First, the following was mentioned in David Ornstein’s piece on Enzo Maresca’s upcoming move to Chelsea for The Athletic:
“Chelsea is reportedly cognizant of the inconvenience given to Leicester before to their Premier League comeback and grateful for the grace and expertise they demonstrated throughThe Club is disappointed that Enzo has decided at this juncture that he no longer wants to be a part of our mission, especially considering the excellent foundations laid during his one season in command.
The statement in Ornstein’s article is an example of the kind of big six client journalism that is so patronizing and nauseating that it contributes nothing to anybody. It paints Leicester as little more than a feeder club to one of the people who is mostly to blame for the financial misery that is elite English football.However, it gave Leicester the chance to act professionally in handling Maresca’s departure in public.

It’s interesting to look back at the statement published by Brighton when Chelsea last poached an up-and-coming manager.
