While Chelsea has not issued an official comment, reports suggest a divide is emerging among key figures at the club regarding the manager's future. 

Several influential voices are understood to believe Rosenior will not be in charge by the start of the next season. 

This internal pressure is compounded by growing frustration from a fanbase tired of the club's revolving-door policy for managers.
