Ossie the King 634 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 A new technical director? Fuck sake are people really taking Mourinho's sacking this badly? I think people need to remember its Chelsea FC and not Mourinho FC. We were 16th.... I think we've moved beyond the reaction to Jose's sacking and looking at contributing factors including the poor performance of those in key positions throughout the squad.And also to anyone saying we should follow 'City's blueprint for success' are you fucking serious? I'd prefer we followed what we were doing the last few years than aspire to do what City have done....for a start they replaced Mancini because he finished second. Then they have always bought poorly in terms of age for squad building. They throw money at things, they aren't following a long term plan, they aren't bringing young players through. We might not be taking young players through but you look at what we've bought since 2010 in terms of age for building a squad (although not all of them are here now) and its guys like David Luiz, Oscar, Hazard, Piazon, Romeu, Baba, Courtois, De Bruyne, Schurrle, Azpi, Zouma, etc... under 25 years old, who can have resale value as well as the chance to give us 7-10 years worth of continuity in the squad. Yet City seem to know exactly which manager they want, exactly what football they want to play and exactly what players they need to do that. In the meantime they're backing their current manager (who will leave even if he wins the league and Champions League), they've developed a fantastic infrastructure both in terms of their facilities but also in terms of player development. Their owners came in, hired the best people to run the club and stepped back. Our last two technical directors have been Avram Grant and Michael Emenalo. If you're happy with that then I can understand your reaction, but I'm of the belief we should look for people with greater vision than that, who may even be able to contribute to the philosophy of this club.

Blue Gino 377 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Emenalo did transfers that in the end people complain that they were sold off by Mourinho: Mata, KDB, Lukaku to name a few. This club won't piss money away like in the past on Stones and Marquinhos. The sooner you accept it the better you'll be. I hate to say it but Mourinho has a terrible track record giving young players a sniff and this club is trying to create a core the way United did and through Hiddink we will see what they are made of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a choice not to sign him but complete ineptitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino's Skin 972 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Apparently we can rewrite records on this thread.AVB by all accounts wasnt involved in a single signing.......the one true god Michael Emenalo done them all even though he had barely stepped into the role of TD.

y10edn 185 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 CFC definitely had a vision immediately after the CL victory in Munich without a manager (Di Mateo was out of contract) someone in the club took responsibilityto buy players like Hazard, Oscar, Azpilicuta, Victor Moses: young, good and promising. someone or a group of people bought these players and many more and deserves respect.If we judge people on the past Jose would not be a top manager having never been a great player, just checked on Emenalo and he played in a successful team at the USA 1994 world Cup, judging from players bought in the last 5 Years the club really bought well but if the manager doesn't deem the player good enough.. whose fault is that?

xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 With no permanent manager at #Chelsea, Michael Emenalo will take sole charge of #Chelseas January transfer window plans. [Telegraph]Shitttt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 what I find increasingly funny about Emenalo is that he had a spell at my hometown 4th tier club Eintracht Trier during the time I was born so it was probably destiny that we would end up attached to the same club later. Also he looks like Gus Fring from breaking bad. Other than that I would appreciate having a technical director with actual experience in transfer dealings and such not some puppet out of Roman's magic hat.
