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 and you can see it from their point of view. Why not? They’re paying the money. But, as soon as the manager does well and as soon as he put his head above the parapet, we are now seeing what happens.
Maybe Rosenior coming in from inside the Chelsea family from Strasbourg, maybe he gets the gig. Maybe he understands the deal. And if that’s the case and he’s willing to work under those conditions for the longer terms, he will survive as long as he is successful.
