Peter Kenyon has left his post as Chief Executive of Chelsea. The move has been met with a mixed reaction as some are glad to see the back of him, while others are mystified as to why he left.,

Frank Arnesen now looks set to walk into the position as Kenyon’s role in football is now up in the air. The strongest rumour going around is that Kenyon left because of his role in the process that eventually saw Chelsea get banned from signing any players in the next two transfer windows.

Kenyon was part of the initial team that was taken to Stamford Bridge by owner, Roman Abramovic, when the Russian completed a take over deal. Kenyon had previously been employed at Manchester United who were fuming when their best businessman was taken away from them and whisked down south.

Bruce Buck, Chelsea Chairman, said: “Peter has done a fantastic job for Chelsea in the last five-and-a-half years and has been absolutely central to the success on and off the field we have had during that time.”

It is unknown where Kenyon will go next but it looks as though he may take a long break from football befoe deciding to start throwing around applications for high proifle jobs at a variety of football clubs. He could bring a lot to the table for many teams but they will be wary in the immediate after math period as Chelsea fans have warned against him, saying that he is the reason the internal transfer system of the club has started to decay.

Kenyon himself said: “I think we have really built a club, in a relatively short space of time, that can be in the forefront of European football for many years to come. That is a major achievement. I intend to take a little time off but I am certain I have at least one major challenge left in me.”

Chelsea said yesterday that they will not rush in repalcing Kenyon who held the position for a very long time. It is thought that Arnesen is the strongest candidate to walk into the role although there will be a lot of applications for the job.The thing that Arnesen has going in his favour though is the respect that he’s been at the club already for a long time, knows how it will work and knows what he will wan
