Liam Rosenior had to go - but rudderless Chelsea's problems run much, much deeper
Rosenior's Downfall
If we're being brutally honest, it always felt like a case of not if, but when the axe would fall on Liam Rosenior after he was named as the surprise successor to the sacked Enzo Maresca in January.
Chelsea's Wider Problems
Although he was doomed from the start in the eyes of many, few would have expected things to unravel quite so quickly for the English tactician. Rosenior has probably deservedly been relieved of his duties - but he was simply a symptom of Chelsea's wider, deeper problems.
- Liam Rosenior was sacked as Chelsea manager after a historically-bad run of form.
- The English tactician oversaw a fifth league defeat in a row.
- Chelsea's quest to qualify for the Champions League has been all-but ended.
Chelsea's problems run much, much deeper than Liam Rosenior.
Future Implications
Within 24 hours of Chelsea's brutal dismantling by Brighton, Rosenior had been sacked. The result plunged their hopes of securing any form of European football into real jeopardy.
