The fantasy world some choose to live in isn't confined to the la la land of Republican politics in the USA. In football, as everywhere, people give themselves permission to believe that their guesses are as as valid as reality. They manage to construe a total lack of evidence to support their beliefs as final and conclusive proof that they are totally correct. We will therefore continue to read crazy opinions about Marina from time to time but she's a star.

Only blackmark people may hold against her now, is the ESL initial decision, seeing as she would of been involved in that decision you’d think as the director of the club. But that’s understandable.

She'd have had her say for sure but my guess is that there would in fact have been just one vote cast in our club. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Marina is a legend. What she did in past years is 100% out of this world. Its laughable that once in a while some fools make some edgy negative statements about her. OneMoSalah and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it 6 months or the next Kepa appearance if there is one, they will be back. Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise she would not have sanctioned those 2017 buys and wages for instance. It’s good she now has Petr around her for counsel . laura90 and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on ML, I thought we had all reached an agreement about the wonderful Marina Granovskaia. Knowing about football is not her function. She almost certainly has opinions about the game, after all she watches more live matches than most here, but there is not one iota of evidence that she is part of the football decision making team. Nor should she be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 ''Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia 'clashed with Mino Raiola, uses late-night WhatsApp chats to get deals done and left agents stunned with her uncompromising manner', say insiders in a L'Equipe profile on the Blues' 'enigma' Granovskaia is the chief negotiator for new players and contract renewals and, while she has been praised for her role in convincing veteran defender Thiago Silva to join, it was her display at the negotiating table for the sale of Eden Hazard that captured attention. Hazard had a year left on his Chelsea contract in 2019 when Real Madrid aggressively pursued a deal for the Belgian attacker. Negotiations were described as 'long' but Granovskaia 'had a clear amount' she wanted as a transfer fee and was unwilling to cave to pressure from Real Madrid. It is said she was willing to keep Hazard for another year and lose him for nothing than sell on the cheap. In the end she pulled off a reported deal of £134million in three instalments. Granovskaia, who was in Abu Dhabi to see Chelsea win the Club World Cup, has been described as 'a savvy and fine leader' who is 'available and uncompromising' in her work, which has led to Chelsea becoming reigning European champions. Forbes ranked her fifth overall back in 2018 in their 'Most Powerful Women in International Sports' list. In addition, Granovskaia's work was recognised on a global scale when she received the Best Club Director in European football award back in December. '' Has to be the most powerful woman in football which is normally dominated by alpha males. Very impressive. Kudos to her for standing up to Riaola. He is a money minded parasite.
