Last time out for Chelsea showed the slackness that has cost them this season.

Will Unwin dug into Rosenior’s time at Hull.

Rosenior was popular at Hull, appreciated for his hard work as a player and for bringing back hope as a coach after a downturn. Many think he was harshly treated when sacked by the owner, Acun Ilicali, less than two years ago but it inadvertently sent Rosenior upwards.

Preamble

To Hull and back and all that, a familiar journey for Liam Rosenior, well thought of as Tigers manager until he was relieved of his duties in May 2024. The East Yorkshire/Humberside club – choose your local governmenr act – of Kingston upon Hull are riding high in the Championship, fourth place going into this weekend. Sergej Jakirović’s team took only one point from their last two matches or else they might be yet higher in the promotion hunt. He’s the third manager since Rosenior ar a club where turmoil is almost as frequent as it has been at Chelsea. Rosenior’s current team had a Tuesday wobble against Leeds, and that vast squad will be reached into, even if they have eight days off after this tie. Let’s see if the North Sea wind is an ill one or not for the Blues.
