not good as a coach.
