The core to our problems is IMO board. While City for example has people like Soriano or Begiristain who actualy know how to run the club, we are stuck with Emenalo and co.

Also Granovskaia...Milan has female among directors and look where they are (that was sexist but you get the point). Tho she did some good work. But since Gourlay left, transfers were nothing but disaster. Cuadrado, Pedro, Djilo, Falcao...

 

Why doesn't Abramovich get anywhere near so much critique? I've heard many times that he has the final say in everything. He hired those people so it all comes down to him. Also, contrary to popular belief, I don't think Cuadrado and Pedro were bad transfers. They were known as quality players, one coming off from a spectacular WC and the other being a useful cog in Barca's machine. Has anybody noticed that attacking players tend to flop here more often than not? Not sure it has much to do with the bureaucrats, but rather team management. Anyway, imo Cuadrado was and Pedro is a sensible signing, but one didn't work out and the other one is too soon to judge especially under spectacular circumstances (coming to the worst Chelsea team in decades, Pedro was never meant to be a player to fix that).

Darn crazy female hormones each month.

It's turned out that these signings haven't been in accordance with the way we have played recently. The players are quality, but they aren't the players that fit into the system being employed. Whether that's an issue with the board not getting players that fit the system or the manager for not adapting the system to the players isn't too important. It's a lack of uniformity from the top down that Hamas to be addressed I the summer. The board needs to get together, figure out the vision of the club in terms of business, play and aspiration. Once that's figured out, they need to get a manager that fits this vision and work with the manager to get the best players to fit this vision. This is the only way this club can be successful.

IMO, everyone deserves blame, but I think a lot of people are hesitant to criticize Roman because of the success that has come since his arrival.

I don't think RA has the second clue what's going on, I think the people and shit collectors below him give out a smoke screen and actually convince him that these signings like Papi, Mazad (MLSBloke) Pato and Rahman are actually sublime talents..

What next....Kaka?

Well sure he is responsible who will be in board. His influence on transfers and football related decisions is too big I guess. But he is our owner. There is not much we can do about it. Plus he has done incredible things for the club, he seems to genuinely like Chelsea, but that might be THE problem. He gets involved too much. If only he brought proper board, that would be great.

Never mind about JT, we've Papa and Hector. The Nigerian 'individual' has it all under control.
