<\/p>\n\n \u00a9TM\/IMAGO<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If Liam Rosenior\u2019s appointment as Chelsea manager split opinion amongst supporters then the scales have certainly tipped towards disillusionment across recent weeks. The Blues\u2019 form has nosedived with six loses in their last seven games and their only win in that sequence was against League 1 Port Vale. Moreover, Chelsea have failed to score in five of their last six games and their Champions League qualification hopes realistically ended with defeat to Manchester United on Saturday. The Blues trail fifth place Liverpool by seven points with just five games remaining and defeat to Brighton tonight could even put any European qualification in serious jeopardy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ahead of the United game, Chelsea co-owner Behdad Edhbali provided Rosenior the dreaded vote of confidence but his wording hardly provided the Englishman significant reassurance. \u201cWe had the opportunity to work with him daily for 18 plus months, so we knew what we were getting,\u201d said Edhbali. \u201cWe think he has every attribute to be successful here. He got off to a great start. We\u2019ve had a tough past five, six matches, but I think we\u2019re behind Liam. Of course, it\u2019s a successful business, but we think he can be successful long term.\u201d Chelsea supporters have repeatedly protested against their ownership structure recently and disharmony is growing in West London with Rosenior increasingly unlikely to be in charge next season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We\u2019ve analysed Transfermarkt’s vast database to calculate every Chelsea manager\u2019s points per game record in the Premier League since 2000 – we\u2019ve excluded Gianluca Vialli as his spell spanned across two centuries. Worryingly for Rosenior, the 41-year-old\u2019s record is the second worst of the 17 permanent managers that Chelsea have installed this century.<\/p>\nLiam Rosenior\u2019s Premier League record compared to Chelsea managers<\/h2>\n

His record of 1.42 ppg from his 12 games in charge is only marginally superior to Graham Potter (1.27). With only one win in his last eight Premier League games, defeat to in-form Brighton tonight would intensify the pressure on Rosenior. Chelsea have won five Premier League titles since 2000 under three managers, Jos\u00e9 Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Carlo Ancelotti. But interestingly the legendary trio are eclipsed in the ppg ranking by Avram Grant. The Israeli boss boasted a 2.32 ppg record across his 32 games in charge at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
