Liam Rosenior said yesterday that Chelsea’s owners had been “magnificent” in their support despite an alarming slump that has left their Champions League qualification hopes hanging by a thread.

The Blues are seven points behind fifth-placed  Liverpool after four straight Premier League defeats and their chances of finishing in the top five look bleak.

Boos greeted the full-time whistle following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to  Manchester United at Stamford Bridge after some supporters staged a street protest against owners BlueCo ahead of kick-off.

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali last week said the club were still behind Rosenior and remained optimistic about long-term success under his management.

Asked yesterday if he felt that support, Blues head coach Rosenior, who replaced Enzo Maresca in January, said: “One hundred percent.

“They have been supportive of me in our daily conversations, the sporting directors involved, they have been magnificent in their support of me and the team.
