Rosenoir in at Chelsea on a 6.5 year contract. Chelsea really love handing out stupid long contracts. No way he's lasting that long.

I'm no expert, but aren't the long contracts all about getting round the financial restrictions?

Yeah makes sense for amortising transfer fees across the length of the contracts for players, but feels odd and unnecessary for managers. Especially a manager who was already part of their "group".
Also nice that the last 2 announced PL Managers of the Month have been sacked since getting the award

Nor do I, but I have no idea why you'd offer a 6.5 year contract.

Rosenior as Chelsea coach makes no sense at all . Such a random club appointment.
Molehill
International Coach
It would make sense to the end of the season, but the 6.5 year contract bit is just so weird.
Silver Silva
International Captain
Yes you are right as an interim it would make sense , but a full time contract to a manager whose never managed in the premier league in any capacity , never won a trophy , never coached in the champions league , with no ties to Chelsea is a big gamble .

It's definitely a sign I'm getting old when I can remember managers' dads playing...
Anyhoo, this appointment seems like a set up for an elaborate practical joke. He seems like he did ok in Strasbourg, 7th out of 18 last year and has left them in exactly the same spot just now, but it's not two years since he got the arse from City, Hull. Who admittedly have a nut job chairman, but still.

League is surely a wrap now.

As someone who has made good money in backing City to win close title races over the years and has reinvested again, yeah a little worried now.
Tomorrow tbf is a very tough match against Liverpool so their is that, and they do have tricky looking games v Brentford/Spurs (derby)but it does look like a fixture list for the foreseeable future a serious team like Arsenal should relish.
Still though, usual cliches , games not played on paper and City are ATG when it comes to chasing and they have serious reinforcements coming.

How long are the notoriously twitchy Spurs fans going to give Thomas Frank, I wonder?

Yeah I think it was in City's favour prior to that Chelsea game. Losing Gvardiol and Dias is enormous, especially with Stones out. The only thing that may swing it back towards them is if they can get Guehi in.
From here I think it goes one of two ways; Arsenal either cruise ahead and win it by the end of Feb, or they'll have their own little wobble invite City back into it but ultimately still hang on. Either way the quality just isn't there in the chasing pack so it'll be Arsenal's own doing if anyone gets close.
We are doing nothing tomorrow. I would have some hope if Ekitike and Wirtz were fit but without them we have nothing in attack. I can see us scumbagging a point but it will be because we've dragged them down to our level rather than us rising to theirs.
If they score early (or at all for that matter) we are getting battered.

I was thinking about this earlier. There's a very good chance that both Spurs and Liverpool managers are sacked by the end of the season.
World cup is not far away either, Alonso is in hot water at Madrid, Enrique has turned down a contract extension at PSG.
Great time to be a highly-rated manager on the market.

That Michael Keane sending off was an absolute farce. If that is violent conduct the game has well and truly gone.
A bit of a sad day in British football with former Leeds player and Welsh manager Terry Yorath dying aged 75 and Kevin Keegan diagnosed with cancer.
I went to watch Wales play a few games with my dad as a kid during the Yorath era, including the famous 1-0 win over Germany.
