Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Conte could be a special one perhaps you know take a championship winning team into relegation fodder in a matter of months. Or like another Italian manager take a team who just survived relegation and is full of rejects and journeyman and turn them into almost definite champions without spending a fortune and alienating and pissing everyone off he comes in contact with.

Popular Post! kmk108 1,186 Posted April 4, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted April 4, 2016 If calling him "head coach" isn't just a matter of semantics, I can see this blowing up very quickly. He seems like the kind of guy that wants to make the big decisions, and if he's got the board poking around his office the entire time, I can see this getting ugly fast. This club needs to realize that what's happened this season isn't down to the manager alone. It's on everyone at the club.

The Mak 4,459 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Fuck the head coach role. More shite transfers from Emenalo and co. We are fucked. Good luck Antonio.

BlueStorm1003 539 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I just hope he does well. The fact that emenalo is still around makes me fear for Conte´s job. Regardless of what might happen, welcome to the greatest clun in london! Here´s for the titles that many of us hope you´ll bring along!

Maybe I'm wrong and he'll be given more control than I'm imagining. I'm not against higher ups with knowledge of the game (not just interest in big star shirt sales and interest) making decisions, but if Conte has players he wants, they should be a priority. A competent board with a good vision is ideal, but I'll take any step up from what we've got going on now. The board need to look internally instead of externally when considering the future. Conte will come in and create a philosophy on the pitch, but that has to be supported by the decisions made by the board in order for it to be successful.

Hazard, Courtois, KDB and Azpilicueta are part of the "shite transfers from Emenalo and co". Like I alluded to before, managers having full control is a notion that is gone, Wenger is the last of the dying breed. I apologise if I'm wrong but aren't you one of the ones upset about Mata,Kevin, Romelu sale? That was one of the aspect's Jose got given full control over, im guessing you would have preferred Emenalo and co to have " interfeared " there? Before last summer our transfer record has been pretty good ever since 2011 (Torres aside), even last summer we would have been singing a whole different tune if Pogba and Stones arrived, as rumour has it we were going all out for the former and our pursuit of the latter is hardly a secret.

He led us a couple points off the relegation zone after 16 games. 9 losses, 3 draws and only 4 wins. He was done, out of ideas and fully deserved the sack. Get over it. And don't start with the "he wasn't backed in the transferwindow. That's not an excuse for the disastrous season he lead us into. The Jose Mourinho that arrived in 2004 was the best manager this club ever had. The Jose Mourinho that arrived here in 2013 wasn't even close to the one in 2004. I don't know what exactly happened at Real Madrid but it changed him in a really bad way.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 As already said, nobody should be poking around his desk, let him conduct things, let him make decisions who comes and who go's and most of all back with money for whatever is needed. This season has been the biggest slap in the fucking face ever, DO NOT let it happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This club needs to realize that what's happened this season isn't down to the manager alone. It's on everyone at the club. Mourinho was a "manager" yet you feels he hadn't got much control over tranfers. Pochettino is a "head coach" yet you feel the squad is shaped under his direction. Board tries to sign the players from managers order but they have to be financially viable, something that Mourinho mentioned. They work in a group, he is the football man, then there's a team responsible for negotiations and the team responsible for financial impact. Not longer than 2 years ago Mourinho praised fantastic work done by the small teams in the club responsible for their duties and said that the transfer window could be closed on 19th of July. Then there was last summer window when Chelsea failed with matching enourmous demands from the clubs for their players, more than anything. There was a dilemma between going for big but unprobable or settling for lesser targets. All in all, both Mourinho and Pochettino work in similar conditions. So head coach Antonio Conte has to deal with other teams withing the club responsible e.g. financial aspect of the transfers. But no doubt club will try to go for his targets and the players we're linked with at the moment are great, you can't do bad if you pull something off this.

Popular Post! Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted April 5, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted April 5, 2016 Where's the praise for the board ? Not long ago Chelsea were linked with Hughes, Howe, Pellegrini. Not they signed one of the best in buisness 3 months before pre-season begins. Back to the good that was produced in 2014 and prior. It's great that everything is now settled so for this one they're due respect. And it just confirms they're not as clueless as some people think they are. Last summer just clouds your judgment. I guess they have to pull this Pogba off for some to believe in them again. Tomo, Muzchap, Blue-in-me-Veins and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but I don't think Conte is the kind of a man who says yes to things if he doesn't have a strong say in matters like transfer targets etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
