BBC (Simon Stone) now reporting Conte will stay in charge, at least for now.

A sacking was not disscused in the wake of recent results, mainly because we're still in 2 competitions and in top 4, like almost everyone predicted it's the mainly reason.

 

So, I guess a trashing by Barca may get him sack eventually?

Pretty silly to imagine sacking Conte was not even discussed.

Depressing, borderline heartbreaking news. Losing to WBA against the likes of f**king Rondon, Hegazi and Chris Brunt by 2 or more goals now seems very likely. It's so depressing to envision.

Rondon is better than the past few strikers we have lost against.

Well it looks like he won't be sacked certainly not til the end of season, as we're still in 2 cup competitions and a chance of a top four finish.......more chance of me being elected pope

Then I think they will either sack him or leave by mutual consent.

For me, the only reason he hasn't been sacked is they are lining up his replacement.

Agree with this, I think they'll have plans in place for next season and believed they could get by until the end of the season with Conte. After the last week or so, they will want to accelerate those plans and that doesn't happen over night (certainly not with this board).

The only thing is his favour is he hasn't got the dreaded "Assurances from the board his position is safe" they usually get the sack next day

In all fairness, he did warn us about a “Mourinho season”. 

What so were 1 point of relegation?

Maybe Roman won’t sack him because he can’t find any decent replacement. Listening to rumors in last 24h everyone is turning their phones off when Chelsea FC calls.

 would not be surprised if that was based on fact that there is not currently an official opening...most managers/coaches would not want to be the guy that took another coaches job when he currently is still in employment.

[Henrique 9,133]

Sky Sports reporting he will remain, and the club is not seeking replacements. 

Pretty sad if true. Season is doomed.

We are truly fucked for the next few years. How have we ended up here?

No oversight by the board. We need a decent sporting director. Signings, outgoings and managers are all jumbled together like a patch quilt.

Maybe just maybe this is a blessing in disguise conte wanted the board to publicly back him and that appears to have happend. Hopefully this can be a turning point and conte shows some desire.
