116 | Liam Rosenior, Chelsea And A Crisis Of Their Own Making
Join SC Libero, the most important of the least important membership clubs, now: liberopodcast.com.
---
Liam Rosenior is no longer the Chelsea manager, to nobody’s surprise and to many people’s relief, perhaps including Rosenior himself. Can any manager succeed at Stamford Bridge? Or has the club’s strategy under the BlueCo ownership made that near-impossible? Tariq Panja and Miguel Delaney, join John Brewin.
P1: (05:58)
P2: (38:13)

John Brewin
Freelance writer, editor and broadcaster found on the pages of The Guardian and other places. Previously a long-serving editor and writer at ESPN. Possessor of maybe the finest collection of band t-shirts in the business.
Miguel Delaney
Chief football writer of The Independent since 2017. His latest book, States of Play: How Sportswashing Took Over Football, won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year. Especially proud of what he believes is a current record of attending every Champions League final since 2009 -- including the Covid-delayed 2020 edition in Lisbon. Miguel's favoured expletive begins with a 'C'.
James Horncastle
The Athletic's Italy correspondent, covering what his Libero colleagues call the Dolmio league. This tends to involve gratuitous pics of whatever he's eating and a staunch defence of Lautaro Martinez. Awarded the Stella d'Italia by the Italian state for promoting cultural ties between Italy and the UK. You can call him Cavaliere.
Tariq Panja
Global sports correspondent at The New York Times, previously covering sports news at Bloomberg. Co-authored Football's Secret Trade: How the Player Transfer Market Was Infiltrated with Alex Duff. Lives in London but is often found in windowless rooms at the kind of hotels where sports executives like to gather.
Jack Pitt-Brooke
Works for The Athletic, primarily covering Tottenham Hotspur and England. A regular on The View from the Lane and also found on The Athletic FC and Tifo podcasts. Joined The Athletic in 2019 after working at The Independent since 2010. Was once called "a little Tory beaut" on Twitter for questioning Everton's decision to sign Andre Gomes.
Rory Smith
Football correspondent of The Observer and co-host of the Men In Blazers podcast. Regular contributor to BBC Radio 5 Live and TNT Sports' Champions League coverage. Previously chief soccer correspondent of The New York Times; also worked for The Times, The Independent and ESPN. Author of Mister and Expected Goals. Lives in a large country pile in Yorkshire.
Jonathan Wilson
Author of 13 football histories -- including Inverting the Pyramid and The Power and the Glory -- and one novel. Columnist for The Guardian and World Soccer, editor of The Blizzard, and co-host of It Was What It Was. Enjoys five-minute monologues about tactics born out of the Hungarian coffee houses of the 1930s.
