CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Talk of 'new business opportunities' is a strange one considering how settled and comfortable he seemed in that wide ranging interview a few weeks back.Nah, that's most likely bullshit. This is almost certainly just to make way for Marina Granovskaia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not at all the same, imo. Ray was assistant manger at the time and the main link between Carlo and the team. On the other hand, most player would have only met Gourlay when they sign contracts. He has no direct effect on the team's performances. So you fully expected this to happen? It coming out of nowhere was the main point of comparison so I don't understand why you had to explain the obvious. I was not talking about it at all...

Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Bloke was average imo and made Kenyon look goodThe most cuntish thing he did was to fuck off Ancelotti in the tunnel after Everton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying there's nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I reckon it makes more sense that Chelsea is replacing Gourlay than him actually wanting to leave for 'new opportunities'. Does this mean we're gonna get a better deal from Turkish Airlines? I hear Granovskaia is a pretty good business-woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Pending additional appointments, Chairman Bruce Buck and Director Marina Granovskaia will assume additional executive responsibilities.http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/10/club-statement.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The deal with Turkish airlines was embarrassingly low, a sign Gourlay had lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah Ray's departure and Ron's cant be compared...first was important as assistant coach, second one only runs papers in club.Its weird timing for him leaving now though, could wait at least until end of the year.

You try way too hard.Really? Those were the 3 consecutive posts (both second and third post quoting yours): It kind of reminds me of Ray Wilkins and his departure in 2010. It also came out of nowhere.We turned to shite the moment he left as well...Me too! We were again first in the league (I think we were 7 points ahead of the second team) and after that there was a really bad streak of results. Hopefully that won't be the case now!As I said, worried "we're gonna lose the title because of this" vibe, especially when you read them one after the other. Wasn't even aimed at you in particular. Glad you're not actually worried, but got absolutely no idea why (or how) you are taking this personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, Gourlay didn't do well when it comes to sponsoring deals. Though, Gourlay did manage to get a couple of new sponsors on board the last couple of years none of them was a big one, and ultimately if the reported Turkish Airlines deal is true then that might have been the last straw. Rationally thinking, it would be pretty embarrassing if Gourlay was the lone man negotiating with Turkish Airlines without anyone else supporting him and having a veto.
