About as successful as he could have been working under the clowns running that club. Spending billions on dross on long contracts and don't even have a shirt sponsor. Maresca pulled in north of 170m for them by getting CL back and winning the CWC. Was always going to be a tough season this year.

Why would the directors Risk the project through a Championship type manager ?

Sounds absolutely ludicrous. Surly it couldn’t happen?

He’d definitely be a manager half the team had never heard of. I know he did a lot at Derby alongside Rooney, especially most training sessions, but this would be a huge punt that doesn’t need taking.

The consortium who own Chelsea also own Strasbourg so maybe that is the link…….Hull parted ways with Rosenior because his style of football lacked attack and the club wanted to see offensive football so perhaps it will be like another Mourinho…….

Hopefully Rosenior gets the job. A guy who got sacked by Hull.  I think it would be a disastrous appointment for Chelsea.

Few stories doing the rounds that he's spoken to City twice recently about becoming their next manager and when and had also spoken to Juve and disclosed all to Chelsea, as obliged under his contract. Chelsea not extending his contract saw him have a look around.

With 20 Chelsea managers in the last 15 years, wonder what the odds of Rosenior lasting 6 1/2 years are?

Probably about 5000/1

Should be about 18 managers because Hiddink and Lampard had two goes

It's got nothing to do with whether he's qualified or not, that's got nothing to do with it, the more qualified you are the more unsuitable you'd be from a Chelsea heirarchy point of view, they don't want someone with a long record of success because along with that comes someone with their own opinion.

They want a basic coach who can do a fair to middling job that has Chelsea in and around the top end with the odd bit of success here and there, they give young players long contracts on lower wages and if any of their players developed they'd sell them on.

The problem comes if the manager changes from just being happy to be there to actually wanting to move the goalposts into demanding to be heard themselves usually after experiencing success where they think they have become entitled to a voice...it doesn't!!!

He’s a head coach rather than a manager isn’t he
He’s given the players to coach that’s his role

You can’t run a squad of players like Chelsea’s by being a nice guy, hugging all your players as if they are your best mates, all lovey-dovey like.  If that’s innovation then it is for the birds.  Coaches should coach, managers and their assistants should manage.
A SIX year contract for a nobody!?
You have to laught.
Maresco joins an ever growing club of managers sacked less than a year after winning major trophies for their clubs.  The game has been basstarrdised out of all reason and recognition by TV and the hideous revenue it generates for football.

length of contract doresnt really matter
for example
6 x 40,000 a week

3 x 80 grand a week
1 x 240,000 a week

its only the pay off amount/contract paid up that counts

maresca still had 4 yrs left but tried to use his cup success for a contract extention,not because he thought he,df still be there but beause he new he could be gone tomorrow,but justy secure his future a bit more

If they’re all on six year contracts it makes a huge difference.
By:

When: 07 Jan 26 12:12
Just because he's getting 6 years doesn't mean they will have to pay him the full remaining if they sack him early. I'd imagine Chelsea of all clubs have very limited pay-off clauses in their manager contracts.

Fair enough but it will still be a very respectable sum and is a ridiculous term for a person of such low repute.  As the enlightened on here have suggested already he is clearly the option which give the stringpullers the most control.

Chelsea new boy, probably on the instruction of someone else, drops Reece James!  Doesn’t make sense.  The guy’s having a very good season.
