But it still remains that when there was a protest before the last Chelsea home game against United, I think it was, you had a lot of Strasbourg fans who made the point and thought it was important to come over from France to London to march with the Chelsea fans against Bluco.
That's how deep...
the resentment is towards them and this idea of this multi-club ownership where basically Strasbourg is the feeder club to Chelsea, which they have never accepted.
So from the good things that Blueco have done in Strasbourg, which is investing a lot of money in some really good, talented young players, great.
But for all the other aspects of being felt used by Chelsea and by Blueco, really, that I don't think will never go down that well, really.
So...
It was a shame they lost in that French Cup semi-final last night because one of the objectives was to go and win that.
They have another go in Europe, as you said, although that Ray Valicano semi-final won't be easy.
And then it's Braga or Freiburg potentially in the final, which won't be easy either.
So they're still a long way out.
If there's a trophy there at the end of the season, I think it will help a lot in that relationship between Bluco and the Strasbourg Ultras, especially if there isn't, then I think it'd be even more difficult.
No, unless somehow you manage to attract at Strasbourg a more experienced, a bigger name maybe, and then he could do the job for Chelsea because we all knew really, as much as
I like Liam Rossignol a lot.
We all knew that it was a massive gamble still for him to get that Chelsea job and that he was not really ready for it.
He might have stepped up and on another time, you know, he could have, but certainly it looked like the gap was too big between what he was doing in France, which was a really good job.
to taking over one of the biggest clubs in England in the Premier League is a completely different story, really, and board game.
So I think Gary O'Neill was not really hoping, not thinking about the same, but he's doing a decent job, to be fair.
And if he brings them a European trophy, then I think he'll become a hero and everybody in Strasbourg will forget very quickly Liam Rossignol.
Are UEFA happy with that?
The famous blind trust, Rafi, has been sent to UEFA on time, apparently, which means that because I think it was Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley
