Rosenior gone. Not a massive surprise. As I’ve said all along, I genuinely feel sorry for the guy. Hopefully he finds his place in football again and can develop his career a bit more organically. Or he can just enjoy life with £24m in the bank. Did I say I feel sorry for him?

Hopefully it’s not the SD’s completing the period of self-reflection and they’re the ones being reflected upon.

Interestingly, Winstanley and Stewart have been removed from their roles at Strasbourg - beginning of the end? Winstanley was linked with the Spurs sporting director role. He was apparently interested but wanted total control. Watch this space.

There was a break clause, I can safely feel sorry for him again.

He was never going to receive the full 6 year payout, but he will still get a healthy payout, id imagine. Lighting money on fire.

1 year Standard, not bad for a few months' poor work.

A source close to a senior Chelsea player says there are clear divisions within the dressing room.

Some players are focused purely on the club's success, while others are still frustrated by Enzo Maresca's departure and believe more should have stood against it.

Different perspectives internally, with unity not fully there.

The bottom line was they wanted change.



Apparently, there was a break clause and LR will draw a salary for a max of 12 months from his appointment, and that will stop if he gets a new role on the same money.

The headline figures of large payouts are very wide of the mark and designed to capture the thoughts of the slightly less intelligent.
