But also, it's Chelsea.
You know, the opportunity to go to the Premier League, to go to a massive club, go and manage in the Champions League.
They don't come around too often.
So I think sometimes you can always, you know, fall from the tree a little bit easier from Chelsea than, you know, if it doesn't go well at Strasbourg, where do you go after that?

Knowing laugh.
What's your reaction to the news today?
Alex, when, obviously, they appointed Liam, he got off to what I would consider a decent start, having only lost to Arsenal, who at the time were considered probably the best team in Europe or the best team in the world, shall we say.
Do you feel, even at that time, there was kind of... And listen, we're in the media here, up at the BBC, but do you feel it was like waiting for him to fail, always trying to pick on every little thing he said wrong or every little quotable kind of...
nerdy thing that he said that like I said to Ali Bruce Ball.
Do you feel like he was just made a meme?
He was kind of, I guess, asked disrespectful questions that they would never ask Pep Guardiola's, Jose Mourinho's.
And from there, obviously, once they start losing, it looks a lot worse when these quotes are now coming out again.

Five Live Sport comes from Wembley on Sunday.
That is Chelsea against Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final.
