Sacked. At last ! When you think of the calibre of some of the managers they've previously sacked, and then the cat and mouse with Rosenoir. CHELSEA STATEMENT IN FULL Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with Head Coach Liam Rosenior. On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, we would like to place on record our gratitude to Liam and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club. Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following his appointment mid-way through the season. This has not been a decision the Club has taken lightly, however recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season. Everyone at Chelsea FC wishes Liam every success in the future. Calum McFarlane will take charge of the team as Interim Head Coach until the end of the season with support from existing Club backroom staff, as we strive to achieve European qualification and progress in the FA Cup. As the Club works to bring stability to the Head Coach position, we will undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment.

According to an article just appeared on the BBC website: "Rosenior feels '100%' support from Chelsea owners"

Tell me there's a get-out clause !

"Chelsea will back under-fire manager Liam Rosenior even if Blues miss out on Champions League football... with boss also given more input into summer transfer targets than predecessor Enzo Maresca" (24 March, Mail Sport) This is going to be fun.

JM came to Chelsea year after winning Champions League -first time round - with Porto (2004). Don't see LR doing that, even in twenty years time.

If he was genuinely talking to City, and this isn't just an empty rumor. Yes they were right to sack him.

Mourinho. That young team need some maturity and experience around them. He can also speak English, which after the last manager, has to be a bonus.

Who changed the system ?

Spurs at the Bridge next week.

Reminds me of Avram Grant, cone man.

Poch blanks Boely.

The world isn't full of infinite possibilities, though that would be nice. Jose is available, he knows Chelsea and the Premier League, and from the bio that I just read he's won a fair few trophies. Jose is a great manger, and I'd like those players to at least have the opportunity to play for a manager who knows what he is doing.

Tuesday 7 March 2023. Graham Potter manager. Stamford Bridge Chelsea 2, Borussia Dortmund 0 Borussia currently top of the Bundesliga with 70 points.

I read today that Pochettino wants to build a squad around Lukaku (he might think of him as a Harry Kane figure). If this is the case, the answer from me is NO NO NO.

Frank was a great player for Chelsea but he's confused this with being able to manage a Premier League team of 11 highly talented players. A lot of people on here were equally confused and I was so angry. The one doesn't inevitably lead to the former. Frank has now put himself firmly in the same camp as Neville and Scholes, great players, crap managers. At least this is a road Chelsea won't have to experience again.
