Im not sure if he's worse then potter, at least potter had come kind of half decent resume. Ok so he worse then potter, I don't think i've felt this bad about a manager since Claudio and right now Claudio would be a gift!!

But the manager feels like the least of our problems, this ownership and management group has done serious long lasting damage to the club, its pure neglagence what has occured and i'm afraid that are not even at the start of the downward trajectory we are about to come in

In the almost 4 years since they brought the club:

• No closer to a new Staduim, a commitment that was made as part of the aquastition

• F*cked over life long fans shifting them out of their seats to increase corporate sales

• Spent most of the time with out a font of shirt sponsor (Despite telling us that the previous ownership were doing a shoddy job)

• managed to achieve the lofty title of the biggest year on year loss of any premier league club.

• Only managed to comply with finicale rules by selling the hotel and women team... to them selves..

• have employed back to back managers who are basically competition winners

• Made brighton very rich

• For most of the time, minus the last 10 or so games of the poch era the product on the pitch has been awful.

We have good players. What we need are better Sporting Directors or ONE good Sporting Director and ONE good manager. It kind of surprises me that the investment firm that run our 'product' or the investment or whatever it is . . .it surprises me that the capitalist kunts that run the Chelsea business do not realise that you NEED to have a competent Sporting Director and a top quality coach at the helm. Are they really so fcucking clueless? I mean Chelsea FC is a top of the line Football Sporting business and they - the board? - have literally put a bunch of no-nothing ass clowns in charge. This is not good for OUR football club, but it is also not good for their "sporting business".

It's like buying a property in central London.

It's value increases without doing anything.

Todd reckons we're worth more now than they paid for us. .In the meantime, first Todd,now Eghbali have been f**king around with our club as if it's their plaything, convinced that despite having no knowledge of club football that they know better than everyone else.

From day one they made decisions that weren't needed and ruined us. f**king useless clowns

As we all probably know, he is going nowhere. Not qualifying for the champions league affects our ffp, which hits the budget. Sacking Rosenior and paying his 6 year contract would have some impact on that. And hiring someone else. Until the owners realise that just because they are American and have a severe dose of American exceptionalism, that football is not American sports, is not something that you can come in and change the whole model because you feel you know best. Until that particular penny/cent drops, we are aiming for mediocrity at best.

I don't doubt he would do something special if we gave him time, unfortunately it would lead us to the relegation zone like Spurs.

We've had these briefings for every manager and they've still ended up getting the boot, hopefully this is the same

I do not blame him, he was not even good enough in the first place.

Some of the players will probably be desperate for a way out this summer and some others will be shown the door. Who is going to come into this mess knowing there is no European football and the sporting directors dictate the transfers? Surely not a decent manager.

No sane person would take over at this club knowing he'd have to turn into a puppet and have little to no say on important matters.

On the plus side he is definately going at the end of the season, position is untenable at this stage, just need to keep the pr3ssure on the ownership though so his sacking isnt just a scapegoat.

I actually think the scluting department is okay, we identify the right players, ie Olise, Barcola, Doue, Osimhen, Huijsen, Cherki, Palmer, Caicedo, Estavao, Enzo.

The issue is the model, and wage structure.

We sign far too many players.

We sign far too many young raw players.

We miss out on the right players because of the wage structure.

I dont know whose vision it is to enforce this. Is it Eghbali, or is it winstanley and Stewart?

We need to reduce playing staff by about a third. Bring in a single top SD, and top coach, concerntrate on developing cobham grads, (just won pl2 good crop again), to either use in 1st team or to free up funds to increase the wage budjet and actually get the 2/3 top signings we need each summer.

Its really not rocket science, and as bad a job as this lot of have done so far, Cobham will bail them out again with the likes of Derry, Kavuma-McQueen, Mhueka, Rabbaj, Watson, Walsh, Ezenwata, Eboue and more.

Shambles he has been. Please get rid of him.

Not a cause of our demise, but rather a symptom. Inept? Absolutely. But BlueCo have assembled a crap squad, crap staff, and simply destroyed the club.

Everyone looking forward to our 0-3 zip defeat to United?

When you think about it, this has to be the worst permanent appointment this club has ever made, right? The first manager I remember us having was Gullit and this is the worst in that time. Not just because of results because we've had people like AVB, Scolari or even Potter but they at least had some pedigree behind them where at the time we understood why they were appointed. Rosenior wasn't wanted by any of the fans, he had no managerial accomplishments to warrant the appointment, he's annoyed everyone with his LinkedIn spiel and on top of all of that the results have been terrible. If you could find the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the ownership it's Liam Rosenior. Just a BlueCo stooge who got the job because they wanted a puppet.

Nothing against him personally, he might be a nice guy but quite frankly I couldn't care less. Just get out of the club and take the board with you.

Down to 8th in the form table since he took over. He has stopped talking about that now, next 2 PL games are against Utd and Brighton.

If he goes before the season is done then Callum McFarland will tell in as interim again, then Gary O'Neil after

I doubt the owners will take any action before the end of the season. But, if they do I agree it will probably be McFarlane again.

Every time this loser gets some time to “implement his tactics and system” we get worse. We(the fans) might not be able to think up good coaching systems or tactics or how to best dismantle the opponent’s system, but we can see what works with our players and it’s not whatever Rosenior’s “system” is

We haven’t lost 3 in a row without scoring since Rudd Gullit let that sink in.

As always - BlueCo's ability to spend more in 4 years than Abramovich spent in 20, only to take us to a worse level than Ken Bates had us before that, is truly remarkable

Compares himself to Pep and Klopp then talks about having spent the last week having detailed conversations about the squad's future 🤣🤣🤣

How about you focus on winning the games first then having the "talks" on 1st June

I’m honestly switching off now , can’t be arsed with Chelsea ruining my weekend anymore. Until the sporting directors and tge glorified sh*t waffler get sacked we are totally f**ked

I'm still glad Maresca went but right now, Rosenoir is on a par. Dreadful football, gutless performances and we are being totally outclassed in majority of games.

If this continues, can see us being next seasons Spurs and even look at Leicester and think, hmmm, that could be where we are heading.

Yeah, cant be celebrating spurs' relegation if we join them the season after, although, if it moved our scum owners on I'd be delighted and would take a relegation. But the fct theyre in the bottome 3 is actually rescuing my season, cause the football under both managers has been vile to watch.

Also, the players including Palmer look like their on their summer vacations already and just going through the motions.

Just stop waffling, you stupid nerd, stop embarrassing yourself and the club you're meant to represent. There's no leadership group because there are no leaders there. You have no guts, you have no pride. If you had any shame you'd have quit the job once the game was over, but you're just another fake wannabe BlueCo product brought in to distract the fanbase from the fact that their club was stolen from under them.

Is he still here ! 🙁
