Former England international Paul Scholes has claimed that nobody in and around football thought Liam Rosenior was the right hire for Chelsea.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

And I actually think he\u2019s right. Not one person thought Rosenior was ready to make such a big step up to manage one of the biggest clubs around, from what little experience he had gotten on board already.<\/p>\n

It was quite sad in the end, with Rosenior turning into a real laughing stock. But he should never have been put in that position in the first place, and that is firmly on Chelsea\u2019s owners and sporting directors who decided that he would be a good idea. It was a ridiculous idea and I still can\u2019t quite believe that they did it. It might be one of their worst decisions ever so far, and there have been many of those.<\/p>\n

In quotes picked up on X this week, Scholes said on The Overlap show:<\/p>\n

\u201cOther than the (Chelsea) owners, nobody else in and around football thought Liam Rosenior was the right person for Chelsea. It was just crazy for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you make that decision, what is Liam going to do? He is not going to say no to a Chelsea job from where he was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior will get a lot of money from Chelsea after they sacked him, but it won\u2019t be close to the full value of his\u00a0deal. The BBC have broken it all down for us.<\/p>\n
