      Depends on whether a desirable manager is available. Iraola is available, see if the board likes him and he wants to come here.

      I feel like this is based on us finishing 6th and just missing out. What happens if we lose most out remai games and finish mid table.

      honestly Liam is doing fine considering the state of the squad he was given and i would like to see him get a chance with a improved squad, but nothing will change if we keep buying players like garnacho and gittens instead of actual world class players.

      Not interested in briefs like these, a pattern with the board is already established. They were happy with potter, poch until it was time to go. Whatever backing they say is meaningless

      – Multiple sources, speaking, like others in this piece, under the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, have said that Chelsea intend to keep head coach Rosenior even if they fail to secure the top-five finish required to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

      – Rosenior has also revealed he has been involved in the club’s discussions about plans for the next campaign, hardly a sign he is expecting to pack his bags.

      – Rosenior was not hired to turn Chelsea into a mid-table also-ran.

      – Perhaps most alarmingly, the standard of performance has plummeted. They have lost three consecutive league games without scoring a goal for the first time in 28 years.

      – There have been growing signs of frustration towards Rosenior lately, though. The Chelsea contingent made their anger towards Rosenior, as well as the players, clear when they walked over to them following the 3-0 defeat at Everton

      – Abuse aimed at Rosenior in the dugout can be heard at Stamford Bridge. Perhaps the most damning sight is the number of fans leaving games early.

      – Manchester United fans will be well aware of the Ten Hag Trap: keeping and doubling down on a coach who most supporters and outside observers have concluded is not up to the job, only to belatedly accept reality and part ways with him a few months into a new season.

      – United spent a huge amount on Ten Hag transfer targets in the summer of 2024, only to sack him in October.

      – Chelsea got younger rather than better, and the Premier League and Champions League present football’s two steepest learning curves.

      – No wonder the message coming from people with an understanding of Chelsea’s plans, who asked to be kept anonymous to protect relationships, say there is a focus on greater emotional resilience, maturity and players who can make an impact from the start.
