This is where it all started and that was in [size=18pt]2012 [/size]after our UCL triumph.

- Emenalo failed to lay the foundation for that vision to thrive.
- He failed to address the dearth of quality in our central midfield area.
- He felt the only way to actualize a sexy style of play was by stockpiling the team with technically adept players.
- He failed to understand the basics; that a strong midfield is required to cover the arses of a team's attacking band.
- He inadvertently pushed the chelsea-destruct button.

In the time that I was on the coaching staff, it was always the coach that selected the players. "I know for a fact that Carlo wanted Fernando Torres and David Luiz so Mr Abramovich went out and got them

The first step, before a window even opens, is what we used to call ‘Scout your own squad’. What do we need? What’s the cultural fit? What are the technical demands? The physical demands?

“So we get a picture of that first

I cannot say I'm completely not involved in buying players, but my role would be significantly lower than that of the manager's. You cannot compare them. To give an example, this would be an impossible situation when a manager does not want a player to be bought and I try to impose ideas. It would not work." Even Shevchenko? 'Any player, Shevchenko included'

“I will not ask for any changes,” he said. “I will not ask the board [for players] in January. I’m happy with the players I have. I trust the players I have. I don’t need to clean the dressing room, and I don’t need to ask the club to spend money in January. I’m not saying I won’t sign anyone. I’m saying I won’t ask the club to do that. I don’t have the right to do it, in my opinion.

“Why don’t I have the right? Because our performance – if you can use that word, I’m not sure it’s the correct word – during the season in the Premier League has not been good enough. If I ask for players, or if the club gives me a handful of players, it’s like taking a bit of the responsibility off us and suggesting we needed extra [help] to reach our objectives.

“[size=18pt]I want the responsibility to be in my hands. I want the players to have the responsibility in their hands. I want them to feel I trust them and don’t need other players to reach our objectives. We should be together, me and the players. We have put ourselves in this situation. Now we have to put it right[/size].”

Griffon, theres more to come...but let me pause here and give you an opportunity to counter.

You can see my examples of 'facts'. I'm not posting hearsay, or speculation. I'm not using the ramblings of a multiply disgraced and discounted journalist.

I post FACTS.

I'm going to make a cup of tea.

I'll be right back like Gary Neville to quote modenine

Between August 2007 to July 2013 he was employed as Director of Football Operations & Executive Club Director for Chelsea Football Club in the EPL, dealing with all areas of performance and team operations relating to the 1st Champions League, Europa League, Premier League title and three FA Cups. The most successful era in the club’s history.

Mike Forde is Director of Football Operations at Chelsea Football Club, a position he has held since 2007.
Mike is responsible for all areas of performance and team operations relating to the first team, including player recruitment; medical; sport science; psychology and performance analysis.
Mike is widely recognized as a leading figure in the English Premier League and European Soccer. He is particularly known for innovative methods to create a sustained business model for elite

“So we get a picture of that first and then we go to market because otherwise you let the market dictate to you. You let agents dictate to you and I’ve never met an agent with a bad player.

“The market forces are huge and underestimated in terms of building your team. You’re not in full control. You can evaluate what you need, you can evaluate where you can get it but it depends on a lot of things.

“A few years ago, there was a big premium on wingers — the likes of Arjen Robben, Angel di Maria. There was a shortage of that particular type of player so they become very expensive to buy if you want to tackle that need. So, you’re always evaluating the economics. If you’re a big team and you’re signing big players, you’re doing your work six, nine or sometimes 12 months out so there’s a lot of preparation from data and various reports. It’s a long, drawn-out process and the bigger the player, the more time you have to spend to make sure it’s the right option.”

Is this guy not a born fool?

I posted information from Mike Forde's own website:


http://www.mikefordeperformance.com/biography

I posted information from Mike Forde's profile page as a motivational speaker




I posted Mike Fore in HIS OWN WORDS talking about his work at Chelsea.



I can even post the man's Linkedin.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-forde-44198237

Yet one dimwit that bottlefed on raw crude oil is posting an article from BEFORE Mike was even hired...that doesnt note what Mike was supposed to do, as his proof that Mike Forde had never been a decision maker at Chelsea.

This a claasic case of an unfortunate fellow, a mad man desperate for a market to roam, a dimwit from Idimu.

FOH nigga!

It is the line of communication between Granovskaia and Abramovich – similar to that enjoyed by Tenenbaum – that has thrust her into this position of relative power. She will speak to the oligarch on other business issues aside from Chelsea but, as the most direct line to the owner whose own interests mean that his visits to Stamford Bridge are relatively rare, she has been key when time has been tight and an immediate decision has been required on the football side. She played a key part in negotiations over the recruitment of players and managers alongside Gourlay and the technical director, Michael Emenalo, was involved in the talks with Liverpool and Benfica to secure Fernando Torres and David Luiz towards the end of the winter transfer window of January 2011, and is understood to have travelled to Madrid in April to discuss Mourinho's return to the club once it became clear he was intent upon leaving the Bernabéu.

The football club board, meanwhile, comprises Buck, Tenenbaum, Gourlay, Barnard, the football operations director Mike Forde and Emenalo. They focus entirely on football matters, with reports submitted by the manager and medical staff, Emenalo on recruitment and player issues, and, for example, Forde on training techniques and facilities from information he has gleaned visiting institutions around the world. Abramovich usually attends two or three football club board meetings over the course of a season

Now this fat turd has turned to grammar discussion, highlighting multiple 'We's like we're in French class.


This is the craziest thing I ever read. A rotund accountant trying to argue directly with the words of Mike Forde who actually worked for Chelsea as a Director of Football operations for 6 whooping years

The man described his daily job in his own words, yet one armpit scratching, fufu-scoffing, so called pundit is attempting to disprove these words by newspaper articles.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. This nigga is the punchline to a very dry joke.

Ibime:


Show me one single player that Mike Forde has been even rumoured to have recommended. If you show me that, I concede the discussion immediately.

I have shown several links to show what Mike Fordes brief is, what Emenalos brief is and can show you hundred links where Emenalo is cited as having signed a player.

.

In your haste to sound intelligent, you went and quoted Mike Forde now talking himself up as a consultant claiming that "we do analysis on the squad and signings bla bla bla.. That in no way shows he has any decision making power, he just performs analysis as directed. Mike Forde is the guy at the back of the computer telling you that X Player has great lung power and running ability etc, he isnt even close to a decision maker.

Show me one player Mike Forde is even rumoured to have signed or shut it. Since when did he become Head of Scouting, or even a mere scout? Why didn't Benitez go and meet Mike Forde to discuss transfer requirements?

He is Emenalos boss you claimed. What a joke. Clueless nogga
