Liam Rosenior secure unless Chelsea ‘implode’ over final weeks of season — report
Oh, well that’s not wholly unlikely…

(Photo by Chelsea Football Club/Chelsea FC via Getty Images) | Chelsea FC via Getty Images Liam Rosenior has engineered a remarkable downturn in Chelsea’s fortunes over the past few weeks, but the only way his job would be in jeopardy, according to a report a couple days ago from The Telegraph , is if that downturn continued to spiral into a full-on “implosion”. Which … well … have we looked at the last seven games of the Premier League season?
After the international break, it’s Manchesters City (h) and United (h), then Brighton (a), Forest (h), Liverpool (a), Spurs (h), and Sunderland (a). On current form, there aren’t too many points in there, except for maybe the three against Spurs that could yet relegate them. That would be even more amusing than confirming Leicester City’s title in 2015-16 with Eden Hazard’s equalizer at the Battle of the Bridge.
But schadenfreude doesn’t pay the bills and it certainly doesn’t represent progress for the future. As has been the case for all other BlueCo appointees, managerial reviews don’t get conducted until after at least 12 months on the job (but sometimes 24) … at least that’s always the plan, unless you do as badly as Graham Potter. Or you walk away like Mauricio Pochettino.
Or Enzo Maresca (who’s being blamed entirely for our current predicament by he club, apparently). Or, in effect, Thomas Tuchel. Can Rosenior last longer than those four?
