I think removing the fact that he's a friend of mine, he's somebody that I've worked with as a coach and as a player and I've known him for 20 years.
So remove that.
You're looking at Blueco Group that had him in situ at Strasbourg.
They'd had day-to-day conversations with him, knew what he was all about and chose to put him in what we think is the poison chalice of Chelsea Football Club.
So they put him there.
Started off okay, you know, only losing to Arsenal, and then has gone on this horrific run recently that we can't defend.
So my thoughts are on Blueco.
Is it Liam's fault or is it theirs?
I think they put him in situ for this job that may have been too early for him, and that was their decision.
But the other side of it is, in history of Chelsea Football Club since the turn of the century when they've been winning things,
If you go six, because including the PSG game as well, if you go six games out of the last seven with the one being against Port Vale where they won 7-0 without scoring or winning the game and you lost all of those six games, any other Chelsea manager would have been sacked.
So, yeah, real shame for Liam.
And ultimately, what's next for Chelsea?
Because when we speak about Liam going, yeah, it's all good.
Get rid of the manager.
But what is next?
Because the Chelsea of old could get Ancelotti back.
could get Mourinho, could get the best of the best.
Because unless, you know, if you want a payday, it's good to go Chelsea and maybe get sacked.
