Most Strasbourg fans thought they had it good from the deal which tied them together with Chelsea. There has been a £157m revamp of their Stade de la Meinau home, improving facilities and increasing capacity. Success on the pitch was underpinned by the attacking and exciting football under Liam Rosenior. Those who were happy to accept success over a loss of autonomy in a multi-club ownership (MCO) structure now know the trade-off. Supporters feel the 42-year-old lacks the experience for the job, having amassed 100 games during managerial spells at Bournemouth and Wolves.
