Iraola is probably the safest or most sensible of the early names we’re seeing. Did fantastically with limited resources at a tiny club and punched far above his weight. Plays attractive football whilst also getting his teams to do the hard running. From his perspective though we’d be a bit of a weird choice. He’ll probably have numerous offers from much more stable, well run clubs.

Only way things turn around for us is if these owners make a serious managerial appointment and take a completely hands off approach in football decisions. Let the manager and football people do the work.

We know we won’t be getting a top class, big name manager. That goes without saying in the situation this club is in. But we should still at least be targeting someone who instantly commands respect from both the players and the fanbase. If we once again pluck somebody from a small club with zero big club or high level experience then there will rightly be a fan revolt and this club may never play UCL football again.

Shocked I haven’t woken up to a Comunicado Oficial. Imagine how fucking toxic shit will get if Rosenior is in charge at Wembley and loses to Leeds of all clubs.

I don’t see how he can be in the dugout for Leeds.

I legit feel bad for the guy. Came here with a humble attitude, seems like a genuinely nice person, never bigged himself up and acted like he was here on merit or acted arrogant. I’m sure for a certain profile of club he’d be a solid manager still. His issue is that he was/is woefully unqualified for this job and 100% of the blame needs to be placed in the owners. They’ve killed this club and now that they’re going to HAVE to sack their handpicked puppet Rosenior, it’s going to make convincing any new manager worth a damn even tougher.

I’m saying will THEY be looking at these kinds of guys. I personally wouldn’t want Stones here but would I be shocked if our directors are thinking to themselves “hey, they asked us for more PL proven and experienced players!”

Bernardo Silva & John Stones both confirmed leaving on free’s this summer. Both only 31 I believe. With our directors straight up coming out and saying that they’ll target proven, experienced players with PL experience it’d be weird if we don’t at least call these two, right? Even if they’re just super short term deals to bridge the gap until our current young guys are properly ready.

Said this a week or two ago, but I think they’re desperately hoping that results don’t continue like this the rest of the way because they want to keep him badly. They don’t want the embarrassment of having to sack their hand picked puppet who they had planned to become Chelsea manager ages ago. Probably before they even appointed Maresca they were eyeing Rosenior for this job. So if we win just a couple of the remaining PL matches and beat Leeds to reach the FA Cup final they’ll almost 100% keep him even with no UCL football. But if we get smoked by Brighton I think it’s 50/50 whether he stays or goes. That many horrific losses on the bounce SHOULD cost anyone their job at a club like this.

Really don’t see how he survives if we lose to Brighton. It’s a dead, meaningless game anyways because UCL qualification is done, but if we get beaten without scoring yet again I think his position will be untenable. If the players aren’t responding to you for like 5-6 straight games where you get beaten easily then why is he in the job? It’s pointless sacking him so close to the end of the season but it’s simultaneously pointless keeping him.

Oh, I’m sure he 100% has ambitions to manage us in the future. I’m saying he’s probably smart enough to stay away for the time being and build his CV more. He won’t want to jump in to a hopeless situation where he’s set up to fail.

Could you even imagine either of these two trying to work with the shit show upstairs? 😂😂😂 Much as I’d love Conte back he’d literally murder these guys if they tried some of the stuff they pull.

Cesc strikes me as someone smart enough to have watched some of the managers we’ve burned through and realize that jumping straight from a small club to the Chelsea hot seat is a terrible idea. I think he’ll take a stepping stone sort of job at a decent sized club first and if he continues to look good he’ll then be looking at the top ones.

Exactly. Club is dead. They’ve taken a golden ticket cleared of debts and coming off of a UCL win and smothered it to death. No plan to improve or move stadiums, no permanent shirt sponsor after 4 fucking years, filled our squad with a shit load of bang average players who are nowhere near traditional Chelsea level having spent BILLIONS, churned through unqualified manager after unqualified manager. Immediately fell out with the one world class coach who was employed during their time here. And now saddled us with massive financial worries entering the summer when we need yet another big overhaul. This is one of the biggest destructions of a massive sports club/franchise ever. It’s criminal.

It used to be we may be able to go to some other big club and entice their top class manager to come manage Chelsea. Who the fuck could we even entice this summer? What top level manager would dare come to Chelsea under this ownership? When Rosenior goes they’ll have churned through hand picked puppet after hand picked puppet who were all supposedly chosen because they were “ideal fits” in their structure. If even these guys couldn’t work under this lot, why would an established world class coach want to? This is the most depressing thing about our outlook. There is no real optimism that next season will be any different. Short of the owners calling up Klopp and offering him £20m per season salary + full control over transfers, there is no fix for this. And Klopp would probably still not even entertain that offer with these clowns.

He’s extremely lucky that sacking him now would be totally pointless because out season is effectively over.

Just checked Twitter and saw the final score. At home. Massive must win game. Against United with THAT back line. And we don’t even score a single goal. Now 10 points behind this bang average Man United side. A United side we ourselves were miles ahead of earlier this season. Seriously, how could this clown show ownership possibly justify keeping Rosenior for next season? Just how?

Pretty definitive from Palmer there. Now we just wait and hope he returns to his best level next season. Going to yet another summer tournament won’t help, though…

United coming off a poor loss and down to a skeleton crew across their defense. In true Chelsea fashion recently I’m sure we can predict what will happen. Thankfully, I won’t be watching.

Yep, these quotes from Eghbali are absolutely some desperate PR meant to buy them some more time with the fans in hopes that dangling more transfer news will calm the supporters. We’ve now been hearing the same “just be patient, we’re building somehting special” shit for years now and things have only gotten worse.

Never rated Garnacho and still really don’t think he’s starting caliber. But even I would keep him before I’d keep Gittens. Garnacho in a better functioning team can at least be a solid contributor off the bench and with the occasional start. Gittens looks Mudryk level useless and terrified on the pitch.

Van Hecke makes some sense as he’s genuinely been impressive and doing it in the PL in a position that’s really difficult. And he’s at least the right age profile. If he is one of 2 new CB’s we bring in I’d be fine with him. Alex Scott would be the same sort of silly signing we’ve been making. Hoping to be the smartest guys in the room who take a punt on a risky player rather than going for the sure thing like our rivals do.

I’m fine with us targeting experienced players already doing well in the PL, but that’s assuming we target the BEST players in the league outside of the big boys like United and City did with Mbeumo, Cunha, Semenyo, and Guehi. Guys who were massively outperforming thekr small teams. Guys who you look at with a degree of certainty that they’ll look even better once in a bigger team. Elliot Anderson for example. But our dreadful season and the mess throughout the club has surely ruled us out as even a consideration for him. Guys like Alex Scott and the kid from Wolves look like nice talents but don’t scream sure fire hits at all. They’re yet more huge gambles which we can’t afford.

I feel like being a calm, composed, super comfortable on the ball CB is what should be pursued more than anything. Going after “physical/powerful” CB’s is what led us to buying dogshit like Tosin, Badiashile, Disasi, etc. And talking about buying someone to partner Colwill when we don’t even have any idea what he’ll be like is silly, too. For me we need a clear out and TWO new CB’s of a high level.

You already hear the transfer briefings being laundered through the puppet Rosenior. He said again after the match today something like “we already know what we want to do and you guys just need to wait and see.” That’s clearly what the owners are telling themselves right now. Just wait til summer and we’ll fix this with our puppet still in the job.
