Liam Rosenior compendium thread

[Arfa Sleep]

Has to be, these owners have been through a fair few managers already

He’s already in there system at Strasbourg so although he’s been given a long contract will no doubt be a cheap and easy appointment and sacking. They have a chance of f***ing their season up as they are on for top four as it is.

The Head Coach is just there to manage their assets, as long as the HC is happy with that role it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Genuinely think this is a Ricky Sbragia appointment to mind the ship until the summer, when they're more able to make a sustained play for a proper manager.

6 year deal is a bit over the top in that case.

Absolutely mental appointment for a club like Chelsea

Can’t get me head round it

Suspect Potter failed due to his lack of gravitas and PL experience. Rosenior will be the same

Chelsea are becoming like Brighton or Brentford : the coach isn't the most important person at the club

Lots of clubs have influencial sporting directors like, Man City do/did as did Liverpool

 

[Happy_Layabout]

The PL is a different beast to Ligue 1

It is. And he's just managed two draws and three losses in his last five Ligue 1 games.

Its the type of bloke like a lower half prem side might take a punt on

Chelsea and the wider blueco that runs Straousbourg etc have just been recruiting anyone that's been remotely involved with Brighton in the last 10 years.

6 and half year deal is utterly mental

Strange one for me as I'd love to see him succeed but I fkn can't stand Chelsea

Yep was the same with Potter

Also the same with Ange at Spurs, another club I can't stand.

But I dislike them clubs too much, so haway Liam get sacked before the end of the season so we can finish above Chelsea please!

 

[Pacific]

what is it with Chelsea and mental contract lengths. i know there trying to fiddle something

6 and a half year though. just means another massive payoff when they inevitably sack him after a few

 

[SAFC11]

Cant see it working out, but good luck to him. Though I hate Chelsea as a club so

 

[Di Canios Knees]

Bizarre decision imo for me, it screams of the club just going for an easy target because he’s at their other club, no way would have even been in the conversation if he was at any other random French club imo.

 

[SHEEPSKINBOOTS]

Sol Campbell loving this appoinment
Good luck to Rosenior i think he is going to do a good job .

Is the contract with Chelsea or BlueCo? And is it specifically to be head coach, or can they use him in other positions assuming his pay is unchanged? I imagine there'll be a fair few loopholes in there.

He's already with BlueCo, internal promotion from Strasbourg. I'm sure there's plenty of loopholes going on.

 

[Hackney Mackem]

God Chelsea literally don’t have clue do they?

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

6 year deal is mental

 

[Billy Batts]

6 years

Yeah, they'll find a way to move him around within the Blueco set up.

He has the advantage of knowing the organisation.

Does the fact the owners own both clubs fenagle some finance issues
