Despite sacking him after just less that four months being here, Chelsea still back those who hired Liam Rosenior.
Isn’t that absolute madness? They are going through managers like there is no tomorrow, yet they are not holding those accountable who are actually hiring these managers – the sporting directors.

They never seem to get any blame from the ownership through their media briefings, it always goes back to the many managers they have turfed through in their fours years in charge at this club.
But Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, the ones who pick the managers and have built this weak squad, get let off scot free.
It makes absolutely zero sense to me.

According to a report from The Guardian yesterday, there is still backing for the club’s five sporting directors, Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart, Sam Jewell, Joe Shields and Dave Fallows.
Can you imagine being SO bad at your job yet your manager says nothing at all and just keeps backing you? Would never happen, right? It’s pure madness and delusion.
There are expected to be between five to ten candidates to become Chelsea’s next manager with there admiration for Cesc Fabregas according to reports that came out yesterday.
Liam Rosenior’s fallout with certain groups in the Chelsea dressing room was apparently key to his downfall, and it was apparently the Spanish speaking players who disliked him the most.
