Yeah pretty sure Messi said he was one of the Barca players that hated Chelsea more than Real Madrid.

The intensity of the Premier League is going to eat him alive if he tries any of this sh*t.

Whoever that Nice lad is, he's an upgrade on Garnacho and Gittens LOL. Sign him up !

I agree. Think he's a little twat, but he's probably the best equipped from those that are currently available.

Getting ready for Rosenior-ball

So here is where we are at as a club now.

You've probably heard that several managers, from Glasner, to Iraola, to De Zerbi and other, have made it be known they do not want to come as our manager.

But would it surprise you to learn that Liam Rosenior doesn't actually want to leave Strasbourg to join Chelsea, and the only reason he is about to is because Egbahli and Co have told him, if he turns the job down, they will sack him as they don't give a damn about disrupting Strasbourg and their season?

Managers from Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and France don't want to manage Chelsea FC.

It may hurt you yo do so but if we don't take a stand, don't renew season tickets, don't but tickets for matches, no merchandise etc, what little is left of Chelsea will be gone and we won't be able to get it back.

Time is now. Now or never.

I don't think it's the case, but if Rosenior genuinely didn't want to come to Chelsea he should just take the hit. He's quite highly rated it wouldn't take long for him to get another job.

Personally would have gone for Xavi. Is available, is known for structure and disciplined approach, experienced at the highest level.

I'm guessing that top managers like Xavi are a bit gun shy about the set up at Chelsea. Top managers don't like the suits sticking their noses in.

The more time goes by the more glaringly obvious what a terrible move it is for both parties.

Rosenior will destroy his reputation in less than half a season, not that it is currently sky high anyway, but he’s doing a solid enough job in a minor league, he could’ve easily been Glasner’s replacement in the summer.

Chelsea go from a tactical muppet with very little experience to, what appears to be a tactical muppet (We’ve all seen the Penders positioning vs Palace by now) with even less experience.

As a fan it’s just hard to see, but this version of Chelsea isn’t being geared toward success or domination, we’re a financial experiment to see if this Premier League cash cow can be extorted as a viable business model for all these hedge funds and what not.

Very well said !!!

What’s the worry Sanchez has proven countless times to have great reading of the game and very comfortable in possession. This style of play is made for him.

The way he has spoken to the press about both Strasbourg the city and the club I believe that he does not want to leave.

Apparently not an option. I can believe Eghbali is that pig headed and vindictive

If thats true it is a disgrace and Clearlake should be investigated by UEFA. It is one thing to poach a manager or player from another club, but it should not be possible to force the move against their will.

It will be funny if Rosenior calls Eghbali's bluff and refuses to leave Strasbourg. If the then gets fired they would then have to find 2 managers. Not to mention the truth would come out.

Hoping like hell he doesn’t end up here.. is even more uninspiring than potter.. no auro no personality.. ohh lord..

He'll get so pummeled doing this in the Premier League that he'll forget he was ever a coach. Same thing goes for the inverted goalkeeper joke.

Indeed.
I'll gladly admit i've never watched Strasbourg but i've spent some time looking at highlights of their games now and its baaaaaaaad.

Look here for example: A simple pass bypasses their entire(!) midfield on two consecutive instances, both leading to goals. (watch from beginning)

Surely he'll figure out what to do and not what to do right?

Like are managers some special kind of human being where they make life hard and jeopardise their own results just to stick to a style of play?

I refuse to believe that everyone is like that.

BLUECO WORKING OVERTIME TO GET THE FANS ONBOARD, get them brown envelopes working

Journalist claims Liam Rosenior has three “important skills,” they could make him a good Chelsea manager

Anyone care to guess what his 3 important skills are?

The former Hull boss is a highly regarded young coach and Olley believes he’s got three skills which could make him a good Chelsea manager.

“I haven’t had a lot of a chance to speak to people about him, but I did speak to somebody this morning who told me that he’s a very good relationship builder,” he told ESPN FC.

“He’s very good at managing up and he’s a very effective communicator. And those are important skills.”

SO HE ADMITS HES NEVER MET HIM AND NEVER EVEN SPOKEN TO PEOPLE ABOUT HIM YET HE KNOWS HE HAS 3 IMPORTANT SKILLS
