It’s makes you think when the last 2 permanent managers Chelsea have appointed have actually quit…

When I posted a few weeks ago that the club no longer embodies any of the values most decent people have, this is the sort of thing I had in mind. Wow.

the cut. this is easily the most I've laughed at anything all year

They came into a debt free club with a completely blank slate and within 4 years they’ve managed to break the record for highest loss in the history of football. Actually think about that for a second. That is absolutely incredible.

The last line…. No. He actually should.

@CFCParee Ollie Harrison?

@TheRealALM That was the 4-4-3 Todd Boehly was talking about a couple years ago

Again, if Al Ittihad are open to him moving now, I would commit felonies to have him for 6 months

K!net!c academy is a hotbed of... talent! Many new, fresh faces leading the Chelsea academy have roots here, or have left & worked with each other, that’s normal in many industries! This video presents publicly available career information and does not allege any misconduct.

I’m French so my situational / cultural opinion is worth more as a matter of fact. France has a complex relation to competence from overseas. No matter who you are, you’ll be questioned from an administrative (Tuchel had to do a 3 day crash course to update his diplomas) or personality standpoint. Ancelotti gave up, Emery was hounded out. France as a collective is absolutely brutal with their own glories (Laurent Blanc), but can also fall in love with Bielsa (Marseille). And it’s not just “you lost a game, you don’t know what you’re doing” but brutal character assassination empowered by the total absence of press libel laws, and writer’s emphasis on double entendre. They’ll attack you on angles that other countries legally don’t allow. The elephant in the room : Rosenior is from Sierra-Leone descent. There hasn’t been any instance (that I am aware of) of racism, or racist undertones. And then again, France has a grey area or window trivialising the boundary between “banter” and “offensive” that’s extremely wide. Rosenior hasn’t got to “do more” to avoid it. In any case, whether he was out of his depth (like Patrick Kisnorbo was at Man City’s partner club was) or highly competent (Vieira finishing in European places for Nice with 38 goals scored) – there’s no place for it. But I also believe that Rosenior’s demeanour, honesty, natural way of speaking facts and not gaslight the fans based on what they see is what made people stand their positions and not turn against him. The majority acknowledge he’s an employee who does his job honestly and fairly.

First of all, get the f-ck out of my club.

Enzo Maresca and Mauricio Pochettino were partially chosen by Chelsea because of their ability to work within a structure. If they're both falling out with you and growing fed up, the problem probably isn't just them!

What does it say when the “perfect project manager” according to the people who hired him has trouble with the exact project he was deemed perfect for?

Press is dead because no midfield subs until Andrey 87' every game. Almost scandalous how little he's played.

So he passed 1500 mins last night. Some simple production numbers + comparables (all via fbref): George: 12G+A in 1527 (127 mins per contrib) Neto: 19G+A in 4182 (220) Estêvão: 4G+A in 539 (135) Gittens: 3G+A in 500 (167) Madueke: 26G+A in 4868 (187) Mudryk: 16G+A in 3484 (217)

I thought the Ange appointment made less sense when it was done given how different stylistically he was to Nuno and the risk in his approach but those weren’t unforeseeable issues. Sacking Ange knowing how he coaches after this short a time still feels harsh because you presumably hire him knowing that’s how he plays and that it’ll take time to work. It even took time for Celtic to get to grips with his approach before it looked good. And I know his points tally was poor but I thought he did some things better than I expected. Surprisingly showed an adaptation in system and style to something slightly in between what he inherited and what he wanted to achieve, rather than sticking to the final system from the start. Lots of the games were played a lot better than the result showed too, including some of what we saw today. There’s other coaches more suited to getting the better out of this Forest squad more quickly but again this felt fairly obvious back when he joined, which is why the sacking so soon after feels a bit uncomfortable. Probably the right decision (only because they should’ve probably picked someone else first) but really feel for Ange. A losing situation and not sure there’s much else he could’ve done to be honest.

@DimitriPeppas_ Some squad bloody hell

2002 South Australian State Team

Help make the world a better place by unfollowing big Chelsea accounts who gain clout and then sell out and start advertising for betting companies.

Potential 49th game for Milner v #CFC tomorrow. Hato, Acheampong, Santos, Garnacho, George, Gittens, Esteavo and Giuiu among the Chelsea players who could feature who weren't born when Milner 1st played v Chelsea in 2002, Cole Palmer was 7 months old

Had he moved to a Genk, Lille, Eintracht Frankfurt or Atalanta instead of Chelsea, we think Datro Fofana would be one of the most sought-after forwards on the market this summer. That is why Chelsea undercut those clubs, but you have to then develop the player like those clubs.
