Enzo Maresca

[richards30]

We obviously have tapped him up

I think you are right. And for that reason, I am out!

This is where I got it from:

"To be is to do" Socrates
"To do is to be" Sartre
"Do be do be do" Sinatra

:)

Anyway, onto Maresca. Dafuq is he anyway? ;)

This is a good point. Chelsea could say no to any offer City makes. Do we know how long his contract was at Chelsea and if there are any extra one-year extensions, Knowing Chelsea, they will not release details and what sort of power they hold on Enzo-Maresca

As I said, what are City playing at if this was known for months about the composition Chelsea would want
Pep's possible leaving was known for months by the club, even if he said it was later on when the reporter broke the news, City still should have had a plan in place ready to go.

What should have happened is that Enzo-Maresca and Pep worked together for that one-year extension and after 6 months Pep could have stepped down

Guess if they did this, Chelsea would have to pay the salaries of 2 managers ???

It's for such culture that I come on here.

If getting Maresca wasn’t already bad enough, we have to pay Chelsea for this tool.

Oh ….its Mr Negative again. So you think he’s a tool? Well it takes one to THINK they know one

Stop being a drama queen, you've only got the ramblings from a very bias media to go on, and they won't know much more than we do.

I'm sure Khaldoon knows what is going on, and is quite comfortable with it all, that's who matters.

Yet it turned out that I was right about the nature of the delay.

Absolutely, old boy.

Depends. On how it was done.

Clubs approach and speak to managers under contracts. Chelsea, of all clubs, will know this, having done it with their last - well every manager they have since even before the take-over.

It will be for the professionals to decide

I want Him as I think He's a good natural progression but fuck me, what are we playing at, if we end up paying a lot of compo for Him, I think it's nuts. He's not the top top calibre of Manager that warrants that imo.

 

[Brendan110_0]

Good luck with trying to get compensation, here's what the Chelsea club statement said:

"With key objectives still to play for across four competitions including qualification for Champions League football, Enzo and the club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track.
"We wish Enzo well for the future."

The club obviously seem to think he is. If all the reports that we approached him all the way back at the end of last year are true. They would have known he had 3.5 years on his contract at that point, which would have been 3 years at this point.

So they woumd ahve always have gone in with the knowledge a compensation would be needed other than him getting sacked.

What footing that leaves Chelsea with, noe he is no longer there, no idea. But the club would have thought he was 'worth it' otherwise they wouldn't have gone for it.

Not saying I strictly agree fwiw.

If it falls through with Maresca (I know nothing about it it’s just a hypothetical)
Just get Gundo in, intelligent, articulate, great footballing brain and knows the club.

Give over mate - the PL aren’t going to impose a point deduction or a transfer ban over this.

That outcome is in no-one’s interest, and any claim they might seek to pursue either of those measures is absurdly melodramatic at best.

If you have any examples of a precedent for a penalty of that magnitude, I’m all ears - but otherwise, you’re being disingenuous by even suggesting it.

This will be settled for a figure that both parties agree, and which will remain undisclosed - and Maresca will be announced once that process is complete.

And the point I was making was that this will have no material impact on his preparation for the job, or our planning for this summer - as both are able to proceed more or less as planned ahead of a formal confirmation.

I did not mean to suggest that they were going to do so in this instance. I meant to describe the penalties for tapping up. Van Dijk was involved in a dispute which led to a delay in his transfer.

Usually tapping up is hard to prove but in this case Maresca's reported contact to his club bosses making this case highly unusual.

If Maresca is appointed by the end of the week then it will make little impact on his results but that was not evident this morning.

The idiot told them we did. What was he playing at?!

We have no idea what would have been in his mutual agreement to terminate his contract, or whether Chelsea have any basis to expect anything.

People agree to all sorts of things when they leave a job, or have it in their original contract. Not working for a set period of time after, not going to a competitor, the employer retaining rights to future renumeration, that he won't have pancakes again for a year. All sorts of shit. How enforceable that is, who knows.

I'm sure some will eventually come out, till then, it is speculation open season.

Did it ?

Speculation, despite what you say.

Walk away City………..

 

[Micky Blue]

Ahh ffs, just seen what’s happened.

It explains all the stories late last year /early this year linking him with us.
Why the fuck would he report it to Chelsea?

 

[Coatigan]

It was apparently in his contract to disclose any approaches, according to reports. He would have been in breach of contract if he hadn't. Which would then risk getting himself ,erm, sacked. The irony.
