Liam Rosenior’s switch from Strasbourg to Chelsea has prompted a fierce backlash from one of the French club’s fan groups, who labelled the decision “humiliating.” The response from those in west London was not universally positive either.
Strasbourg’s increasingly beleaguered fanbase have been strongly opposed to BlueCo’s ownership of the Ligue 1 side since a majority takeover was launched in June 2023. The investment group which also runs Chelsea have unashamedly used Strasbourg as a feeder club, inspiring a churn of young talent with the sole focus of improving the Premier League team at the expense of their French counterparts.
