Liam Rosenior, a former player at Chelsea and the club's former right-back, has been appointed as the new head coach of Strasbourg. The appointment has sparked outrage among fans and pundits alike, with many hailing it as one of the greatest disgraces in modern European football.
According to Rory Smith and Chris Sutton, two prominent voices on Monday Night Club, Rosenior's appointment is a result of Chelsea's "unfair" use of their multi-club ownership model. This model allows the club to exert significant influence over other teams, often at the expense of the player's interests. In this case, it appears that Chelsea has used their connections with Rosenior to lure him out of Strasbourg.
Smith described the appointment as "summoning" a ghost from Chelsea's past, while Sutton was more blunt in his criticism, calling it "one of the greatest disgraces" in modern European football. Both pundits have expressed concern about the impact this appointment could have on Rosenior's well-being and the integrity of the game.
The incident raises questions about the ethics of club ownership models and the power dynamics at play in modern football. As Smith and Sutton pointed out, Chelsea's influence extends far beyond their own players and staff, and can sometimes lead to a lack of autonomy for other teams and their coaches.
In the end, it remains to be seen how Rosenior will fare in his new role as Strasbourg's head coach. But one thing is clear: this appointment has sparked a fierce debate about the ethics of club ownership models and the impact they can have on the game.
