GO AND GET IRAOLA TODAY, IM SURE BOURNEMOUTH WONT STAND IN HIS WAY WITH ONLY 5 GAMES TO GO

If he stays until the end of the season. He will not be here next year. Surely. He should not have taken the job. He was never a top quality manager. He never even had the "potential".

what needs to happen - we need ONE top quality Sporting Director and a top quality manager. We may know more about who is available after the World Cup.

what won't happen - Blue.co are not going anywhere. For reference the Glazers are still in charge of United after 21 years. This is capitalism. Its bloody awful, but nothing is changing any time soon.

There's a great pool of managers available this summer and watch us get the worst, the absolute worst of the lot.

On the basis that they have shown the door to Tuchel, Potter, Saltor, Lampard, Pochettino, Maresca and upcoming Rosenior in barely 4 years, i am with you guys, let's put Winstanley and Stewart in the dug out. Its the only way we'll get the rancid fckers out of the club

Yep, agreed

Chelsea are weighing up the future of Liam Rosenior following the dismal loss to Brighton.

Chelsea had hoped to judge Rosenior in years not weeks, but he is now fighting to save his job. Senior leadership discussing next steps today in a fluid situation.

As I said before, I do not blame him, he was not good enough to begin with. It's the clowns in charge of all the moves that are to blame for picking the squad and all the managers. If they wanted someone short term and to steady the ship, they should have chosen someone like Terry or anyone closer to the club or the PL.

Not only these clowns made a mess of this squad, but also picked one wrong manager after another. It's time to go!!!

I'm assuming we get Felipe Luis next season, which would be an interesting appointment. I don't know how I'd feel about that.

Personally I'd go for Glasner or Rohl.

Until the end of the season I'd get Terry in, but that is assuming that there isn't some major issue behind the scenes that means half the squad don't hate him - which knowing Terry, isn't unlikely.

Nothing matters until there's drastic changes upstairs in my opinion. Which we don't know if there will be until the summer.

In the miracle we have a legitimate sporting director and our strategy is tweaked, I'd honestly go Cesc.

If they do let him go before the end of the season, they will almost certainly have one of the assistants take over for the last few games (e.g. McFarlane). I doubt much will change unless we appoint a competent manager, give them what they need, and let them work without interference.

I think Cesc would be an interesting appointment, but he also may need a season or 2 more to gain experience. I would rather see us appoint somebody more established like Glasner.

I'm just completely against 3 at the back systems mate. Glasner is also a little to pragmatic for my liking.

Cesc paired with a very good backroom staff and sporting director, I think will be very special. I'd be willing to give him a lot of time.

Enough of the young flavour of the months. Potter, Maresca, Rosenior and even Poch - all managers who didnt have a backbone to manage and seemed to want to pander to the players. Liam ripping into the players last night has been well overdue...the players have been dialling it in for a long time.

That is not to say that Liam has been good. He has single handedly failed to get the team playing in the way I believe we need to play. I dont believe this group of players is as bad as some suggest. They just need to be instructed to go out, play with the handbrake off, and stop playing the slow, risk averse football we have favoured for years.

Anyone else reloading this thread within every couple minutes just to see if it's been done?

Fabrizio Romano now reporting a decision will be made on Rosenior before FA Cup.

Does anyone actually care? These f**kwits don’t deserve a trophy after this train wreck of a season.

I think they will be trying to assess if we have a better chance of winning v Leeds with a) Liam Rosenior or b) No manager

its a tough call.

Not really fair for Seth tbh.

Gus Hiddink maybe? WE need a grown up manager. Glen Hoddle? Gullit? Zola?

After the world cup - i really don't know. . . .

WORSE THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS THAT

1. SACK ROSENOIR AND LET MCFARLANE TAKE THE JOB TO THE END OF THE SEASON AND WE SOMEHOW WIN THE FA CUP (HE WILL THEN GET A 5 YEAR CONTRACT AS MANAGER)

2. KEEP ROSENOIR AND AGAIN HE SOMEHOW WINS THE FA CUP (THEY WILL USE THE EXCUSE HES WORKING AND KEEP HIM)

BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS WE LOSE TO LEEDS AND FINISH OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN PLACES AND THEY WILL HAVE TO GET A NEW MANAGER/COACH

Sadly you’re right. I can’t help thinking that sacking him now compared to at the end of the season when no targets have been met may save them a fortune that’s the only reason they haven’t pulled the trigger.

Seems inevitable he’s gone now with all the leaks and hit pieces coming out.

Would be their dumbest decision to let him stay for the semi final and/or the end of the season.

No idea who they will go for in the summer. Iraola/Fabregas or Filipe Luis probably the best we can hope for. Maybe Xabi Alonso would be interested.

Strong rumours he’s been sacked.

Leaks coming out about Chelsea’s next manager will have experience at the highest level etc…
