They hire two more employees after Vivell and then fire him because they have too many employees? What is satire allowed to do?
It reads really strange, but in principle Chelsea does exactly the same with the sporting management as with the team. You buy a lot more than you need to see what works and sort out the rest.
However, this is not a football concept but also, for example, in tech companies with a lot of free cash flow. To put it colloquially, you throw as much as possible against the wall, see what sticks and continue with it. In the worst case, nothing works, but at least you have contributed to minimizing the tax burden.
I’m curious where Vivell ends up now, the time at Chelsea may have made him even more attractive, despite the short term.
If there are no offers, I would like to see him join us as Technical Director / Squad Planner. Nils Schmadtke was already a good first step, but today, in addition to the scouting boss, 3 others in the sporting area are required for professional positioning – sport director, sport director and technical director / squad planner. We finally have 2 now, a 3rd would be great. But think after Chelsea he’ll get better offers than working under Virkus.
