“The managers wanted to copy the Brighton model, but with more money. We can say that the project is working, since we are 1 point ahead of Brighton”mocked a Chelsea fan two days ago, before the trip to the same Brighton pitch. Who made short work of Liam Rosenior’s men, with a clear 3-0 victory. As a result, the Blues were smashed in England, and the voluntary and positive speech of the former Strasbourg coach began to seriously strain the supporters.
It remained to be seen what the Chelsea board thought, in which Rosenior assured he had full confidence, before this new setback, the 5th in a row in the Premier League! And according to several sources, the BBC, Skysports or even Fabrizio Romano, his case is indeed currently being discussed by Chelsea leaders. Worried, they met this Wednesday, the day after the latest rout, to discuss the short-term future of Rosenior. Who would now be uncertain. According to The Telegraphthe decision-makers would subsequently like to focus on a coach with significant high-level experience.
Fans and some players already don’t believe it anymore
Problem, Chelsea signed a 5 and a half year contract for Rosenior, who arrived 3 months ago from Strasbourg. It will therefore be necessary to pay a lot of money to part with it, but not necessarily the €28 million announced, since a prior agreement would have been signed between the two parties at the time of the marriage. Clearly, the graft is not taking, and since his appointment, Chelsea have fallen in the Premier League standings, where they are currently 7th, and have been eliminated from the Champions League by PSG.
Above all, in a recent survey proposed by the BBCthe fans were already clearly leaning in favor of dismissing Rosenior, considered too soft to reverse the situation. Some players have publicly declared their disagreement with the change of coach (Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez), while those who played less with Rosenior are necessarily in favor of a new change of coach. Will Chelsea take this risk, while the risk of not qualifying for the next Champions League is growing visibly? Leaders are currently working on the issue.
