Chelsea Manager Liam Rosenior on Brink

Rosenior launched a stinging rebuke of his players after the Brighton debacle, labeling their performance 'unacceptable' and 'indefensible.' Sections of the Chelsea squad have reportedly lost faith in his tactics, while former players have publicly questioned his leadership credentials.

Sacking Rosenior could cost the club up to £24 million due to the length of his remaining contract.

Potential replacements, including former player Cesc Fabregas, are already being discussed as the club's season hits a new nadir.
