"He's a super smart guy, but the one thing I can't work out about Chelsea is what sort of club are they? What are they actually trying to achieve? Are they trying to win? They'll say of course we're trying to win but you always felt, whether you like the Roman Abramovich era or not, that they were always going to compete or contest."
"From the recent ownership of Chelsea, you've had Mauricio Pochettino, Frank Lampard, Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel, not bad managers. Pretty top-line managers who have a lot of experience. Liam Rosenior is going to come in with limited experience knowing that if he doesn't do well he's for the chop. Why not do it? The other thing you remember is maybe we are in a changing world right now in football, and the organisations that own and run football clubs, want a level of control"
Liam Rosenior signed a six-and-a-half-year contract to become Chelsea head coach, replacing Enzo Maresca. Rosenior is 41 and his coaching record includes a seventh-place finish in the Championship with Hull City and seventh in Ligue 1 with Strasbourg. BlueCo, which owns both Chelsea and Strasbourg, made the appointment. Chris Sutton questioned the decision and raised concerns that the hire signals reduced competitive ambition under the new ownership. Pat Nevin supported the move, citing Rosenior's knowledge of the owners and suggesting modern club owners may prefer greater control and occasionally back less experienced managers.
