Liam Rosenior on conversations with owners and his Chelsea future

Liam Rosenior on conversations with owners and his Chelsea future

Liam Rosenior insists he has not discussed his own future with those in charge at Chelsea – and that everyone is instead firmly focused on how they can improve.

Chelsea have been on a dire run of form of late, losing six of the last seven games and suffering four Premier League losses in a row without scoring a goal.

“I can assure you we’ve had many conversations from when I joined in January about what this club needs now and in the future for us to be where we want to be and I think that that made it very clear,” Rosenior said when asked about his conversations with co-owner Behdad Eghbali.

“He wants consistent trophies and consistent success for this club. That’s what all we’ve spoken about in the now, in the summer and how we build and we’re all very, very in mind and we’re very clear in what we need to do and what we want to do and what we have to do to get this club back to where it should be.

“They’ve been supportive of me in our daily conversations, sporting directors involved, they’ve been magnificent in their support of me and the team. We’re relying on them, we know we need to win games of football in the now.

“That doesn’t go against what we’re trying to do, which is give consistent success to this club in the long term.”

Rosenior did, however, admits it is pointless discussing the long-term vision if he does not win games in the short-term.

“We have to win, that’s what this club demands rightfully so that’s what the fans expect,” he said. “For me it’s about winning games in football, that’s what football is about.

“I can’t speak about the long term if you’re not doing a job in the short term and being really respectfully honest here, we haven’t done well enough in recent games. That needs to change and that’s on my shoulders as the head coach of this team.”
