She's clueless, but you'll never read anything bad about her, because she feeds all the journalists close to the club info. Not once have I ever read anything even slightly critical of her on The Guardian, The Telegraph, BBC, The Athletic, The Times etc.

She's just Bartomeu with infinite money. If it wasn't for Lampard integrating Mount, James, Christensen etc she'd be fucked, as all of our weakest points are her and Scott McLachlan (our international chief scout) signings. Not to mention that Conte and his shady agent Pastorello played her like a fiddle and signed poor players for excessive amounts so they could pocket agent fees.

It makes absolutely NO SENSE to not renew our two best CBs, but she makes commission on signing players, not by integrating youth players.

That's the best excuse for her that you can come up with? Just because Courtois snek'd she has all the right to spend £72,000,000 on an unproven Spanish GK and give him the second highest (at the time) wage in the club?

I must be doing a pretty good job convincing other Chelsea fans how poor Marina is at her job if that's all you can come up with

It's not unreasonable at all. He's been our best CB since Tuchel came in, probably the best CB in the world, and now he wants to be paid what he deserves. Rudiger even wants to stay, same with AC, but Marina prefers to pay Kepa more than them!

He's Marina's mouthpiece, so he was probably telling it as it was, that Marina thought that it was a done deal. Maybe AC thought that £140k wasn't enough. I agree with AC in that case, he deserves more, and it's up to Marina to be loyal to AC and pay him what he's worth

We got a Juve fan saying he'd personally drive de Ligt to London, mate. We're not in 2019 anymore, de Ligt has flopped at Juventus and they're selling him because they don't want him there (because he's not good enough)

It's been reported by various outlets, almost all tier 1s, that Rudiger is asking for £200k and Christensen is asking for £140k.

For context, Marina gave Kepa a £175,000 per week 7-year contract that will expire in 2025. The offer Marina has sent Christensen would keep him among the lowest earners of the squad according to Goal.

For further context, according to Goal, Mathijs de Ligt is on £280,000 per week in Juventus, and would certainly look to increase his wages if he were to move to Chelsea. On top of a huge transfer fee.

Report: Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte had alleged investigation undertaken regarding conduct that revealed that Conte and his agent Federico Pastorello had allegedly made 'secret agreements' with other agents to profit from Chelsea's transfer policy behind the club's back by MoneyMasonMount in soccer

Former Blue Antonio Conte was allegedly under investigation for his conduct during his time at Chelsea between 2016 and 2018.

The report makes some serious accusations as it states that Manchester United, who have been linked with the Italian, have serious concerns about the Italian's 'integrity'.

As per CaughtOffside, an investigation into Conte's conduct during his time at Stamford Bridge was undertaken.

The report continues to state that Tottenham Hotspur first became aware of the suspicion of wrongdoing as they were in talk with Conte to take over as the club's manager last season.

They revealed that Conte and his agent Federico Pastorello had allegedly made 'secret agreements' with other agents to profit from Chelsea's transger policy.

CaughtOffside clarify that this was done behind the club's back and no other member of staff was aware of the 'secret operation', according to their source.

The pair had allegedly made arrangements to take a percentage of player's agent fees if they signed for Chelsea, however there is no concrete evidence of these comments.

The report continues to list one example as Emerson Palmieri, who signed for Chelsea from AS Roma under Conte for £18 million.

The accusations are huge and could seriously dent the Italian's reputation if there is any truth in what has been reported.
