Former Lionesses captain Steph Houghton has said that Chelsea players wanted Liam Rosenior sacked at the club. She recently had her say on the latest episode of Monday Night Club, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that the players did give in when Rosenior was still in charge, Steph revealed that it was going to be hard for Liam to find any momentum because the boys simply stopped trying for him.
Houghton added that the Chelsea players should feel ashamed of their terrible performance vs Brighton at the Amex.
Her words, “When you have a team that stops running it is so hard to get it back.
These next four games are when you see what these players are about – having a young squad that lacks leadership, the type of players that are going to get hold of each other. In the last three to four months, they have really missed that.
The automatic thing is to spit their dummy out, that’s exactly what they did against Brighton.
They have four games left under an interim manager that they all know will be nice as they know him from the academy. So it’s easy for them. It’s when the next manager comes in, they can’t just down tools like they did against Brighton.
You still have a responsibility for that club to do the best you possibly can.
The Chelsea players quite frankly should feel ashamed of how they played at Brighton.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
