Sources: The reactions to Enzo Maresca's comments and what to expect going forward

It's been a dramatic few days

Since Enzo Maresca made those comments on Saturday and then doubled down on them on Monday, it’s been a dramatic and tense few days behind the scenes at Chelsea.

Maresca has stuck to his guns and has not appreciated the criticism he has received from the sporting directors in the last few weeks, in particular after the defeat to Atalanta.

There was a meeting between Maresca and Paul Winstanley, who was joined by Laurence Stewart, after the Atalanta game, and things got very heated, as per a variety of SPTC Sources we have spoken with this week.
