Now am starting to warm to him. He maybe a bang average football manager but seems like thoroughly good human being. Top gent!!!

I just can't be arsed to post any thoughts on this subject at the moment.

Every time I try my brain just feels insulted and says don't engage with this stupidity.

I guess we just have to accept this is the guy and give him a least a bit of a chance. I'm not expecting much, though, especially since the model will never change under this ownership.

Someone should show BlueCo this. Nevermind the Chelsea job he'd be banished from the BlueCo organization as a whole for speaking against Trump!

Given the amount we have invested in players it's absurd that we look like bringing in this inexperienced bloke to manage them.

Blue co.have described him as a fantastic talent but I don't see others fighting for his signature.

No other top team in the Premier league has such a junior individual looking after the team.

They are gonna struggle to sack their golden boy when the time comes. He's one of their own.

Better managers than this fella have failed here.

Bonkers to envisage him giving instructions to Reece Enzo Caicedo and Cole.

Even more reason to not trust our owners. Im just going to call them scum from now on.

Just watching a few highlights of their recent games. Heard a very familiar line from the commentator:

"Rosenior's team failed to have a single shot on target in the first half, and they often lacked cutting edge in the final third."

Oh joy.

I genuinely think if they saw this he wouldn’t be in the BlueCo system.

I guess we are used to this already so our expectations are already low.

On what basis do you think that Iraola would been less equipped. He has been managing in the strongest league in European football since 2023. In what way would he be less equipped than Rosenoir, who has never taken a top flight game

Iraola looks perfect to me.

• Plays decent football.

• Gets the team performing better than the sum of the parts.

• Doesn't bat an eyelid when you strip away all his good players every season ... 😎

He's been managing a well run club with zero expectations but staying mid table. No pressure. A fan base that is basically non existent.

Done well when his players have been sold? Bournemouth are 15th and they've failed to win in ten games. Give over.

At least Rosenior has had to deal with a fan base that cares about results and has managed a team in Europe

Ultimately Boehly lost his position of authority following the disastrous appointment of Potter. If Rosenior appointment goes similarly, I suspect there will be similar pressure on Eghbali and co to step back from their role. Although it remains to be seen who would then step in. Maybe Boehly gets a second go? In the meantime we could be in a real mess if this doesn't work out.

Only manager I'd actually give patience to is Cesc.

Fits what these f**kwits are looking for and he resonates with the club.

I think the reports that Clearlake's shareholders are growing upset is the biggest thing for me. What if the fanbase all turn on Eghbali? Surely the shareholders will act?

Will be a joke of an appointment. We’re finished as a top club with these clowns and their decisions, bottom half finish and no trophies incoming.

Really hope he is not the next coach. This could be a disaster on many levels, both internally and externally.

Will put so much pressure on him from media, pundits and all the comes with the internet! Then there are players to convince, SD’s and medical people to say YES to.

Er… TODD you do know this Rosenior bloke has slagged off the Donald, so under the NEW esta system he will NEVER be allowed into the USA

I know it’s hard for a lot of fans to start accepting this but it’s the new REALITY of Chelsea.

I will fully zoned out of all this once’s he’s confirmed.

Agree with you on Cesc. I think the fanbase would generally have an extra degree of patience with managers that had a previous and popular connection to the club and fans. Lamps, JT, and Cesc would fall into that category. Rosenior doesn't have that connection with us. Perhaps he would get more time if he was at Fulham where he spent some of his playing career.

"L’Equipe understands that BlueCo are expected to pay Strasbourg a transfer fee to relieve Rosenior of his duties before making him join the Premier League side."

How would that work given Blueco also owns Strasbourg? I imagine UEFA will be waiting with a big fine over some conflict of interests.

We can’t do much but we can voice our disgust at the owners and this appointment but it has to be at the games before, during and after. I fear as a fanbase it just won’t happen though

It’s like watching your Labrador puppy drown and you can’t do a thing about it.

Club is totally soulless now, I’ve never felt as alienated as a fan as I do today.

Yeah I’m pretty sure the whole reason uefa have been against owners owning multiple clubs in the past was against situations like these. Strasbourg has basically become Chelsea’s B team

Bournemouth have been 4th to 6th in the xG points table all season ; they have less actual points than they should have basically because Petrovic has been a liability in goal (statistically the second worst keeper in the PL). I hadn't realised he had been that bad until I dropped in on the Cherries forum and saw how disappointed all their fans were with him (they wish they'd bought Kepa instead!)

The underlying management set up has been pretty sound for a small club competing in the PL with the big boys.

Took an easy two points off us as well didn't he !

The underlying management has been great, like at Fulham, Brighton and Crystal Palace. I'm just not buying that any manager at that club is dealing with pressure similar to that at Chelsea, and that its probably tougher dealing with the fan pressure at Strasbourg than those clubs.

Bournemouth also lost 2 of their key defenders in the summer and are about to lose Semenyo. I imagine Iraola will get a chance at a bigger club soon as he is well regarded. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the next Man United manager if and when they choose to part ways with Amorim.

I guess we all knew deep down he would be Maresca’s replacement one day.

Not my first choice but I will give him a chance. No point writing him off already, I mean he can’t do much worse than Maresca with the line ups.

I’m so glad we’re not going to see bullsh*t like Gusto in the hole anymore. The noise of playing with wing backs gives me optimism, as we definitely do not have the quality to be playing 2 centre backs.

Looks like Clearlake will be creating 2 problems from 1 now too lol:
