William Gallas fears it is already only a matter of time before Liam Rosenior is sacked but has urged Chelsea not to replace him with his former Arsenal teammate Cesc Fabregas. <\/p>\n

After an encouraging start to his Blues tenure, the wheels have already begun to fall off for Enzo Maresca\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n

The Blues have lost five of their last seven games in all competitions, have crashed out of Europe following an 8-2 defeat on aggregate against PSG and lost significant ground in the race for Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

An abject performance in a 3-0 loss at Everton prior to the international break highlighted the glaring deficiencies in Rosenior\u2019s side and Gallas already believes the reality of hiring a young, untested manager has set in. <\/p>\n

\u2018With Chelsea\u2019s owners, anything can happen,\u2019 Gallas told football odds<\/strong>. \u2018Nobody knows what is going to happen at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was really difficult to accept the result against Paris Saint-Germain. A 8-2 loss is very hard to take and then they lost 3-0 to Everton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018They have to find a solution this weekend against Port Vale in the FA Cup to get a better result and come back with a victory but you don\u2019t know what the owners are already thinking. <\/p>\n

\u2018You don\u2019t know what they will do if they are already looking for a new manager. Maybe they think they made a mistake to bring Liam in.<\/p>\n

\u2018It would be difficult to sack him before the end of the season. I don\u2019t think it would be a good idea for anybody but for the manager, it would be a disaster. For the fans, it would cause even more frustration against the owners.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rosenior will hope for some respite this weekend with Chelsea hosting Port Vale in the FA Cup where anything but a win will cost him his job according to Gallas. <\/p>\n

He said: \u2018I think Port Vale are in League One and they are at the bottom of the table. I think they will be relegated to League Two so it would be a disaster if Chelsea slipped up. If they have a bad result against Port Vale, that would be the end of the manager.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t think it is a good idea to sack him before the end of the season but if he lost against Port Vale, that would be the end for him.<\/p>\n

\u2018The fans would be fuming but sometimes you have to be careful. If they come to Stamford Bridge, it is different. Chelsea will win 3-0.\u2019<\/p>\n

Should Chelsea\u2019s Clearlake owners embark on yet another new manager search, the temptation to appoint Fabregas, who has overseen a transformation in the fortunes of Italian minnows Como, would be hard to resist.<\/p>\n

Gallas, who played alongside the former Spain international at Arsenal for four years, believes Chelsea would be much better off going for a more experienced manager. <\/p>\n

He said: \u2018What kind of manager did Chelsea need? I think it all depends on what you are looking for. For the long-term, you can bring in Cesc Fabregas because he is doing well with his club at the moment. <\/p>\n

\u2018He is young and able to speak to a young squad. He\u2019s doing a good job. In the long term, he can bring Chelsea back to the positions where everybody wants to see Chelsea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are thinking about the short-term, to have success straight away, they need that experienced head to guide them like Diego Simone and with his personality he can win things very soon with Chelsea. <\/p>\n

\u2018Maybe the Chelsea players need him too because we need to see more warriors and soldiers in the team after what they\u2019ve shown us. I think you need that type of manager who is a little bit more harsh on the players.\u2019<\/p>\n
