If you needed it spelt out I was clearly suggesting Acun should appoint a Football Director. If Tan is not the Football Director then we should perhaps appoint one, as not having one would explain why our recruitment has been so haphazard. On the other hand, I suspect Tan has two hats on, given his role as a player agent and his links in the game. Acun is a media mogul, not a football expert, so if we're in a position where we need him identifying targets then we're in a bad place. Chelsea had Boehly negotiating deals last summer too, that's gone swimmingly for them.
Actually I see nothing wrong with the players that Boehly has brought in at Chelsea. I put Chelseas poor performances last season solely on Potter and Lampard.
Potter had to train 30+ senior players at once. That doesn’t happen at any premier league club, and it wasn’t his fault.
You'd be completely off the mark then, they only have about 18 senior players. The bulk of their PL teams include 2-3 youngsters on the bench in any given game.
Ok how is this haphazard considering most are still here except loans that went back but perhaps never worked out,although they did come with reputations. Most are still here and hopefully look to have settled and progressing at the club. Karl Darlow- loan Seri Figueiredo- never worked out. Tufan Oscar Tetteh Lo-Tutala Christie Traore Covil Woods M'hand- never worked out loan Simons Pelkas- loan Vale- loan Connolly-loan Ebiowei-loan Vaughan Sinik.
Do you know if it's an option or an obligation if promoted? I know some of those promotion clauses are obligations (like the one Leeds have been in trouble over).
