Popular Post! Milan 17,959 Posted April 4, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted April 4, 2016 If his brother comes to Chelsea with him, as some rumours say, I might have some inside info, as my boss knows Conte's brother The only thing that annoys me is the bloody EURO or the fact Italy takes part. I wish he was already working with the club, preparing the transfer policy and the super important summer. sainttourist, Fulham Broadway, The Mak and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Head Coach. Not manager. Delighted about the personnel choice, but the role isn't something I agree with. Fuck Emenalo off already.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Come to think of it, what's with the early announcement, it's very un-Chelsea It's as if Roman made a bet with Jose, that he could double sign manager before Jose get any job.

Pizy 18,928 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Imagine the absolute meltdowns and slanderous "fraud" articles that will pop up if Italy crash out early. "Conte will never be able to compete in the PL! He'll be totally out coached." Lot of good that great World Cup placing has done LvG. Hopefully the majority of our supporters realize that what someone does with a national team doesn't necessarily correlate with club work. We've witnessed it with Guus and Ranieri who were shocking in one facet and great in the other. bellion, 11Drogba and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 3 hours ago, Essien19 said: Di Matteo fucked up in the UCL in the second season, maybe the most important competition for big Rom. In my view that shows how quickly game over can become a reality for the Chelsea manager. The same applies for Avb and second place wasn't good enough for Ancelotti to keep his job. Mourinho got away with a trophyless season, but that's Mou. I think Rom is still ruthless, but these days you have to do it with less money, Chelsea job has become one of the most difficult around. Anyway, Conte seems to be up for it, he doesn't take shit from anyone, will be interesting to watch from distance. Mourinho kind of strengthens the point, he had to literally do as bad he did this season to be sacked, if we was as "high" as 10th he would still be here, because of his track track record Roman didn't pull the plug until there was literally no choice. AVB was another Roman wanted to give time to, he didn't even want to sack him and, like with Jose, didn't until there was no other option, 10/11 was such a shit season (despite finishing second) and it was clear AVB would have got time if he say finished 3rd and showed positive signs in a good direction, but he didn't. Carlo, although I would have at the time given him a last year to redeem himself, he fucked up that year, if there was ever a team in a false league position it was us in 10/11, the opening five games when we were still on a title rebound inflated the stats and made that season look better than it was, we are still feeling the effects of that season to this day. While I wanted him to stay at the time in hindsight I'm glad he went, he makes Rafa look flexible in terms of changing things from the bench, did he ever change a game with his subs once for us or even an in game tactical switch for that matter? I mean even Grant had his famous Belletti and Anelka moment vs Arsenal. I honestly believe a season or two without silverware will be accepted if progress is being made, for argument sake next season back in top four with a clear style and blueprint and season two get mid to high 80s but narrowly lose to City, can you see him losing his job? I can't. Fernando, The Skipper, Blue Colored Sky and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illmatic 901 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I just read the news about his signing and it makes me really happy. Have a good trainer is a basic piece for a good project. Welcome to Chelsea Antonio. I hope to celebrate many titles with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickpassnmove 924 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think this one will last. I'm happy he's coming. It's time for change at Chelsea FC. I think the intentions were there with Mourinho coming back, but the squad wasn't good enough back-to-front and Mourinho was arguably not cut out for managing a club that desires to play for more than just the immediate and wishes to play some high tempo passing build-up play. Conte will get some signings, but I'm hoping that, like a good italian, he'll be building from the back and the middle of the park with his selections. Personally, it doesn't bother me that the manager may have limited control over signings at Chelsea; the main thing is that we get more quality and depth from back, to middle, to front. why the hell Oscar and Mikel might last any longer in London is beyond me... but I'm hopeful. Welcome, Antonio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Only head coach what the fuck. Get rid of Emenalo and Granovskaia so that we can start rebuilding the club. Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapkun 668 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Actually he is head coach, instead of manager. The club is making it pretty clear how things work.

Spike 12,049 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Cap this post. Conte will keep Terry. Because after all the fat is trimmed, Chelsea will still need a leader with passion and experience and JT is the only man fit for the job.

Because after all the fat is trimmed, Chelsea will still need a leader with passion and experience and JT is the only man fit for the job. As angry as I was when we initially heard about JT potentially leaving, the more I've thought about it and how Conte needs his defenders to play I'm just not sure he fits. That is unless we play in a 4-3-3 or stick with the same tired 4-2-3-1 we've been playing. If we shield him from midfield with a couple of beats then it could work I guess. Keeping him would also mean there's no top class CB signing, right? Unless Conte has the balls to keep him or Ivanovic on the bench for the majority of the time.
