Among the names being spoken about most confidently behind the scenes is Liam Rosenior, currently impressing at Strasbourg, a club that forms part of the BlueCo ownership group, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Rosenior is viewed by many insiders as the natural heir within the wider Chelsea ecosystem. His familiarity with BlueCo's operational model, recruitment philosophy, and governance structure places him in a strong position should the need for continuity arise.
In my opinion, I've always maintained both publicly and privately that Atlanta would likely stay in-house when it came to their next manager. The cynic in me figured that the writing was on the wall when Fredi González returned to the fold as the "new" third base coach for the Braves earlier this season. Even if it wasn't Fredi, Walt Weiss is here as well and while he's never sat in the big chair for the Braves, he has had that experience with the Rockies.
He's not gonna be at Palace. He's got a year left. I'd be gobsmacked. I hope he is and I hope I'm wrong. But given the fact he's barely been backed, given the fact it's going to be very difficult for him to replicate what he achieved last year, it is a distinct possibility he's going to be on his way from Palace.
