From the source
Former Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has said he suffered from a snowball effect in the English media that led to him being branded a joke.
Rosenior was sacked by Chelsea after only 106 days in charge last season, following a tough period at Stamford Bridge. He had been appointed from sister-club Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca but managed just 11 wins in 23 matches across all competitions.
Rosenior was fired after five consecutive defeats without scoring. During his time at Stamford Bridge, Rosenior was a regular target for criticism from both pundits and on social media.
