We asked for your views on Chelsea's managers taking the limelight this season, following Enzo Maresca's "worst 48 hours" outburst and Liam Rosenior's "indefensible performance" criticism.

And we also wanted to know who you feel is to blame for the current issues.

Here are some of your replies:

Eve: BlueCo is the problem at Chelsea, not the players and not Rosenior. They've spent £2bn on a squad with the depth of a bunch of 20-year-olds at the back and a less-than Championship striker. Rosenior never was, and never will be qualified for a club of Chelsea's calibre. We need new ownership otherwise we will be following Leicester City over the next decade.

Martin: The understandable forced sale of the club has ultimately led to disaster. The new owners are clueless, they have wasted huge amounts of money making us objectively worse. I have sympathy for Rosenior, but it is over. Reece James and Levi Cowill aside, I have very little affinity to these players and wouldn't be sorry to see any of them go. We are sleep walking towards becoming Spurs.

James: It's not the manager's fault, it's the players. They are the ones who have gone from winning the Club World Cup to almost being a relegation team. The squad has no experienced players, which has come from buying young players that can be sold on for a profit. It's too much of a business rather than a great sport. The Chelsea board need to decide whether they want a football team or a player factory. The latter is definitely not what the supporters want.
