Maresca leaves confirmed

[AjcW]

That's an odd way of announcing it. No mention of next steps.

Wonder if we got sick of waiting for Chelsea?

[Pliskin]

He will last three months.

Maybe if they had been honest with him from the start, he would have stayed … 

Exactly. The people who run the club are an absolute disgrace. However im not massively bothered Enzo has left but hold no ill feeling towards him for leaving

least the board got this right! 

Apart from taking his advice not to appear in America £££

[lcfc_forever]

From Percy: "Maresca was so devoted to his philosophy that he could at times become stubborn and dogmatic. It was a meeting called by senior Leicester players towards the end of the season that helped them over the line."

 

Ouch. 

[RYM]

He also probably didn’t expect to join a club so much in the shit. 

 

A man leaves for a better job. We’d all do it.

 

Easy of the club to wag their finger but stop whinging and recruit someone better.

From Percy’s article:

 

Towards the end of last season, Maresca did voice his concerns over Leicester’s financial situation, with the club facing a points deduction on their return to the top division.

 

Yet after promotion was secured, and during a post-season trip to Monaco, it is understood that Maresca informed Leicester’s board – including owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha – that he was happy to stay.

 

He rejected offers abroad from Sevilla and Porto, and was heavily involved and invested in the club’s future planning.

 

On Maresca’s recommendation, Leicester declined an invitation to appear at the Stateside Cup in the United States this summer.

 

But, out of nowhere, Chelsea made an official approach on Monday May 27, and it soon became inevitable that Maresca would leave.

I would say there's an obvious step up from Porto/Sevilla to Chelsea. Those job offers don't come around that often so I can't blame him as such for going back on his word.

 

Obviously a pretty horrible punch in the gut for the club to take but I do think the squad might be better off without Enzo I'm looking forward to Ndidi the CDM (if we can get him to stay), Ricardo the wing back, Souttar, Kristiansen etc.

 

Hermansen

Ricardo Souttar Coady Kristiansen

Ndidi Winks

Fatawu KDH Mavididi

Vardy

 

Without signings I would argue that that is a very solid foundation to build a squad from. 

 

So yeah. Pretty shit news and a lot depends on the new manager - whoever that might be.

And be honest about where we are financially 

[Saxondale]

Chelsea have confirmed it on their site too.

[Quorndon_Fox]

Also going to have to change my ****ing profile picture now, thought id have at least 6 month left of this one.

[ren]

Not bothered at all, he’ll be sacked by Christmas but with the way Chelsea are it won’t hurt his reputation too much. 
 

This presents us with a good opportunity to appoint a manager who has what it takes to keep us up, whereas with Enzo I had serious doubts he’d do that.

Should have asked in the interview then shouldn't he.

 

The guy left at the first chance and we took him from a coaching position, Chelsea wouldn't have done that. Hope he fails there and I have no doubt he will.

 

I just can't wait til he starts moaning again. What will it be this time though, the Chelsea board or the fans.

Depends which way you look at it.

I meant no mention of his next steps. Usually mentions the club he is going to and that compensation has been agreed etc

I'm sure everyone at the club will be shocked by this sudden news. Not least, Top and Rudkin who may now begin to consider the possibility of potentially starting to commence thinking about the process of preparing to look for a replacement.

“I’m sick of Corberan ball. It’s so negative, all this passing side to side. Get it forward. No Plan B. Get this man out the club. The owners are clueless appointing this bloke.”

[Leicesterpool]

Reading this the club do sound pretty peed off.

 

For me better off without, he will be found out at Chelsea.
