Liam Rosenior on the brink

The pressure on Liam Rosenior has reached a breaking point after Chelsea's latest abject performance left the club in its worst scoring drought since 1912.

Rosenior publicly lambasted his squad after the Brighton loss, claiming only a few players showed acceptable effort, a move that has reportedly alienated the dressing room.

Owners BlueCo are now weighing the cost of a potential £24 million compensation package if they decide to terminate his contract just months into a long-term deal.

Former stars like Cesc Fabregas and Frank Lampard are already being tipped as potential replacements as the club's season spirals out of control.
