Fernandez

From racist chants to being installed as the Chelsea Captain, Enzo Fernandez’s night of shame with the Argentina National squad during the Copa Americas with video footage going world wide in sing song mode with offensive racist overtone chants abusing French players with African heritage to spark a racist storm. Fernandez was rewarded with the captain’s armband in Chelsea’s offer of solace to portray Fernandez as the victim in part for being mistaken, but the eyes and ears don’t lie as Fernadez blasted out the Argentina racist rendition to abuse to be renegade the Chelsea way, creepy Chelsea, a club that lacks moral fibre.

Manager Maresca’s decision to give Fernandez the armband reveals the Italian’s solipsism to focus on one’s own wants and needs, to cast aside the unwanted. The Fernandez hurt inflicted. Link to article October 8^th 2019 ‘A Historical Look at Racism Issues in Football’. The Maresca crazed blur went further stating that he has many captains, they’re all lined up then, but on this particular occasion I will pick the Argentinian one, makes sense? You have to deride this think tank. Teammate if it can be framed as this Wesley Fofana changed tact from previous distain quote “It’s just a video, the video is bad”. The Manero response, that makes everything good then, seeing and listening does not betray the mind. Fofana further dug up a deeper trench, quote “I would have posted the same thing.” It’s become all of an ethic then, the thick drain pipe of the pro footballer on occasions has now become the trust game, ‘I trust him’ which links to the Chelsea hierarchy and their chosen word of deceit, now you can put your trust in that?

Early Sightings the Prem Part 1

Early sightings early doors, first impressions on the start of the 2024-25 season the Premiership Liverpool’s Arne Slot set the marker down at Ipswich Town to send a message out, I will not tolerate any player who does not adhere to my tactics and is not up to the challenge, learn quickly or come off quickly. Slot was an impressive figure on his introduction to the oven of the Premiership. Brighton and Hove Albion’s new manager Fabian Hurzeler looks to a cut above the norm with the fringe cut haircut to portray the youthful age of the Hurzeler at 31 years of age as the youngest manager in Premiership history, does the age matter? To put the record straight Hurzeler does have ten years coaching experience, a strong will and belief, self-installed.

The wolves at the door, will that be the case for Wolverhampton Wanderers being sounded out as relegation fodder, players departing, neto to Chelsea at 54 million pounds and Max Kilman to Westham marked down at 40 million pounds, low fee players have signed for a combined total of 25 million pounds, four incoming players at time of writing. Manager Gary O’Neil has signed a four year contract but losing the club’s best assets does not auger well for the season ahead. Possible rivals in the relegation haunted house are Everton, who thrive on facing the odds with the right man at the helm Sean Dyche to take the task on, a promising transfer window has seen quality players come in, of the opinion that Dyche needs to ditch the lone striker role perhaps the reason for Calvert-Lewin’s no-contract signing, a change of systems and tactics to slot in the new players to assist in more goals being scored, the Achilles heel, that needs to be addressed.

Leicester City’s return to the Prem not to be handicapped by points reductions, the kangaroo PSR obliged rich pickings, the club’s talisman James Vardy at 37 is ripening on the cusp of more goals to follow having overshadowed the new manager Steve Cooper’s arrival. Vardy of a natural waiflike figure has set in stone that age does not matter, keep your fitness, your drive, the passion and those super powers will remain, no time to hand the Krypton Factor over. Perhaps Vardy’s longevity is down to using sinus nicotine patches to place against the gums, smile please, the Vards is also fuelled by Red Bull, sponsorship deal on the way? Even with the Vardy goals Leicester’s hopes of survival are of mosquito portions, crunch.

At the top end of the table, the Manchester City juggernaut continues to do what they always do and win, could this be City’s last season as big time glorification hunters? The city box of tricks to be opened on the ongoing malpractice allegations. The jumping Pep in a box Guardiola has retained his appetite for more of the glorification cake, cream it on Pep. Can Haaland add more to his game? That’s on Pep’s watch, is Grealish on the timer exit zone? It’s a battle Royale for starting berths, will the off the field foreplay affect matters on the pitch? The city clock is ticking, on the Blue Mooners’ tinder box.

At the Chelsea, Chelsea, the staggering numbered squad players pans out to forty three players at the last sighting (time of writing) perhaps the hierarchy have lost count, crazy loon tunes, players on five plus years contracts, to play the owner’s dunce hat. Brentford’s James Toney is on the market, but Chelsea do not do the obvious to sign the requirement of a proper centre-forward, beam the Scotty to the goalkeeping position and the reported seven GK’s on the books and not one up to scratch is that the case? What is the case is that Chelsea need to start delivering on the 1.2 billion pounds spent since the Todd Boehly ownership, the Boehly American dream to bust gut the Premiership under the franchise ownership.

At Manchester United, Ten Haag’s stay of execution prolongs with the continued signings of the Dutch contingent, players proven in part but not Premiership tested, Ruud Van Nistelrooy is waiting in the wings to replace Ten Haag’s inevitable exit, that’s the real narrative. One manager touted for the United manager was Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna have been splashing the cash with 84 million pounds spent, Jacob greaves from Hull City at a reported 15 million pounds plus with addons. The loan signing of Kaylin Philips from Manchester City is a signature signing with the tractor boys covering Phillip’s 150,000 pounds a week wages, the odds against the town surviving relegation are not favourable. Fellow relegation Southampton in sync have plunged 100 million pounds with incoming players recouping 25 million pounds on player exits. The Saints manager Russell Martin is highlighted in the Manero article July 2022 “55 Minutes and Out – Young Guns on the Manager’s Block” to continue the theme with the remaining ten Premiership clubs Part 2 to feature in November’s edition.

The Manero Response on X

To Leicester City escaping a PSR points reduction

@chestermanero
Leicester delayed the publishing of their accounts by 1 month but not held accountable for this.

@chestermanero
Leicester committed inside the Prem and have now returned to the Prem rehash the old to reactivate. We can all talk bollocks but is it.
