Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior warned that the club is running out of time to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League. After a shaky run of results, Rosenior’s comments hit a nerve amid growing fan discontent.

The Chelsea Supporters' Trust slammed the club hierarchy, saying the lack of response to earlier unrest signals deeper issues. Their statement called the club’s direction “sustained concern,” echoing frustrations that fans will soon vocalise in a protest organised by NotAProjectCFC.

Rosenior dismissed the planned demonstration, noting every supporter wants success. He framed his role as delivering results long‑term, while the trust warned that the protest’s scale would harden a widening divide between fans and leadership.

With the league table tightening, Chelsea’s failure to qualify could cost the club prestige and revenue, amplifying pressure on the board and the manager to reverse the trend before the season’s end.
