"I HATE HIM!" Rory Jennings & Cundy SLAM Chelsea after Liam Rosenior's Tenure I Studs Up Jason Cundy, Rory Jennings and Ryon Scott-Douglas are back and they don’t hold back on Liam Rosenior tenure at Chelsea.

McFarlane Press Conference | Chelsea vs Leeds Utd | 24/04/26 | Chelsea FC 25/26

make sure the jinx is centred, lolol

If Ornstein on NBC is right, it would be between these managers and Iraola/Fabregas Since he seemed to suggest it’s a manager currently in a job but could be available in the summer

Lot of stories on the players and the manager. No doubt the players are a petulant bunch for a group that hasn’t performed consistently even for a season. But I wonder if these journalists can do a similar critical piece reporting on the owners and what went behind their decision making ? From top to down, this club needs a massive reset.

I like the move no deep dive it just seems like the right thing

I will likely walk if we appoint Howe or even worse, Kieran McKenna Silva is almost at that level of shite. SO depressing! I hate hate hate BlueCo.

Who Should Replace Liam Rosenior? 🤔 Rory Jennings and MAH

Bodø/Glimt’s Sporting Director Håvard Sakariassen (a native Norwegian at a Norwegian club) is massively impressive in that interview. Surely he is snapped up by some far larger club soon (or a big club tries to pull him, whether he leaves or not is not a given, he seems to genuinely love it at Bodø/Glimt).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Farioli snip Ajax On 23 May 2024, Farioli was appointed head coach of Dutch club Ajax, signing a three-year contract and becoming the club's first Italian manager.[20] His appointment also marked the first time Ajax had hired a foreign manager since Morten Olsen in the 1997–98 season. Taking charge following a disappointing 2023–24 campaign, Farioli sought to stabilise the squad by implementing a disciplined defensive structure similar to that of his previous tenure at Nice. His emphasis on organisation, tactical flexibility, and youth development contributed to Ajax holding the best defensive record in the league and reaching first place in the 2024–25 Eredivisie by March 2025. A pivotal moment in the season came with a 2–0 away victory over title rivals PSV, which drew praise for Farioli's tailored tactical approach. Analysts highlighted Ajax's pressing schemes and rehearsed player movements aimed at exploiting PSV's defensive shape, as well as his in-game shift to a 5–4–1 formation to protect the lead. Despite holding a nine-point lead with five matches remaining, Ajax suffered a dramatic collapse and were overtaken by PSV, who secured the title on the final day. Farioli, visibly emotional after the final match, stated he had "no regrets" despite the outcome. Reports of internal disagreements over tactics, transfer policy, and budget constraints followed, culminating in Farioli's departure by mutual consent on 19 May 2025.

I posted (had not yet seen your snippet when I did so, and hat tip to you finding it as well) the entire thing here: brutal and brilliant takedown of BlueCo by Mehreen Khan of The Times (she is their economics editor)

❌️🔵Francesco Farioli, on the other hand, is not considering a move from Porto to Chelsea. The Portuguese newspaper A Bola reports that the coach has no interest in trading the Estádio do Dragão for Stamford Bridge. This stance is described as unequivocal. The project he is building in Portugal remains his priority. Farioli only arrived in July 2025 and has already signed a contract through 2028. His contract includes a release clause of 20 million euros (17.4 million pounds), which, however, is reduced to 15 million euros (13 million pounds) during the transfer window. Even then, any move would ultimately depend on his willingness to leave and that willingness simply isn’t there at this point. Off the field, he is said to have settled in completely. His family life in Porto is harmonious; the Italian, his wife, and their two children feel at home and valued in the city. This stability is another factor reinforcing his current stance.

Mehreen Khan shreds BlueCo and the utter arrogance of American BlueCo billionaires, especially when talking about José E. Feliciano saying that managers are simply not important at all to footballing sucess (which is hyper-madness, ignorance and of course, typical American-centric private equaity-driven arrogance). She should do a once a month or so footie podcast of her own. I would subscribe to it in a heartbeat.

great show from Tifo Football by The Athletic Chelsea sack Rosenior (w/ The Times economics editor, and long time Chelsea supporter, Mehreen Khan), plus why America fears relegation & Bodø/Glimt Sporting Director interview. Epiphenomenal refers to a secondary phenomenon, specifically a mental state, that occurs alongside a physical process but has no causal influence on it. Often considered a byproduct of brain activity, this view argues that while neural events cause thoughts or feelings, those thoughts cannot affect the physical body or world, similar to a locomotive’s steam whistle not driving the engine.

Yes, Benson said Lamps would be mad as ass to come back here to this utter shitshow that BlueCo have erected. Of all the big Chels social media pundits, Benson is the most relentlessly (in a logical fashion and manner) 'BlueCo OUT!', plus I just like his intelligence, presentations, and demeanour.

I pray that Lamps isn’t actually on the list for consideration. He’s one of my favorite ever players but I just don’t think he is Chelsea manager level still. He’s at the perfect sort of club right now. We’ve tried the experiment a couple of times now and it hasn’t worked out.

FRANK LAMPARD TO BECOME NEW Chelsea MANAGER? | Chelsea'S NEXT MANAGER George Benson Football Chelsea Chelsea news today see's us break down the latest Chelsea news headlines regarding who will become the next permanent Chelsea manager. Cesc Fabregas, Andoni Iraola and Frank Lampard are currently rumored favorites to become next Chelsea manager! Who would you want to be the next Chelsea manager?

Wont sign players with PL experience so instead scraping the barrel for managers with PL experience. Saying that he’d of been a better appointment than Potter & Rosenoir. And be better than some of the names linked but again, mediocre. True but I think the ambition & progress at Como is more realistic as well as achievable. Plus he will have plenty of options I would think. The point I was more making is the job here will not be as attractive or difficult to get, the calibre of managers we have appointed since BlueCo came in has fallen considerably from the level we were previously appointing. The frequency we are appointing them too, it will be alarming for any candidates being considered. Given how these are running the club, the trajectory, continued poor recruitment, potential financial situation etc, they will probably keep feeding head coaches to the wolves whilst the sporting directors will never be held accountable. They are one of the biggest problems at the club: they have completely bluffed their way into this se roles and the owners are blindsided/deluded/too stupid to see they are not cut out for it. Serious managers will not want to work with them/within this model.

You missed out Gary O'Neil

Marco Silva Howe McKenna ^ Thats the true list.

Make it so

On the one hand it’s obviously smart to wait until after the season to assess more options. But on the other you risk having unexpected competition for your main choices if some other huge jobs suddenly come open. If United decide they don’t want to keep Carrick. If Arse complete the meltdown and finish 2nd for the 4th straight season will Arteta be safe? They may feel he’s taken them as far as he can. Pep could leave City. Slot doesn’t exactly feel like a complete lock in his position.
