Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given Chelsea’s stance on sacking manager Liam Rosenior right now after another defeat.
In all competitions, Rosenior has lost 5 out of his last 6 matches as Blues boss, and the only win was against rock bottom of League One side Port Vale in the FA Cup.

It was a different story yesterday though, coming up against the quality of Manchester City – and there was a gulf in difference even though Chelsea actually played well in the first half. The second half was a different story and they got rolled over, losing 3-0 at home.
But it doesn’t sound like Rosenior is going anywhere right now, and Romano says the message he’s getting is they will not be making yet another change right now.

In words quoted on X, Romano said:
“Chelsea are still backing Liam Rosenior, this is the message from the club after the match today. They don’t forget he arrived in January + had no pre season. It will be important to understand how Chelsea end the rest of the season, its results based industry, but at the moment as of now, the message is ‘we want to trust this manager.”
Head coach Liam Rosenior is nowhere near good enough to manage Chelsea, that should be clear by now. But he’s been doing his best to react to the City defeat yesterday, claiming that they have big plans for the summer transfer window.
The Blues boss also holds himself accountable for the defeat yesterday, as he should do being the manager. But it’s also clearly on this ownership who have built a squad that is FAR from good enough.
