Emanalo The Problem

Remind me......Who was the bloke who went to Italy in the summer of 2016 and done the deal to bring Conte in as our manager / coach or whatever title he has ....Or am I missing something ???

 
And no doubt, Roman has already asked this same bloke to scout around for a suitable replacement for Conte......just in case we decide to sack him......however I don't think we will need to sack him......as Conte's contract purportably expires in only ten months time. 

The Media circus will move on to Whose being lined up to take over from Conte, as soon as they get bored with the Costa Circus ! 

For me...it's Never a dull moment supporting Chelsea !

The bottom line is that ME has a lot of pressure on his broad shoulders ......so far Roman's model of sacking managers has been rewarded with Silverware............I think we need to look more closely at what Marina G is doing regarding players contracts etc

The vendetta fans have against Emenalo is truly bizarre, never seen anything like it before.

 
Well we can safely conclude this time its not the managers fault, so whose next up on the ladder.

 
a lot of very good managers have gone and he is still there. i maybe wrong but don't we have good scouts all over the world and in all probabilities even people on here will be able to identify the potential especially with the expertise going at the bridge. the way i see it conte is the manager and he will express which players he wants and it is upto the people behind the scenes to get on with it and not the other way round.  he took a long look at victor moses who was already at the club and if he expresses concern about chalobah, ake and loftus-cheek leaving then we should be worried. 

 
I think fans dislike Emanalo is because he came on the scene after Jose was sacked the first time & was promoted as first team coach when Grant was "in charge".

This for a man who at the time had no coaching badges or experience apart from being in charge of a girls U12 team.

Since then we've had success but also seen managers unfairly sacked, like Carlo.

None of us will ever know for sure what goes on behind the scenes, what i will say is though our transfer policy the last 6/7 years has been baffling at times, particularly with us selling & buying forwards. 

We bought Torres when he wasnt needed & sacrificed the PL title for 5 years while accommodating a non scoring forward, this after only a year of us winning the double while scoring goals for fun-103, with Drogba, Anelka, Kalou, Sturridge, as our forwards.

When Jose returned he also persevered with Torres with us missing out on another title, the following season Torres was sold & we won the title.

In recent years we've persevered with going in to campaigns very light up front & made some strange signings, Eto, Ba, Falco, Pato to name a few.

Now whether Emanalo is to blame for this no one knows but what i will say is someone behind the scenes is making these deceisions i cant be the only one to think that no experienced manager would be happy to have a squad so light up front? last season it was lucky Costa didnt get injured because if he had we'd have to have relied on Michy Batshuayi, a player who'd hardly played.

Here we are again another season going in to a campaign light up front, hopefully Morata will become a great goalscorer for us but should anything happen like he struggles for form or gets injured we're back to only having Michy Batshuayi to call upon, that isnt good enough for a club of our size & with also CL football this season.

Someone is calling the shots behind the scenes, maybe its only Roman? maybe i'm in a time warp but personally i'd like our managers to be allowed to manage with no interference from behind.

 
While i am pleased he has gone - my initial worry is that what if a riff between him and Conte has caused this? One of Roman's allies quitting wont go down too well i imagine.

However, he has completed his coaching badges and licenses so maybe he is just after a manager job somewhere?

Pure speculation at this point obviously until we know more.

 
Well we need someone to replace him. So I am curious who we get to fill his shoes. Telegraph reporting that its Conte and Granovskaia who don't see eye to eye. 

All very interesting and of course we will never know the full facts.

Interesting. It's impossible to know whether it's a good thing or not, since none of us actually know what the hell he does. Supposedly it was him given the task of a vision for the future, which saw the likes of Courtois, De Bruyne, Lukaku, etc.. signed, in which case he did well, but then Mourinho threw a load of them away. I have no idea what's true and what isn't, but we can hope this means Conte has Roman's backing and will be given the power to do things as he wants, which might lead to him committing for a longer period.

I wonder if Guus Hiddink will come into that role now, someone Roman trusts and who is far more experienced and knowledable/
