Reasonable point re. Selles.
With Rosenior, it was said that he told Acun he wouldn't change, and that's also what we heard and saw from Rosenior himself (I won't change, trust the process, I believe in my philosophy, etc). That's not learning. It's a shame, as with a less dogmatic approach it could well have developed into something special given the existing bond with the fans, his early performance in the role, a supportive owner who was also doing great things off the pitch with the club, etc. I wonder if he then had to change & adapt when he took over at Strasbourg, as they are part of Chelsea. I might be wrong but I'd be surprised if he was given free rein in terms of just go ahead and implement 'his Rosieball philosophy'. I'd imagine he had to change to fit what the group there want to achieve, and also reflected hard on his time with us, using it as a really valuable period to learn from , and now reaping the benefit of. That probably wouldn't have happened had he stayed.

Rosenior may well have said that but then people said he 'released the handbrake' near the end of the season with the 2-2 and 3-3 draws with Leicester and Ipswich respectively. 3-2 win over Coventry, etc. So either he didn't change and we just saw that his philosophy would eventually lead to faster paced, more attacking play, or he did change and he wasn't as stubborn as people thought..!

Acun clearly believed he hadn't changed!

I think when Strasbourg beat PSG they had 36% possession and far less shots than PSG. Seems not to have changed too much. Despite their good season only 19,000 in their 26,000 stadium which will have included a fair few PSG fans.

They've been pretty much sold-out, full house crowd all season, give or take a couple of hundred - capacity has been reduced due to around 19500 because of stadium expansion work.

Ah, explains it. Thought it strange crowds had dropped given they are doing so well.

Just had a look at their expansion and they are cladding the stadium in old Airbus Fuselage.
Looks good in the video .
