Never a Chelsea fan, but the sacking of Liam Rosenior (Liam Rosenior leaves Chelsea three and a half months into contract until 2032, 22 April) while Keir Starmer remains in post? The times are out of joint.

The above Fletter appeared in the Guardian on 25th April 2026.
As a trade union officer I most frequently find myself trying to help someone avoid being sacked.
There are some occupations where it seems to be an occupational hazard- football managers for example. The departure of politicians for a range of unfortunate reasons used to be relatively common but in recent times rather less so (it seems, I havent checked the stats)
Even so the sacking of Chelsea manager Liam Rosenoir, the fifth manager the current owners have got rid of, does seem exceptional when Keir Starmer remains in place. Some may argue that both should remain in their jobs of course.
The only positive is that the Government’s Employment Relations Act does make unfair dismissals more difficult and more costly. Good news at least for Olly Robbins
