Media whores were saying Wenger was going to PSG yesterday

Imagine being PSG and wanting Antonio Conte. Makes little to no sense for PSG imo.

Thing is bud he don't want to stay.

And he's on borrowed time with the board.

And the players are never going to try for him, patently obvious Sunday.

I wouldn't go that far yet...the players seemed to stick their one task which was just to nullify City's attack, and were mostly successful barring that one mistake from Alonso.

Sticking to the task is one thing but not putting in the energy and intensity in the performance is another.

Yeah that's true...was just stating that it did not look like an outright mutiny

Thank you for the two seasons. 

Hope you do great at PSG!

Conte has prepared the game really well, I think you are given more blame than he has!

Can't blame him for tonight.

and take your suffering with you.

He was decent in the clash against Barcelona...but we were facing Barcelona so early in knockout stage because of poor performances against Roma in group stage.

Not to mention the team is now 5th in PL table and with few hope of playing UCL next season, this combined with some of the most embarrassing performances Chelsea produced in years, and with the fact he asked our most important player to leave and replaced him with a guy that watched both games against Barcelona from the bench is more than enough to fire him as soon as possible.

Conte is no more than an ordinary manager. His has a mediocre CV, and there is nothing special in his career so far that can justify giving him one more year. He won things with Juventus in Italy, yes, but winning things with Juventus in Italy in recent years became easier than winning things with Barcelona in Spain. He did a good job with Italy in Euro 16, yes, but winning things at International level (he didn't even win by the way) don't prove anything about what a manager can do at club level.

Time to go Conte. Thanks for the Premier League last season, but its time to move on.

Didn't get it to wrong tonight. Majority of the team turned up and if not for some dodgy moments was a chance for job done. Unfortunately job shouldve been done in the groups. Then again even then still couldve lost to whoever

Get this fraud out of the club. Watch him try and spin a 3-0 loss to something positive. Ever since he decided to be a coward vs City and not even play he seemed to lose half of the dressing room.

I just read a Conte quote which tells me everything I need to know about him.

When discussing Juventus' Champions League chances, Conte replied: "You can't go to a €100 restaurant with €10." Since Conte left, Juventus have been to the Champions League final twice.

He is Mourinho lite.

 

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I can't wait to see the back of him. Thanks for the title after the disastrous final Mou season but i'lll gladly help him back his bags to Turin.

For me personally Conte is the right man for the job, but frankly I think he wants to leave more than we want him to stay. I wish that for the first time Chelsea would show the world that they can trust the manager after a poor season and give him another go. But unfortunately we know it won't happen. Just look at United and the differences between the two boards - what Mourinho has done there this season is borderline pathetic. No title challenge and knocked out by the team sitting 5th in Spain and with a worst defensive record that Leganes and Girona, dumped out of League Cup by a Championship side, all this having a squad filled with 90M players and a 600k/pw one. But he will get another season, this is what I am sure of. 

While Conte will surely get the sack after having had to do w/o an out of form centre forward all season, poor full backs and a one man midfield all season as Kante had no decent partner since August! To me it looked like he played all alone in the centre of the park all season long...

Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Emerson, Barkley. Add to this a totally out of form Morata that has struggled to cope with the PL all season - Compare this to the other teams' transfer dealings... You just can't expect anybody to mount a title challenge and a long UCL run with this transfers. 

Conte is stubborn and would pick a fight with everybody, but you can't expect him to do miracle after miracle while others spend big on best players.
