Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has criticized Chelsea's ownership group, stating they 'don't have a clue what they're doing' after the recent dismissal of manager Liam Rosenior. Neville's comments come after Rosenior became the fifth managerial casualty in less than four years under the club's current ownership.
Rosenior, who was appointed in January, was let go after a dismal run of seven defeats in eight matches. Neville expressed his shock at the timing of the decision, saying he had expected Rosenior to remain in charge until the end of the season despite the poor results. The Sky Sports pundit placed the blame firmly on the owners, saying they 'got it badly wrong' and that their decision-making has been 'laughable.' Chelsea's fans are likely to be 'absolutely disgusted' by the way the situation has been handled, according to Neville. The club's ownership group, BlueCo, has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many questioning their experience and ability to make informed decisions.
Chelsea is now on the hunt for a new manager, with the process of appointing Rosenior's permanent successor yet to begin. The club has announced that it will 'undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment.' Neville added that he doesn't care who Chelsea's next manager will be, but emphasized that the way the situation has been handled is 'just not right.'
