The Stamford Bridge hierarchy have backed Rosenior to this point and the plan has been to judge him after a full season in charge next term.

However their recent run of poor form coupled with anger from fans is believed to have left the former Strasbourg chief on a less stable footing.

News of Chelsea’s change in feelings towards Rosenior comes as Danny Murphy labelled the Blues boss’ position as untenable on talkSPORT’s White and Jordan.

“Unfortunately for him, I think it’s irreversible when the fans are singing what they are singing,” Murphy said.

Meanwhile, ex-Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan said he felt ‘pity’ for Rosenior – which has to be considered a ‘bad sign’.
