Rosenior says Chelsea sacking had 'nothing to do with football'
The former Chelsea boss, now at Paris FC, reopens the case after 106 days at Stamford Bridge and points at the media and social media.
Liam Rosenior says his sacking by Chelsea had "nothing to do with football". The Englishman, who spent 106 days in charge of the Blues, made the comment in an interview with So Foot, hinting at a lack of tolerance in England without giving details.
He was removed after five straight games without scoring, the last a 3-0 defeat at Brighton in which Chelsea did not manage a shot on target. Rosenior, now at Paris FC, fourth in Ligue 1, admits the run hurt him but places the cause outside the pitch.
According to the interview, he criticises the media pressure and social media, where he was mocked as "LinkedIn Liam". He also mentions the mockery of the note he passed to Garnacho during the 8-2 aggregate defeat to PSG. He says he will one day tell what really happened.
