BlueCo have copped plenty of criticism since acquiring the club in 2022 and Jamie Carragher has questioned Chelsea's current regime as they seek a sixth permanent managerJamie Carragher has suggested that Chelsea need new owners in a blistering attack on BlueCo after Liam Rosenior became the fifth manager to leave the club during their tenure earlier this week.Rosenior was handed a six-year contract back in January after being chosen to succeed the highly-rated Enzo Maresca. But the 41-year-old was axed on Wednesday - less than 24 hours after a chastening 3-0 defeat away at Brighton, which preceded an explosive post-match interview in which Rosenior pulled no punches with his criticism of the Chelsea team.Chelsea are eighth in the Premier League at present and with Liverpool seven points ahead of them having played a game less in fifth, there is now a real risk that a disappointing 2025-26 campaign will result in them failing to qualify for the Champions League.And following another turbulent campaign under BlueCo, who acquired the club in 2022, Carragher has branded them an "unmitigated failure", saying that the departure of another manager suggests that Chelsea "need a new owner as much as another head coach".READ MORE: Pep Guardiola's feelings on Enzo Maresca speak volumes as Man City eye up ex-Chelsea bossREAD MORE: Ex-Chelsea star could be in line for return as manager after brutal sack following 8-0 win“Liam Rosenior’s appointment – and inevitable downfall – is a symptom of mismanagement above,” the former Liverpool and England defender said in The Telegraph.To have invested so much since 2022 for so little reward – with the never-ending claim that the club is 'building for the long term' – is a damning indictment of a catalogue of terrible decisions.“From the outset, Chelsea’s executives have acted as if they are smarter and more perceptive than anyone who has run a football club.
They have become the most extreme example of a club that views players and coaches as mere pawns. Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino followed before Maresca and then Rosenior.The club have also spent over £1.5billion on transfers under the current regime yet are arguably in a worse position than they were previously with question marks over the squad which has been built.After also calling out the "gimmick" of handing out seven-year contracts to players and warning top stars could depart if things do not improve, Carragher continued: “Supporters’ protests and their chants against the Chelsea board have been growing for six months.
They have certainly managed that, spending over £1.5bn to make Chelsea less successful, less feared, less respected and less profitable. If you don't like our community, you can check out any time you like.
