Former players and pundits have reacted with a mix of surprise and sympathy after Chelsea announced that the club had “parted ways” with manager Liam Rosenior after just three months in charge.
Rosenior leaves after a historic run of bad form that saw the Blues lose five league games in a row without scoring for the first time since 1912, with a Chelsea statement explaining that “recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season”.
