| ABSOLUTE JOKE! 12:56 - Apr 22 with 10064 views | Marshy67 | So Liam Rosenior given a 5 year contract back in January is sacked after 4 months. Chels have to cough up £24 million to pay him off!!!! How many managers last 5 years? Bonkers, and it really sums up that mob in SW6 Then you get Jason Cundy on Talksport saying he couldn't think of a worse Chels performance. So where was he on 31 March 1986? Of course Chels were just an ordinary Division 1 team with the chairman talking about putting up electrified fences around the pitch. Many home games attracting attendances under 20000. 12000 for the final home game v Watford. Yes we moan and groan cus and curse about Rangers performances and we are not World Champions (!) but I'm so glad my old man took me to the Bush on 1 October 1966 and not to SW6. The Rangers.MY TEAM and proud of it. |  | | |  |

| ABSOLUTE JOKE! on 18:13 - Apr 22 by Juzzie | As hilarious as it is, it’s not just a Chelsea thing. A few defeats and you’re out. It’s ridiculous. I don’t blame the managers, lovely pay off. I’d take that. Yet ticket prices, merchandise, tv subscriptions will just keep going up to cover it and people will keep paying like sheep. |

| ABSOLUTE JOKE! on 19:30 - Apr 22 with 2377 views | 7374Ranger | I said to friends when they appointed him that I was amazed at his 6 year contract as the managers/head coaches are usually sacked within 2 years. I added it will be a very healthy payoff for him when he leaves. Did the owners ever see the 'how not to run a football club' items that went out about QPR? |  | |  |

| ABSOLUTE JOKE! on 19:36 - Apr 22 with 2348 views | Juzzie | I think he’d only get the full £24m if he doesn’t work again for the duration of the contract. If he takes up another job then the payments stop. Let’s say he doesn’t work again (I wouldn’t) that would work out at £2m a week for the time he was there |  | |  |

Kind of like alimony so? On the plus side for Rosenior ( apart from all that dosh) he said in his post - match interview that he never wanted to see a performance like that again - he got his wish. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Will they sell the women's team again to help pay for it? |  | |  |
| ABSOLUTE JOKE! on 09:16 - Apr 23 with 1727 views | KensalT | Good article tearing into Chelsea's failings (what's not to like!) https://www.theguardian.com/fo I was particularly struck by these points: - Young players need some wise old heads in the mix for guidance - Players don't respond well to managerial churn - Don't like the "LinkedIn vibe" - Defensively wide open - Muscle injuries piling up This could almost have been written about us |  | |  |
| ABSOLUTE JOKE! on 10:20 - Apr 23 with 1633 views | bosh67 | I think Rosenior was always on a hiding to nothing because on day one it was clear the players were like, who the f*ck is this guy? He also spoke bollox very calmly which was very confusing and threw his players under the bus (probably quite rightly) which of course made them effectively down tools. Not that Rosenior cares. He's just made enough money to retire if he likes courtesy of Chelsea's bizarre accountancy and financing system. Chelsea is a poison chalice now. You half think that Todd Boehly should probably do what he's always threatened and run it himself. Then sack himself for a Billion dollar compensation fee. I know they are our arch rivals but the fans there must be doing their nut. It's an absolute car crash of a club now if you are a fan. |  |

If this is true, can someone explain how you sign a multi year contract but only get one years money, if you are sacked? |  | |  |

If they put it in the contract and he signed it, I guess it's legally binding. Even if it's "only" circa £5m, he won't starve. Not bad for three months work (plus the 3 months salary). |  | |  |
