Rosenior must navigate the treacherous waters of Chelsea's fanbase, where dissatisfaction runs deep under the surface, with tensions simmering from the recent departure of Enzo Maresca. The 41-year-old is unlikely to be met with open arms by supporters, who have grown increasingly disenchanted with the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership, viewing Rosenior as a yes-man in line with their bosses' wishes.
The question on everyone's lips is whether Rosenior can prove himself as more than just a puppet manager. Can he bring about much-needed stability and success to a team that has struggled at home, throwing away leads with alarming regularity? The recent drop in fair play, racking up 43 yellow cards and four reds in just 20 league games, highlights the need for improved discipline.
Moreover, Rosenior faces an uphill battle in rallying the squad around him. Young players like Cole Palmer, whose season has been disrupted by injury, will require gentle guidance to unlock their full potential. The recent protest against the board before a home game against Brentford signals that supporters are not at ease with what they regard as Chelsea's identity changing.
The challenge for Rosenior lies in winning over the fans, who have grown weary of the ownership's long-term strategy of buying and hiring young talent. As the manager takes charge, he must navigate this complex landscape, where fans' expectations are high, but their patience is wearing thin. Can Rosenior rise to the challenge and prove himself as a worthy successor, or will his tenure be marked by an early test of his mettle?

. With Enzo Maresca gone, it's like, totally understandable that the fans are all stressed out about Rosenior taking over - they don't know if he's gonna be a yes-man or an actual manager who makes decisions 
. I mean, can you blame them though? The ownership's been getting some flak for years now, and the recent fair play stats are, like, woah... 43 yellows and four reds in just 20 games? That's not good at all 
.
. I think he needs to take a step back, listen to what the young guns are saying, and try to build some trust 
. And let's be real, the fans are getting pretty impatient 
. They want stability, success, and an actual identity for the team - not just some random player-hiring spree 
. Will Rosenior rise to the challenge? Time will tell... 
. Anyway, Rosenior needs to win some games, like, pronto! 
. And honestly, I think it's time for the fans to give Rosenior a chance to prove himself 
. No more expectations on his first day, you know? Just let him get his feet wet 
.
cole palmer is such a talented player but he does need to be gentle guided or else he'll just get frustrated 
and the fans are right to protest because they want what's best for the team too 
but rosenior's got this... i think 
fans can b harsh but Rosenior seems like a class act 2 me 
) and the squad needs someone who can calm them down and make them believe in themselves again. And let's not forget about that protest thingy... fans want a sense of identity and stability, which is legit 
.
. It's all on him to win over the fans and make them believe in his vision 
. Wish him luck 'cause it's gonna be a wild ride 
️
.
? and fair play (no pun intended) 43 yellow cards in 20 games tho what's going on with those players?? need to step up their game 
. i feel for cole palmer though, gotta get that injury sorted ASAP 
and the fans are straight up worried about losing their identity 
, like can rosenerio bring back the magic? 
only time will tell! 
. And don't even get me started on that whole fair play thing - 43 yellow cards in 20 games? That's wild 
. Like, can't these players just keep their cool for one match without getting booked or sent off? And to make matters worse, Cole Palmer's injury is gonna be a major headache for Rosenior 
. I mean, I'm rooting for the guy and all, but this is like trying to navigate a minefield with blindfolds on 
.
.
. And then you got this new manager, Rosenior, who's got some big shoes to fill... or should I say, Chelsea's massive budget to splurge on talent 
.
It's all so dramatic... I hope Rosenior can navigate it all without losing his mind 
.
I'm feelin' good vibes about Thomas Tuchel's protégé, Graham Potter, but Chelsea needs a manager who can connect with their passionate fans. Rosenior's gotta win 'em over ASAP! 
If he can show 'em that he cares about the team's history and values, not just what his bosses want, then I think he might just have a shot! 
Can't wait to see how he handles this challenge! 
.
. And the protest against the board before that Brentford game? That's not a good sign... it shows the fans are getting frustrated with the whole ownership situation 
.
. And don't even get me started on the ownership - buying and hiring young talent until the cows come home... yeah, because that always works out so well in the long run
