When fans turn on their manager, the writing is on the wall. The atmosphere towards Maurizio Sarri during Chelsea’s defeat by Manchester United was vitriolic.
I cannot recall the last time Chelsea supporters sang, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ to one of their managers. This is not a handful of disgruntled fans. The crowd has turned.
How can the club have any faith in Sarri going into a Carabao Cup final against a Manchester City side who battered Chelsea 6-0 only a fortnight ago? It is time to install a caretaker until the end of the season.
