So that was a misstep.
Yeah, that's how much is going to be in that contract.
But Chelsea, this is nothing new for them.
They have part of the company with managers who have looked like bad hires in the first place.
This looked like a terrible hire from very early days.
You can maybe to some degree, if you're really looking at this in a glass half full way, applaud them for taking a chance on a young manager who was from within the same company in Blueco.
He was working with Strasbourg.
He was, you know, an emotionally intelligent type, a LinkedIn type to some.
And maybe that just still does not wash in a modern dressing room.
But I think the jargon that he ended up uttering on many occasions, I think that that sort of view of him actually permeated the dressing room and maybe he lost the respect of his players as well.
He will.
They can.
They haven't beaten France since 2017 is the only thing, but they've been getting closer.
It was only 12 points of a loss in the Six Nations last year, albeit at home.
And then there was that game in the World Cup where France won by five points.
It was a really awful day.
If you go back to the weather, I don't know what the forecast is like down in Claremont this weekend, but I suspect it's going to be just as nice as it is here.
The thing that really helped Ireland in that World Cup
game last year was that it was an awful day there was a gale force win something like you'd see in Salt Hill in the National League afternoon and Ireland really benefited from that particularly in the first half of that game so I'm just a little bit concerned of getting carried away with that performance in the World Cup last year because it was a freakish set of circumstances
That being said, there is no question that they are getting closer to this French team.
