Liam Rosenior has given his first Chelsea interview to the media after being appointed as Enzo Maresca\u2019s replacement at Stamford Bridge. <\/p>\n

The agreement that saw Enzo Maresca leave Chelsea<\/a> hasn\u2019t done Liam Rosenior<\/a> any favours, as the mood at Stamford Bridge isn\u2019t exactly positive after his departure. <\/p>\n

Behdad Eghbali has felt the full force of the fan base<\/a> in recent times, with supporters at Craven Cottage chanting for his departure and other things. <\/p>\n

But there could be worse games to head into for your first game than Charlton Athletic. <\/p>\n

Of course, the FA Cup can always throw up surprises, but it allows Rosenior to trial things and give certain players a chance to prove themselves under him.<\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior pays a compliment to the Chelsea model <\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior held back in his thoughts on the Chelsea model, taking the easy option of praising it for allowing him the opportunity to manage at Strasbourg and now in London. <\/p>\n

He said the following. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always going to be speculation about how [the model] works, but I have enjoyed my time working here [with BlueCo]. My time at Strasbourg was the best 18 months of my career. My job now is to bring success to Chelsea. I am looking forward to it. I can\u2019t wait. If you are scared or fearful, there\u2019s no point being a coach. I am going to work 24 hours a day and push the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you make of Liam Rosenior\u2019s comment on the Chelsea model?\ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n

Let’s hope they don’t walk all over him!<\/p>\n

What is the Chelsea model?<\/p>\n

BlueCo\u2019s multi-club model with RC Strasbourg has caused a lot of the issues, with some arguing that this completely robs smaller clubs of their identity. <\/p>\n

The BlueCo era has replaced the emotional connection at Stamford Bridge<\/a> with a more business and private equity approach, turning Chelsea into a global player-trading farm. Using Strasbourg as a feeder club to loan, sell, and sign players, as well as the easy option of appointing Liam Rosenior.<\/p>\n

Chelsea also became famous for signing players to unprecedented 7, 8, or 9-year contracts, something that could come back to bite them. <\/p>\n

By spreading the transfer cost over a longer period in their accounts, they could stay within the Profit and Sustainability Rules. But if a player fails to perform, the club is stuck with their high wages and a massive book value for nearly a decade, making them almost impossible to sell. <\/p>\n
