The Conte Thread

[Fernando 6,375]

That was great to see at the end. 

Really enjoy having this man. 

[Fulham Broadway 16,392]

He was getting more carried away than a lot of the fans at the end yesterday, superb to see. I love his energy and passion, but at the same time the way he's so measured before and after games. It's genuinely refreshing not hearing some bollocks in an attempt at (not so subtle) misdirection - He tells it like it is, but still protects the players (note how he didn't say a thing about the virus after the Utd game and instead blamed himself for the team and formation he put out).

Even if we didn't end up winning anything, it's been a tremendous season in the context of how things panned out last season.

Give him whatever he asks for in the summer and we're in for a treat over the next few seasons....

‘Whether it’s Conte, [Stefano] Pioli, [Roberto] Mancini or [Claudio] Ranieri, I will support them in any case.

‘I want them to win, I want the Inter fans to be happy.’

Asked if Conte looks more like him, Mourinho joked: ‘No, he has black hair, and I’ve got white.’

This man deserves so much credit. I mean last summer we were pretty much clueless what to expect from the upcoming season and in September many of us thought can´t compete for a top 4 place. Now we are pretty much champions. Thanks Don Antonio.

I told you that with Conte Chelsea had very high chance of winning. Staying focused however is not over yet.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Emotions are high but I think what Conte achieved is even harder than what Jose achieved in 04/05.

Incredible how he turned this team into PL champions, we'll forever be grateful for his job, even tough we all know next season will be hard like hell and players will sleep.

Right mate. Good luck against Real in the Champions League final, I hope you win it. You have a great team and deserve it.

[Fernando 6,375]

Well that's pretty much it.

Now I can sit back and relax, look forward to the summer and see the players we can get. Because this one will not be repeated with these players, especially if we lose some of them. 

Hopefully the club does everything to get all of Conte targets. He deserves to get whatever player he wants after this season.

We still have to get to the final . With Real it will be difficult but we can do it if we play the perfect match.

Antonio Conte is unlikely to stay at Stamford Bridge for the remainder of the three years on his deal with the club, claimed the Sunday Supplement panel.

If the club doesn't back him with transfers etc. he WILL leave.

 

It's the main reason he left Juventus. Because he felt the Juve board didn't back him enough. And Juve is his dream club so that says something.

Roman needs to do everything in his power to stop that from happening

Indeed because I don't know a name at the moment of a manager who might do even better than Conte right now.

Simeone and Pochettino only the managers I can think off who could  do a good job if Conte was to leave fingers crossed that never happens I want conte to be are Alex Ferguson at are club

I don't really like Simeone's style of football..not that Antonio is the most offensive minded trainer around but still.

Poch is already too far up Spurs' asses. 

 

Conte has to stay at Chelsea for the long-term. We are craving for a manager to stay longer than 4 years and not getting axed by Roman.

Simeone is rather similar to Conte and while I don't think his style of play is negative, it can approach that territory and end up similar to what Mourinho does in the big games. What I would say though is he might be a bit more expansive if he has the players for it. Simeone has tried to make them more attacking this season but it's rather failed as Atletico don't have the right players for it.

As for Pochettino, he does play good football and build good, solid teams but there's a huge question mark over his ability to get his teams perform under real pressure. Spurs cracked under it last season in the title race and similar thing happened again this time around. They also bottled a League Cup final, a straightforward Champions League group, the Europa League tie against Gent and the FA Cup semi-final. And not to mention, Pochettino threw away the cup competitions by rotating his side while at Southampton.

Conte staying longer will depend a lot on how we do in the Champions League, and keep doing well domestically, it would be great to win the Champions League again someday, but with Real Madrid and co around its just too much to ask these days, maybe with the right players available we could give it a push again, i miss seeing us competing in the latter stages of the competition.
