Vincent 403 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Over the last couple of years, we’ve lost our entire identity to outsiders. The last time it truly felt like our Chelsea was during the transfer ban, when Frank Lampard was head coach. I don’t think we’ll ever be what we once were, and maybe that’s inevitable given everything that’s been going on for decades. But right now, the club feels very soulless. I would much rather see a head coach who is steady, maybe not the most brilliant or innovative, but likeable and someone who is willing to get back to basics and rebuild a clear identity, because at the moment, this club is a house of cards.

mkh 754 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 💥💣Chelsea believes the next appointment will be very important to impact some of the players who were not happy with Liam Rosenior. The Chelsea job is still very appealing to several important managers. Chelsea will not change their view, still trusting young players and developing talent. But at the same time, they want to add some experienced players. (@FabrizioRomano) bigbluewillie and Fernando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,075 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Reaction as Chelsea sack Rosenior after five successive defeats https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/cn9qw01ex8nt Team news dropping soonpublished at 18:43 BST 18:43 BST Image source,Getty Images Don't forget, we've got two big games coming up at 20:00 BST. Team news will be dropping in the next few moments from Turf Moor, where Manchester City will replace Arsenal at the top of the table if they win and relegate Burnley. And Leeds United, who play Chelsea next in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday, are at Bournemouth, who are still in the hunt for Europe. 'It means the world to me'published at 18:41 BST 18:41 BST Image source,Reuters Quote Message To be entrusted with this role means the world to me. I cannot turn down this opportunity to join an incredible club, incredible squad who are Club World Cup champions. I will love this club [Strasbourg] for the rest of my life, but I cannot turn down Chelsea." Liam Rosenior on 6 January after leaving Strasbourg to take over at Chelsea 26 7 Share get involved Get Involved: Chelsea sack Rosenior - your reactionpublished at 18:39 BST 18:39 BST Click 'Get Involved' at the top of the page Image source,Getty Images Daz R Taylor: They take Rosenior from Strasbourg, whose fans wanted him to stay, and boot him out four months later. Nice pay-off. Rather than sack managers every few months, why not look at the players? 213 10 Share 'Rosenior was not the biggest problem at Chelsea'published at 18:37 BST 18:37 BST BBC Radio 5 Live Chelsea fan Teema Nicholls reacting to news of Liam Rosenior's sacking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "He had to go. He couldn't have stayed, but Liam Rosenior was not and is not the biggest problem at Chelsea. "Those that appointed him and other managers have also got to face serious questions and the sack as well. "I think they put him in an unfair position and we as a football club are now facing consequences. Whoever is appointed next is a huge appointment. I don't think the ones that appointed Rosenior can be part of that decision-making." 144 12 Share What have the fans been thinking?published at 18:35 BST 18:35 BST Image source,Getty Images Supporters, like the players, have expressed differing views, but the widespread anger among the fanbase has been largely directed at the club's American owners. A growing but still fringe protest movement, Not A Project CFC, attracted more than 500 fans who marched to Stamford Bridge before Saturday's defeat by Manchester United. It harked back to the end of last season, when chanting against the ownership began. Chelsea Supporters' Trust has also written an open letter to the club highlighting its concerns. A further fans' forum meeting is scheduled to take place this week. Rosenior was drawn into the anger, with expletive-laden chants directed towards him from the away end. His predecessors, Maresca and Mauricio Pochettino, also faced similar treatment, but not so early in their tenures. 23 15 Share Players' frustrationspublished at 18:33 BST 18:33 BST Image source,Getty Images Liam Rosenior had become a point of frustration, according to multiple figures close to Chelsea players. The extent of that frustration varied. Some described him as a friendly character who means well, while others enjoyed working with him at his previous club, Strasbourg, part of the same BlueCo ownership group. Others, notably several Spanish-speaking players, are understood to have preferred working under Maresca. That was reflected in interviews given by Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez. Decisions to rotate goalkeepers and limit minutes for certain players, including Josh Acheampong, who often features briefly from the bench, have caused some discontent. Perhaps most concerning is the atmosphere within the leadership group. One source inside Chelsea said senior players are often quiet when invited to give their views during near-daily team meetings. 15 30 Share get involved Get Involved: Chelsea sack Rosenior - your reactionpublished at 18:30 BST 18:30 BST Image source,Getty Images Iain Franklin: Ridiculous club, if you sign a young manager on a long term contract at least give them a season to get a grip on the squad. Toxic club with toxic owners. 495 45 Share Rosenior's last Match of the Day interviewpublished at 18:27 BST 18:27 BST 02:34 Media caption, Rosenior's last post-match interview as Chelsea head coach In Liam Rosenior's last post-match Match of the Day interview as Chelsea head coach, he said "I can't defend that performance" after Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Brighton. 55 7 Share No goals in five defeats - Rosenior leads Chelsea to worst run since 1912published at 18:25 BST 18:25 BST Image source,Getty Images Liam Rosenior had overseen a run of five consecutive defeats, during which time his Chelsea side had failed to score a single goal. It was the club's worst run of defeats without scoring since 1912 - the year that Titanic sank. Chelsea's owners acted after the Blues' were completely outplayed in a 3-0 loss at Brighton on Tuesday, when they failed to muster a shot on target and finished with an xG of 0.4. 53 8 Share 'Comical scenes'published at 18:23 BST 18:23 BST Nizaar Kinsella BBC Sport Chelsea reporter Image source,Getty Images Liam Rosenior’s four-month reign at Chelsea will be remembered for an emphasis on “respecting the ball” and for his defence of the pre-match huddle that saw his starting XI encircle referee Paul Tierney. The comical scenes before a defeat by Newcastle summed up the unfortunate ridicule faced by the 41-year-old from supporters during his first Premier League job. But it also marked the point at which a downturn in form began, one that would eventually lead to his downfall. A five-game losing run without a goal culminated in a 3-0 defeat away at Brighton. Poor as the performance was, it forced the hand of the sporting directors, who met on Wednesday morning and decided to part company with their latest appointment. 82 14 Share get involved Get Involvedpublished at 18:20 BST 18:20 BST Use 'Get involved' to have your say Surely he should've been given more than 106 days? I think that this is appalling. Chris, Hull Would any other manager have done better considering the situation he was thrown into? Maresca leaves for challenging owners, Rosenoir leaves for challenging players’ attitudes. Players on eight year contracts… Omar, UAE You can't help but feel sorry for Rosenior. He couldn't say no that job, but he clearly wasn't ready for that job, and that lies squarely on the Chelsea board for not doing a proper search and going straight for him. Hope it doesn't ruin his career Ryan, Birmingham 592 58 Share Rosenior's Chelsea statspublished at 18:18 BST 18:18 BST 55 15 Share Sacking seasonpublished at 18:15 BST 18:15 BST Image source,Getty Images Liam Rosenior's sacking is the tenth managerial change in the Premier League since the start of the season. 08 September: Nottingham Forest sack Nuno Espirito Santo. 27 September: West Ham sack Graham Potter. 18 October: Nottingham Forest sack Ange Postecoglou. 02 November: Wolves sack Vitor Pereira. 01 January: Enzo Maresca leaves Chelsea. 05 January: Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim. 11 February: Tottenham sack Thomas Frank. 12 February: Nottingham Forest sack Sean Dyche. 29 March: Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham. 22 April: Chelsea sack Liam Rosenior. 102 35 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
