I'm very interested to see which players are the winners and which are the losers under Rosenior.

It clearly hasn't been a meritocracy up to now.

If that continues then we will know definitively who is calling the shots on team selection.

I can already advance to you that Enzo will continues to play every 90 minutes.

Another thing can we stop appointing managers with the same name as our players. It just confuses me.

And one bonus for him is he will finally get to see his kids.... And his wife?

Yay, such an inspiring choice from the board. It’s all up from here!

Don't know what everyone os worrying about..its only a six year contract!

An underwhelming and truly embarrassing appointment.

Every other top club in the Premier League will be laughing at us.

And that is before he comes out with his cringe worthy quotes.

Fairly sure the long contracts are balanced out by the wage and the exit clauses.

Precisely. Exit clauses especially. Hence why Maresca didn't get a pay out.

Yep! I’m sure Liam will get success with a lot of games and get some good momentum. He looks like he has a winning mentality!

…..Delap that is!

There's rumours he walked and that's why he didn't get a pay out. Other rumours suggest exit clauses. Who knows what to believe anymore. The club is a sh*t show from top to bottom, with very few positives in between. I will obviously be giving my support to Liam and the team but I'm not filled with confidence one bit.

I wish him luck... Play your best players in their best positions and stop with this sideways and backwards bull sh*t. I wont stop calling for him to be sacked if he inverts fullbacks in a 10 occupying the half space behind the shadow of the oppoisitions right back.

You’ll feel the same as with Starmer after you watch Sanchez invert into the CB position…

I swear if I see this nonsense

Best of luck to him. He has glasses so I assume he's clever.

Not as clever as the geniuses at BlueCo though, who have in one fell swoop weakened both sides in their multi-club model and pissed off everybody involved. They must be the most unpopular people in Alsace since 1940.

If I see Gusto in midfield again, I'm Rosenior out

Should only be appointed on a maximum of a rolling weekly contract.

If this doesn't work out and Rosenior gets pissed off with the hierarchy, surely that's when the investors need to look into what the hell Egbhali and the rest of the board are even doing.

At least they aren't hiding it anymore, the twats. Development side FC.

I hope anyone who's ever supported these leeches hang their heads in deep shame.

Exactly. Where is the assumption coming from that an established name = short term. Tosspots

The "innovator" has arrived. Lets hope he is a footballing genius.

It certainly feels like we've reached that tipping point with this appointment.

All veneers must surely be stripped away now ... even for the most naïve of observers ?

I seem to be in a minority of not being overly bothered by the new manager signing, it is what it is, he almost cant do any worse than Maresca has been in the majority of his games if he just does what the under 21s lad did, play the players where they are best, let them do the job they are best at.

Sounds like the nickname for a strap on.

Apologies, there is a bit of an edge to me today. Just a bit pissed off!

Lol
it was the bbc news headline - describing him as an innovator.

Fact is we are looking at a manager that plays similar to the Pep, Maresca, Arteta way of "normal" football and yet he takes a little more risk. Let these "generational talent" young players 'play'. It is what it is.
