To clarify, fans were not hard on Saban when he left for the NFL Miami Dolphins, but were outraged that he went to coach Alabama.

The difference is, Trump is playing politics with it instead of focusing on the task at hand. You don't send the largest ICE operation in history and then threaten to send more to a place that ranks in the middle of the pack in illegals, without an ulterior motive.


WTF does playing politics mean?


you do understand that sending ICE to areas where the local law-enforcement are not in support means that Homeland Security has to send more agents to do the job

if MPD was doing their job they would have ticketed Good for obstructing traffic at any point of the morning she was interfering with ICE operations. MPD was not there and the ICE agents had to deal with Good themselves.

It's too bad these officers are being used as pawns in this juvenile game of power that Trump is playing.


Obama deported 3 million in 8 years with the help of local and state authorities and the support of the MSM

Tell me what is the difference?

Anyone who makes a habit of interfering with law enforcement is going to have a shorter life span on average. You can pretend to be offended by that truism. It’s still a truism.


Good exercised her freedom to make the choice to get involved in Minneapolis

Good exercised her liberty to drive down there and interfere with Federal Law Enforcement operations

Where the situation became deadly is Good’s fantasy of “fighting the fascists” intersected with the reality of “get the frick out of the car” and she freaked out and tried to escape.

LEO are trained to handle these situations and respond accordingly, Good was not.

Exercising her freedom and liberty is what got her killed cosplaying as resistance to lawful Federal LEO operations

Some defenders would certainly help. We always hear the same shite after a gaffer is sacked. “Players were quietly upset in the building.” fricking vaginas. Of course those players who were not in the regular rotation were upset. That’s not on Maresca. All managers will have their favorites and there will always be disgruntled guys who think they should have more minutes. Now if they’re upset over tactics, that’s another thing but nobody was upset when we won the CWC with those same tactics.


this article from matt law is definitely club spin of the narrative
per Matt Law - The club are open to January opportunities to add a new midfielder and a versatile attacker.

+ But defense is currently rated as the most likely position to be strengthened this month.

+ Jeremy Jacquet (Rennes) and Jacobo Ramon (Como) are the two names being linked.

+ Sources claim several of Chelsea’s key players reportedly grew frustrated under Maresca.

+ After replacing the Italian, Rosenior has moved quickly to unite the squad, holding both team meetings and one-to-one talks to understand players’ roles, form, and fitness.

+ With a heavy match schedule, he is unlikely to introduce major tactical changes, instead focusing on small adjustments to gain marginal improvements.

+ One well-placed source said: "The mood has been really good since Liam came in. Not everyone had been entirely happy, but there has been a notable shift and Liam’s communication skills have been really evident."

re: Trae Young traded

Hawks want AD
Wiz have young guys that need a PG
Wiz have $60mm cap space

not a bad trade to see if Trae fits

Anyone still feeling bullish?


I am worried if the trend continues and they dont return to CL in 26 then some of the grumbling about leaving CFC will start from key players and undermine the whole squad
this whole match was a mess, CFC could be in some real trouble

EPL table is very tight

the 7th place blues are only 5 points removed from 15th place :ahh:
quote:

Chelsea given 3 yellows and a red on one play, then delap is pulled back on the break with no card. Make it make sense you corrupt fricks


seems fishy

delap gets his first EPL goal with CFC
the club is run like a hedge fund

bring in assets, evaluate their fit, build up their value, sell at a profit

so the CFC manager has some say in evaluating the player’s fit into the system BUT if they dont fit, ownership wants the manager to try to develop them to maintain their value to sell them

that being said, it seems to me that maresca has been losing his grip for at least a month and a lot of this stuff coming out is his side doing damage control and manipulating the media narratives

I think Maresca had very questionable lineup decisions and little vision on how to manage the development of the younger guys.

Josh and Hato should have played more but he kept playing an over the hill Tosin.

Andrey Santos should have played more but Maresca insisted on running Enzo and Caicedo out for 90 minutes at a time.

Maresca took out Fernandez and played Gusto at 10 against Atalanta when he had other choices like Estevao that made more sense.

I think Maresca is a great Asst Coach that can break down film and come up with brilliant gameplans for big matches. However I think in regards to the entire club direction and management of the roster he is not very good.

maresca had his guys he trusted and ownership seemingly didnt like his answers on why he didnt trust certain players and what he was going to do to develop them. Maresca was feeling pressure so his PR team went on the offensive and the club had enough

there was fault on both sides and plenty of blame to go around for everyone

seems like it is getting worse
at least for me

safari on an ipad
Blueco owns Strasbourg and Chelsea
Rosenior is a good young coach prospect already under contract to a Blueco entity
thus he is a “known” commodity

cynics suspect Rosenior will do as he is told and play the players that Eghbali wants him to play

the issue maresca allegedly had with ownership is Eghbali pressured him to play young guys that they wanted him to play to drive up their transfer value

Gittens, Acheampong, Hato to name a few
Blues are in talks to make a 160mm transfer bid for Vini Jr

Vini Jr is 25
Pedro is 24
Palmer is 23
Estevao is 18

three Brazilians and Palmer in the front could be amazing

one other note, Rosenior and Andrey Santos have history and we might see three midfielders with Santos, Enzo, Caicedo together. Andrey Santos was a Strasbourg captain at 20 years old on loan

Andrey Santos is too good defensively to leave him off. Tuchel used three midfielders successfully while at CFC

I don’t know to that extent they did or didn’t diversify….however, a few years ago I found myself sitting in a meeting at a publicly traded medical company HQ in Lafayette. Didn’t even know it existed prior to. Was really happy for them.


LHC Group
Stuller Settings
First Solar of Louisiana
Oschner
LGMC and Lourdes
WHC

Healthcare is the largest single employing industry in Lafayette.
Oil & Gas provides numerous jobs, making Lafayette a regional hub.
Manufacturing, Construction, and Information are also key wealth-creating sectors.



the full value of VZ crude in the US is blending it with West Texas and South Texas light crude to get full capacity out of US refineries

Marathon and Valero specifically Galveston, Garyville, Three Rivers, Bill Greehey in Corpus, Port Arthur and Texas City

ETC, Enterprise already have the pipelines set up for the light crude to the GC, the Gulf Coast has the docks for heavies from VZ

Canada’s oil exports to the US will feel the hit

during Covid Biden bought a bunch of VZ crude and it messed up the unloading facilities at Corpus, they sold us their tank bottoms and slop oil

HAL, SLB, NOVA will return and begin to modernize the infrastructure, Houston consultants are about to make serious bank

Sanchez has a slight muscle pull
Fofana is running a fever

CFC are playing so tentative, it makes me sick

I don’t know what came first: EM flirting with MC or the club telling him who he could play. The defensive lineup last match was baffling. In retrospect to me it seems EM made that lineup as a frick you message to ownership.


you are right
the situation was untenable and ownership is to blame but when it came out Enzo was talking to MC (no doubt from his agent to strongarm the club) he had to go

I wish we could fire Behdad Eghbali too
Maresca was openly talking to MC about going back there so good riddance

I loved his tactics and hated his lineups, thank you for your service Enzo
