Again, I love how people think changing managers is the way to solve the problem we have at our club.

It won't solve all the problems, but it would be a positive step in the right direction, just like sacking Jose was.

 the effort today was shocking. Unsure about the mentality of some of the players too. If we had a Terry, Ballack, Drogba or a Lampard in the side, they’d be telling people what they thought of that today. Hope Conte had a good go at them too.

Lets not pretend those lot weren't partial to these type of games, for the duration of 10/11 and then under AVB, they were churning these type of displays up like they were going out of fashion.

It won’t solve any. The main problems will remain at the club with their massive paychecks. Simple as.

Then how we ended up in similar situation again? What exactly changed in club' approach after Jose was sacked?

I wouldn't say being 5th is the same as being 16th.....

either you change or sack board members... Conte just have to fukc off... I can't stand a manager so defensive and negative... Suffering without the ball against Newcastle...

Much as I think he has to go after the cup final, I just don't see what Sarri or anyone else is going to do with many or our players who seem unmovable in the summer. Bakayoko ain't suddenly going to develop a silky touch and be able to pass like Busquets. He's not going to develop football intelligence in a single summer. And I can't even fathom the club selling him 1 year after buying him for £40m. Drinkwater cost 35 fucking million and unless the club take a massive bath I can't see him being sold right away. 

I have this bad feeling that we'll do just a couple of deals and the club will hope our next manager can suddenly turn our current average lot into title challengers. Like, I'll be very pleasantly surprised if there is more than 1 new player in our best XI on opening day.

That's it!!! We spent money but on crap... Should get a refund as like you say they won't sell them and if do be a cut as they've hardly proven a high price tag. No one pay that much.. Except us 

New manager is in for a tough time... Like everyone we've had so far really. Making magic from sod all

[Special Juan 28,122]

The board have a lot to answer for, but so do Conte's team selections.

The club, the management and everything else is a bit of a shambles right now.

[Pizy 18,864]

We'll even have to think about refreshing some of our players the fans like but simply aren't good enough anymore. The likes of Willian, Cesc, and Pedro. All players I really like but who are/will be 30+ and on the decline. Pedro and Willian are wildly inconsistent and Cesc has somehow become even less mobile than he was when he arrived. None of those 3 should be every match players for a side with title winning ambitions next season.

Then we have players who are straight up average and wouldn't look out of place at a 8th-12th placed side like Cahill, DD, Zappa, Barkley. The club would have to sell off so many just for us to start to get better. 

And while considering all of that we also have to think about Hazard and Courtois going. This summer is going to be insane.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

And the annoying thing is you know it was coming! After last season yeah we won the league but t obvious cracks that are more obvious now. From day one it was clear it'd be tough and lo and behold it was. 

Crazy how quick it fell apart. 

[Fernando 6,585]

The board that sold Salah, but much rather put the blame on the coach. 

If coach goes, so should those making decisions.
