Sarri must know exactly how Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich feels about the game billed as the ‘Final Whistle on Hate’ in Boston. A report on Wednesday claimed he would be sacked after the Europa League final in Baku regardless of the result and cited, among other reasons, his attitude towards the Boston game. There are echoes here of last year, with Chelsea heading into an FA Cup final with tension around the position of Antonio Conte. Chelsea were beaten at home by Manchester United in the FA Cup and fans turned against the manager. Which way Chelsea jump on the transfer ban will be a major factor in the manager’s future.
