EPL: Chelsea owners supportive despite slump, says Rosenior

Despite a worrying dip in form that has significantly dented Chelsea's Champions League aspirations, manager Liam Rosenior insists he retains the full backing of the club's owners, BlueCo. The recent string of four straight Premier League losses, culminating in a home defeat to Manchester United, has led to fan protests and boos, painting a grim picture of the team's current standing.

“

One hundred percent.

Rosenior, who took over in January, highlighted his "daily conversations" with the owners, describing their support as "magnificent." He stressed a shared vision for long-term success, even as the immediate pressure to secure results mounts. The team now sits seven points adrift of fifth place, with their European football hopes hanging by a thread.

“

They have been supportive of me in our daily conversations, they have been magnificent in their support of me and the team.

The manager acknowledged the difficulty of their Champions League pursuit but urged his players not to give up. He called for renewed energy and intensity, similar to what was shown against Manchester United, while also demanding greater clinicality in both boxes to halt the alarming slump. The upcoming match against Brighton presents another crucial opportunity to turn their fortunes around.

We’re aligned that we know we need to win games of football in the now, but that doesn’t go against what we’re trying to do, which is give consistent success to this club long term.
