One writer has stood up to tell Chelsea to not sack Liam Rosenior – or at least admit that doing so ends the current project.

Football London canvassed their football writers for takes on Liam Rosenior. There are a few interesting opinions in there, not least the one from John Cross which actually tells the club to stick with him.
“Chelsea cannot sack another manager a little over 100 days since appointing him. If they believed in Liam Rosenior on January 6 then they should have the courage of their convictions and stick with him,” he writes.
However, he does at least accept the reality of the situation – that Chelsea is the “wrong club at the wrong time.”
“Once you lose the match-going fans then you are done. The defeat at Brighton was the first time the fans have turned their sights on Rosenior.”
His final point is one we can all agree with, and something we’ve been shouting for years: “if they pull the trigger now then they should scrap the whole project. Long contracts. Young players and revolving door transfer policy. The Rosenior decision is not just about him – it’s about the future of the club.”
Emmanuel Petit says that Chelsea’s players have stopped playing for the club, and the evidence of that on the pitch is pretty clear.
Our writer Simon Phillips says that Rosenior has already said goodbye to his players, and that the club are looking for a replacement.
