Bruco has endured a lot of criticism since taking over the club in 2022, but Jamie Carragher has questioned Chelsea’s current structure as they search for a sixth permanent manager.<\/h2>\n

Jamie Carragher has hinted that Chelsea need a new owner as they lash out at Bruco after Liam Rosenior became the fifth manager to leave the club during his tenure earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Rosenior was handed a six-year contract in January after being selected to replace the highly-rated Enzo Maresca. However, the 41-year-old was sacked on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the club’s 3-0 defeat at Brighton. In a fiery post-match interview, Rosenior pulled no punches in criticizing the Chelsea team.<\/p>\n
Chelsea currently sit in eighth place in the Premier League, seven points behind Liverpool in fifth place, and with fewer games played, there is a real risk that a disappointing result in the 2025-26 season could see them miss out on Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n
And following another eventful campaign under Bruco, who bought the club in 2022, Carragher branded Chelsea an “unrelenting failure” and said the departure of another manager suggested Chelsea “need a new owner as much as another head coach”.<\/p>\n

“The appointment and inevitable ouster of Liam Rosenior is a manifestation of the mismanagement described above,” the former Liverpool and England defender told the Telegraph.<\/p>\n
It is a damning indictment of a catalog of poor decisions that since 2022 the club has invested so much for so little return, with endless claims that they are “looking for long-term growth”.<\/p>\n
“From the beginning, Chelsea’s executives have acted as if they were smarter and more insightful than anyone who has ever run a football club. They have become the most extreme example of a club that views players and coaches as mere pawns. Their mission seems to be to prove that the true visionaries, intellectuals and charismatic figures responsible for success are in the boardroom, not on the pitch or in the training centre.”<\/p>\n

“Their dismal reign is a cautionary tale for others. When the best players in the class are operating at every level, success is the result of collaboration. When power switches to the manager rather than the manager who works every day on the training field to improve performance, the result is carnage and a disconnect between fans, players, managers and managers.”<\/p>\n
Chelsea have changed managers at an alarming rate since Behdad Egbali and Todd Boley took over in 2022, with Thomas Tuchel being sacked shortly after Bruco bought the club. Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino followed Maresca and then Rosenior.<\/p>\n
The club have also spent over \u00a31.5bn on transfers under the current regime, but are probably in a worse position than before, with question marks over the squad they have built.<\/p>\n

Carragher also criticized the “gimmick” of giving players seven-year contracts and warned that top stars could leave if things don’t improve. “Supporter protests and chants against Chelsea’s board have increased over the last six months. Given the track record of those in charge, it won’t end soon. Recent events have reinforced just how poor the policies under Bruco have been.”<\/p>\n
“The people in charge at Stamford Bridge wanted to go about their business differently to Roman Abramovich. They certainly did that, spending more than \u00a31.5 billion to reduce Chelsea’s success, fear, respect and profits. A trophy-winning machine was turned into an expensive and failing football guinea pig.”<\/p>\n
