**Strasbourg Fans Turn on BlueCo Ownership Amid Rosenior Exit** Strasbourg's fans have expressed outrage and disappointment over the sudden departure of their manager, Liam Rosenior, to Chelsea. The move has sparked a heated debate about the club's multi-club ownership (MCO) model with Chelsea's investment firm, BlueCo. Fans had initially welcomed the partnership, which brought significant investment and success on the pitch. However, Rosenior's departure has revealed the perceived drawbacks of the MCO model, where top talent is poached by the parent club. Strasbourg's ultras have been vocal in their opposition to the MCO model, staging silent protests and holding up banners during matches. The fans feel that the club has become a "feeder team" for Chelsea, with star players like Emmanuel Emegha likely to join the London club in the summer. Club president Marc Keller has denied suggestions that Strasbourg has become a feeder club, but the Rosenior exit has weakened his argument. The controversy has sparked concerns about the future of MCO models in football, with many fans questioning the fairness and integrity of these partnerships. As the sport continues to evolve, the Strasbourg-Chelsea deal serves as a cautionary tale about the potential risks and consequences of multi-club ownership.
