But I guess that since nobody knows his name nor his face — and that nobody has bothered to search the information — Emenalo will remain the perfect Piñata.

Quite amazing, effect of the media at full display here. He makes one appearance on TV to explain a hugely unpopular decision and all of a sudden, according to some, he is the true mastermind behind everything - from identifying and scouting the players to signing them to handling contracts to picking the team to hiring and firing managers. Amazing.

Thanks, you just remind me of this effect. They are right telling that mass media is the first power, not even fourth now, but bloody first.

Man, you talk so much bullsh*t in your last couple of posts.

Do you even know what a secretary does? Do you what administration means?

"In addition, he is responsible for ensuring regulatory arrangements and administrative requirements for all club fixtures, including our pre and post-season tours."

What is even the point of your post?

If you put aside Torres, here are our biggest transfers :
    •    Shevchenko for £30m (2006)
    •    Hazard for £32m (2012)
    •    Willian for £30m (2013)
    •    Costa for £32m (2014).

In the space of eight years, our record for a transfer fee has basically remained the same. On the other hand, within the same space of time, there are five players that broke Zizou's record (Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar, Bale and Rodriguez), and if you consider the fee in pound, this number amounts to 13 players (those aforementioned plus de Bruyne, di Maria, Falcao, Cavani, Torres, Kaka, Sterling and Martial). And roughly, since 2006 there have been some 38 transfers that have exceeded a fee of £32m — out of those, only one was made by us.

All these aforementioned numbers and stats are worth what they worth yet we can see a pattern. Since 2006, we have stabilized our transfer fees and while the prices have doubled, nay tripled, we stick to 2006's standard prices. Nowadays £40m is not enough to buy you a 20 years-old center-back that is far away of setting the world alight, we have only spent more than £40m once... There is basically two/three ways to get good players : you either splash the cash (Madrid) or you are in a situation where you can bet on a lot of unknown players (Porto). Unfortunately, for a lot of reason, we cannot afford to take the Porto's stance and for some reason we seem reluctant to spend more than £30m. As a consequence, it reduces considerably the range of our choices and buying mediocre players is often the outcome of such a situation.

This situation has nothing to do with Emenalo. Even if it is him that chooses and scouts from A to Z players, that is not him that decides of the budget allocated to buy this or that player — that is probably Roman that has the final say in every decision involving big money. And if one considers these financial limitations (not in quantity but in quality) then you purchases have not been that bad since when Emenalo was appointed in 2011 : Courtois (claimed as the second best GK) ; Mata (a fan's favorite) ; Schurrle ; Azpilicueta (a fan's favorite) ; de Bruyne and Lukaku (each time they have a good game, people enrage that we have sold them) ; Zouma (another fan's favorite) ; Kennedy ; etc... It is not a stack of Messis, however they are overall a bunch of good players and that for less than £30m each.

Ultimately, a major part of the responsibility for our hot-and-cold transfers is down to Roman. The scouting team has indeed not always searched for the right profile of player yet at the end of the day they have to work with what they have, that is a relatively low budget — and they have not done so badly.

He was probably just trying to imply that even Dave Barnard might have nothing to do with the player transfers...meaning that just because he handles the paperwork for the transfers doesn't mean he is actually responsible for choosing transfer targets or shaping the squad.

It's funny that we've actually got this banner dedicated to getting Emenalo out. The problems of this club run much deeper than Mike Emenalo - The fact we're even back to this 5 years after the issue of ME first came about should say a lot about what's the root of our problems.

If we're going to have Emenalo out banners, we should probably take that Roman Abramovich one we've got hanging up at the Bridge huh?
