Hate, really? Do you have a hate scale, like 10 for the likes of Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot, 8 for terrorists, 5 for pedophiles? How would Emenalo rate?

I always thought pol pot was underrated

Interesting perspective on the Emenalo role post Jose.

i keep warning everyone here - Emenalo has got his coaching badges, watch out!

I will love that. Will just mean the leech can finally be fired.

What Emenalo fails to mention in his pathetic interview is that the main source of conflict was likely between Jose and Emenalo over transfer policy. For all Mourinho's failings, it was Emenalo who signed Baba Rahman, Kenedy and Djilibodji and Jose's pointed refusal to play them tells you all you need to know about what he thinks of Emenalo's contribution.

The venom here is getting ridiculous.

I would call it ‘palpable discord’.

The hate is sad.

Did emanalo sign Cuadrado, Salah, Falcao and Luis.

Did emanalo force out mata kdb and lukaku ?

One of The Guardian's better articles this week:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/dec/18/jose-mourinho-michael-emenalo-chelsea-players?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+main+NEW+H&utm_term=144848&subid=7853605&CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2

The sacking was 100% on Jose. Emenal was just the messenger. Why blame him?

It's unbelievable how irrational Jose acted this season. Towards the referees, towards the media, towards his players, towards his medical team, towards his tactics. It was a mess he created all by himself. I'm sure that all these things are eventually down to Jose. We must not think of him as a passive doll, who was an victim of the board's policy and players behaving badly. 

If there was one person who could have held the players accountable, then that was Jose. But he failed to do it by playing them all the time anyway. 

There is no reason for Emenalo to point the finger to the players, now.

Sounds like we're saying JM was a devious little devil who blatantly engineered the sack after agreeing a 4 year deal. Wouldn't surprise me. If you can't rip off an oligarch, who can you rip off? The beautiful game ennit? 

I fail to see the anger towards Eminalo. Jose lost the plot, these things happen. 

Stop shooting the messenger.

Erm, yes

Mourinho is angry at a remark made by Michael Emenalo that there was “palpable discord” between Mourinho and the players. (Times) #CFC

How easy it is for people to jump to conclusions with no concrete information to guide them. Of course, we all would love to have this information (and we rightfully should) but given that we don't, we should probably lay off those presumed 'guilty' until we do.

Agreed, my issues with him are as follows....

- His use of the words 'the individual' to describe our most successful manager ever, whether it was him or the club, tasteless & classless.

- We really have no idea what he actually does inside the club besides his job role.

- why is he on the bench? I believe I'm right in saying no one else in that role sits on the club bench?

- he really doesn't have any qualifications or history in the game to be in such a senior position in the club.

Hell I don't have anything against him personally, fair play for making the most of his chances.

But all of the above does make me question, why the f**k is he at the club?!

He probably isn't even scouting any players. They just say that for political reasons so that it looks like he is doing something when in fact he is just lurking in the shadows leaking information, right or wrong, to the people above.

 

Scouts are usually people with intricate networks in the game. How would this guy ever have that? Despicable man.

What confuses me the most is, how did a US girls football team coach get any kind of job working with us?

12/13 season, many backed him to walk right into the Chelsea side that sported a misfiring attack of Fernando Torres and Demba Ba. However, with the second coming of Jose Mourinho also came a third striker in the form of Samuel Eto'o, that made Lukaku wonder just what was happening at Chelsea.

Desperate for regular playing time with the FIFA World Cup around the corner, Jose let Lukaku move out on loan again, to Everton. We all know how things went after that..

Lukaku remains thankful to Jose for letting him leave when he expressed his desire to leave so, as he articulated when speaking before the manager received the sack.

"I wanted to play and get minutes under my belt. I never got the chance to say it but I would say thank you to Jose Mourinho."

"I had one conversation with him a few days before I left and I told him I wanted to go and I think he saw in my eyes that I really needed to play because it was the year of the World Cup."

"He was the one who gave me the green light to go."

- Romelu Lukaku

Now, the Kraken is increasingly establishing himself as a striker in the Premier League who will bag at least 15 goals per season, while our strike force has gone back to firing blanks. That transfer saga seems half a world away now..

Romelu Lukaku’s hot streak led to Jose Mourinho facing awkward questions as his second reign at Chelsea ended, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

The form that Everton's ex-Stamford Bridge striker is showing in front of goal this season was used against the Portuguese as the champions' season unravelled.

As Mourinho fired a parting shot at the west Londoners with a public statement, it has emerged he was quizzed over the £28million sale of Belgium international Lukaku in summer 2014.

Current frontman Diego Costa’s repeated no-shows led to frustration that Lukaku - a player the club had scouted, signed for £18m in 2011 and then persevered with during two season-long loan deals - had been allowed to leave.

For this blaming Emenalo for selling Lukaku. The hatred here for this man is amazing - While I understand that we have lost Mourinho due to the players incompetence and it was Emenalo who gave the interview - What he said pretty much summed up what we all suspected - Some players did not respond to Mourinho's methods and their egos grew too big to be controlled and it resulted in a disharmonious dressing room. Mourinho will still be here if the players played to the best of their abilities and listened to their manager. 

Mirror? Sunday People?

And someone doesn't really know what a kraken is.

Aram Grant. Grounds alone for his dismissal.....but to sick around CFC like he has, he is either the best in the industry at what he does or a very skilled player of office politics. Guess which I think.

Yeah but Mourinho also refused to play KDB Mata and Lukaku and 2 of those signings were definitely made by Emenalo. Emenalo signings were there for a great spine of a team and all so young. He got us Courtois in goal, Zouma CB Azpi at RB Hazard KDB and Mata behind the striker which had the potential to be the best in Europe. Lukaku as a striker, never got us a top central midfielder but then everyone is struggling to find one as there isn't loads out there. Mourinho could of always tried Oscar there, makings of an excellent team that didn't cost us that much.

Mourinho refused to play KDB in the same manner as Mourinho refused to play Zouma (actually KDB got more play time).....   A year later, Zouma has 23 starts and 5 sub appearances  despite not being halfway through the season, and did so while breaking into the best CB pairing in the league if not Europe.
