While there isn't much to talk about concerning Liverpool while the internationals are on. That Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior seems a very weird cat, doesn't he? He has come out with some riddles lately, when the players was respecting the ball bfr kick off n a few other bits of strange.
Now 2 Chelsea players seem to have said similar things about moving clubs while on international duty, but one is suspended n the other one allowed to play, but he had 2 great chats with both.

I'm still at a loss how he even got the Chelsea job. Don't get me wrong, I hope they don't get rid of him any time soon.
04 Apr 2026 00:43:35
IR.. I hope they give him a 5 year contract.
04 Apr 2026 00:52:04
Strom, that'd be shorter than the 6 year contract he does have.
04 Apr 2026 06:01:53
SR, I thought he was only temp... 6 year contract, how on earth did he manage to get that.
04 Apr 2026 07:15:28
That is a temporary contract for Chelsea.
Most of their new signings get 15 year contracts.

Which is why they're still stuck with Mudryk till 2032. Like, bro could get banned for 4yrs, make a return to football and still have 2yrs left on his contract. It's crazy!

And that's where Pep is miles apart. Look how he is handling the Rodri and Foden situations, then look at Rosenior...
Just as we are asking for Chelsea to give him another 6 years, they are probably saying the same about Slot.

Ed1, is Rosenior a temporary manager for Chelsea? Or a permanent one? Some saying he sign 5/6 years contract? I always thought he is a temporary manager until they go after someone like Iraola, Hoeness, Alonso or anyone else with better pedigree in the summer.
{Ed001's Note - his contract runs until 2032, not sure even Chelsea would call that temporary. The Chelsea fans were astonished at him being brought in on such a long term contract.}

Is there some sort of cooking of the books going on at Chelsea Ed? I can think of no sane reason to give Rosenior such a long contract?
{Ed001's Note - they are just badly run by clueless sporting executives trying to follow a business plan with no idea of how it translates to this industry.}

It's gross incompetence and negligence to have that sort of spending power and f*** it up/squander it so badly.
I'm equal measures staggered and absolutely delighted!

He's basically an I.T. consultant. The man loves a spread sheet.

Cooking of the books COTG?
Im no finance guy, but they have just reported the biggest pre-tax loss of any PL team ever....
Since there is no ladies team to sell to themselves, or some fancy hotel to sell to themselves, these financial results speak volumes. Just imagine if they didn't sell those entities to themselves last year!!!!
Their business model is to buy the best young talent, and then sell them in for a massive profit.
I always thought that they were quite well off as a result of that model, but clearly not.
Like I said, im no finance guy, so maybe my understanding is way off.

JLC, I was more meaning there's surely some sort of financial loophole they're striving for by offering such a long contract to Rosenior (I'm not saying there is, just scratching my head on the thought process).
If there isn't, it's the most brain dead decision I've probably ever seen when hiring a manager. Hiring him in the first place was bold. But giving him a 6 year deal is ludicrous.

Clearly he got the job because he's just a yes man for Blueco. I'm certain it wasn't his decision to ban Fernandez for the next two games, it was a mandate handed to him from above because they felt like they have to do something (though why they didn't punish Cucurella for saying something much more serious, asking not once but twice why Maresca was fired, and indicating his disagreement).
Rosenior just seems really weak and out of his depth. He said all that stuff about respecting the ball because he wanted to curry favour with the players.
It just feels like the players don't respect him and the press don't respect him. Blueco just expect him to follow their misguided orders (Maresca didn't, which was why he had to walk), and he's desperate to impress because he got a shortcut to one of the biggest jobs in world football, but he has been afforded no room at all to impose himself in any way, and the players don't take him seriously because of his nonexistent stature in the game anyway. It's just a disaster.
