Now, here is that statement from the Strasbourg supporters federation, which has been vocal in its criticism of owners BlueCo – the consortium led by American Boehly that also owns Chelsea.
They have called Rosenior’s departure “humiliating” and say the future of club football in France is now at stake:
“The transfer of Liam Rosenior marks another humiliating step in Racing’s subservience to Chelsea.
“For two and a half years, along with others, we have been trying to raise the alarm about this.
“The problem goes far beyond the mid-season sporting impact and the ambitions of a young coach. It is structural; the future of French club football is at stake.
“Every additional contortion by Marc Keller, every extra minute spent at the helm of the club, is an insult to the tremendous work accomplished before 2023.
“What was seen by many as an outrageous move last September increasingly looks like sound advice: he must leave. Now.
“The FSRCS will coordinate closely with the three other associations actively fighting against multiple ownership, as well as all people of goodwill, to define the next steps.”
