If we put the decision to remove Sterling from the squad down to the board, we take away credit from Maresca. I am sure it was Maresca that decided he did not want to work with Sterling because he did not work hard enough and put in the effort Maresca wanted. He deserves some credit for that. He also knows his job is on the line if Chelsea do not perform well when the new season starts.

Yes not gonna lie, Enzo Mascara played an important role, he made it easier for the board to get rid of Sterling and Chilwell although Sterling loan didn't go as planned and we're still at the losing end. it up to the club to find a new club who are ready to pay his wages and transfer fees.

If he (Sterling) had broken into the first IX, it would have been difficult for the board to force him out. At least if you're earning way too much, show some commitments too.
