Huge fee Chelsea would have to pay Liam Rosenior should they sack him

The Blues gaffer is under serious pressure as the defeats mount up.

Tuesday night's thrashing at Brighton was a brutal reality of the situation the club are in. Going below the club they most often buy players from in the table resultantly, the Champions League charge is well and truly off; Europe next season has been plunged into question too full stop.

These aren't the results a club of Chelsea's stature demand - they are the opposite. Players took 32 minutes to complete their first tackle of the match, they were behind after 3 minutes.

Though, if Blue Co are thinking of the unthinkable and sacking their recently appointed boss already, they would have to pay out a significant amount, considering Rosenior has six-years left on his deal.

The fee could be £24million, as per The Sun, ranking high amongst the top payouts in Premier League history.

So where would that payout rank amongst the biggest in PL histories? JOE found out:

1. Antonio Conte (Chelsea) - £26.6m
2. Liam Rosenior (Chelsea) - £24m
3. Jose Mourinho (Chelsea) - £23.1m
4. Jose Mourinho (Man United) - £19.6m
5. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) - £17.1m
6. Brendan Rogers (Liverpool) - £15.6m

Remarkably, Chelsea would account for the top three in the PL entirety.
