Aye I think he's quality, lost the entire defence last summer and are still completing. Obviously a question mark due to his lack of experience at the top but he'd give it a go. 

Hear this a lot and agree he’s a good manager but the current league table suggests they are not competing for much. Certainly wouldn’t sack Eddie Howe to bring him in.

In any other universe could you imagine a PL top club appointing some bloke who had managed Derby, Hull and Strasbourg without a single honour on their CV? :lol: 

 

 

 

How's the bacon did you say?

They are on a bad run but only 7 points off top 5.  Honestly thought they be struggling more with how ripped apart they were in the summer.  He's a clearly a top manager and coach.

He's not been sacked primarily because of performance. He's lost the job because he doesn't want to be a puppet and is causing issues behind the scenes.

 

The Chelsea approach will damage a managers reputation. Truly ambitious managers like Maresca will want to move on. At best some may use it as an opportunity to then join a team that wants to win things consistently so will leave after a year or two. Chelsea are becoming a top 5 Brighton it seems.

 

 

 

 

Performance has definitely come into it with only 1 win in 7 in the league.

If what I heard on Talkshite, the from aboves at Chelsea were telling him who to play, interfering with team selection.

 

If that's true fair play to him for walking, but it was Talkshite so who knows what true, sounds like it could be mind.

A club for bellends, ran by bellends with bellends on the field cheered on by bellends in the stands.

There's never been a time since I got into football in the late 80s when this could not have been said of them, no matter the massive changes in football and at Chelsea, this never changes.

Whoever goes there will have to be a fucking patsy. The owners want their investments played, so there's no doubt they'll be having their say as to the team sheet

Always thought Rosenior was a really good pundit when he was on Sky. Did a good job at Hull and seemingly doing well over in France too. Think this move is probably a step too soon for him.

They just need the ultimate man manager to keep the players happy. No point in bringing in anyone with grandiose ideas.

Would Iraola go there? I know it’s a chance to manage a big club and big dough. But he doesn’t strike me as a yes man or the type that would want to work under such ridiculous conditions.

Really hope he doesn’t.

Why wouldn’t he? It’s the only job in world football that you can go to, do badly at and come out of it the other end with your reputation in tact because “it’s Chelsea”.

 

You get a multimillion pound payout and your pick of the top jobs across the world.


Alternatively, you have a bit of success and still end up coming out with the same.

Everything I’ve seen from Rosenior since the changing room footage, interviews etc he comes across like someone who’s done too many postive thinking management seminars and listens to diary of a ceo podcast on repeat. Convinced he’s a fraud like the Potter’s, Martin’s, Beale’s. 
 

I’m baffled they haven’t gone for a more established coach.

Exactly this. You just know he has a 2026 mood board set up at home.

Works for Arteta. He's verging on being an irredeemable management speak nonce but gets player buy in for his guff. Helps they buy gimps like Gabriel, Jorginho, Havertz and Partey.

Whilst I find them boring. Arteta has built a very decent system there and has shaped it over time. I’m not sure it’s to do with 90% people skills and 10% football and all his Brent like quotes. Like the one about the light bulb :lol:

Probably a bit of personal bias and wishful thinking here, but I feel like we're going to exit the era of high brow football podcasts soon. The extent to which they've disappeared up their own arses has made them unlistenable.
