Chelsea supporters were calling for Liam Rosenior to be sacked in the course of the 3-0 loss to Brighton on Tuesday night.
The defeat on the Amex Stadium means Chelsea have now lost five league games in a row without scoring for the primary time since 1912.
In the course of the second half against Brighton, Chelsea supporters were once more chanting against the club’s BlueCo ownership and in addition sang ‘f*** off Rosenior’.
Chelsea have now dropped to seventh within the Premier League and are seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, meaning that Champions League qualification for next season is very unlikely.
After the team crashed out of the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain last month, reports suggested that Chelsea’s hierarchy had no plans to part ways with Rosenior, who replaced Enzo Maresca in January.
Nonetheless, Chelsea are actually prone to face further pressure from supporters to sack Rosenior if he’s unable to enhance the team’s form.
Despite Chelsea’s woeful Premier League form, Rosenior’s side have the prospect to succeed in the FA Cup final this season as they play Leeds United within the semi-final at Wembley on Sunday.
Based on bookmakers Betfair, Rosenior stays favourite to stay as Chelsea manager for the beginning of next season, while Filipe Luis, who held talks with BlueCo earlier this yr over a move to Strasbourg, is second favourite at odds of 5/2.
Cesc Fabregas, whose Como side are currently sixth in Serie A, is third favourite at 4/1, while Oliver Glasner, who’s leaving Crystal Palace at the tip of the season, is priced at 9/2.

Speaking after Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester United last weekend, Glenn Hoddle backed his former club to keep on with Rosenior for the beginning of next season.
‘For me, for Liam to remain in that job now until the tip of the season, I feel they’ll give him that chance but he’s got to complete on a high note, he’s got to get some wins under his belt,’ Hoddle said.
‘The rationale they brought him in is he’s a young manager, he’s a part of their project, in the event you like, if you desire to use that word, and I feel they’ll give him that probability.
‘But he’s going to have to start out winning, even when he doesn’t get within the Champions League, they’re within the FA Cup semi-final so that they could actually win a trophy still.
‘I feel they’ll stick with him and provides him a pre-season and I feel they’ll start with him but he’s going to have to start out next season in a positive way, if not, I feel then he may very well be on a little bit of dodgy ground.’
