Calum McFarlane is back as interim head coach, through the end of the season, and presumably just through the end of the season. Wonder if he were to win all his games in charge, including an FA Cup final, would he remain under consideration for a permanent appointment? Seems unlikely, but hey, you never know.

Chelsea took less than a week to appoint Rosenior back in January. He made it less than half a year into a 6. 5-year contract.

Only a fraction of that was paid out as severance, but the club have promised to make a more considerate choice this time around. Not one ounce of confidence may be left in their ability to actually do so, but let’s hope we can find someone still interested in at least working here. Various reports in the immediate wake of Rosenior’s sacking have thrown out various names as potential replacements, with Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola leading the odds and the one mentioned the most often.
