Polo7 3,496 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Cannot believe the board / owner have decided not to back the manager. Disgraceful. Looks like he will leave in the summer. I actually really like Conte. Doesnt take shit for Jose either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United finding a manager like him is the equivalent of winning the Euromillions Wasn't Fergie nearly sacked at United though. He had a really poor start! Then once he stamped his authoirty down and his idea of how the club should move forward, they became undeniable for a long time. I know Fergie is a one off but to expect a manager to get it right straight from the off and to maintain that success is becoming harder and harder. Especially now the other clubs in England have caught up with us financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose came back won nothing and kept his job, i know it's easy to say it was Jose but also there was clear signs in that season we were heading on a good path and (in terms of progression) was probably our best for quite some time.

J.F. 1,484 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 "He's a great player and he knows very well that in my first season in Juventus we tried to buy him from Udinese and then he decided to go to Udinese," said Conte. "I have great admiration for great players, I think Alexis Sanchez is one of these players. "If Manchester City want Alexis Sanchez, they buy Alexis Sanchez and they don't have problem. "I think it's a good investment because we are talking about a top player and I'm hearing that the amount is around £20m. If you buy Alexis Sanchez with a normal price maybe 80 or 90 million euros."

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Conte To Beat Record Held By Mourinho If Chelsea Defeat Ndidi's Leicester Italian manager Antonio Conte might surpass a record he currently shares with his bitter rival Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti if Chelsea beat Wilfred Ndidi's Leicester City at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. The three managers accumulated twenty five wins in their first thirty Premier League home matches. As at match day 22, Conte had 25 wins, 4 losses and one draw in his first 30 Premier League home games. Liverpool and Crystal Palace recorded wins at Stamford Bridge in Conte's first season in England, and he started this season with a defeat to Burnley before losing to Manchester City. Mourinho and Ancelotti failed to win their 31st home match, drawing 1-1 and losing 1-0 against Charlton Athletic and Liverpool respectively.

Popular Post! BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 13, 2018 Popular Post! Share Posted January 13, 2018 What Conte is doing with the sack of shit some of you refer to as "our best XI", is nothing short of miraculous. We won the league thanks to his revolutionary decision to do something that (in my opinion) had not been done consistently successfully in England before by switching to the back three. Let me just state that again - we won the league with a right-back, Gary Cahill, and David fucking Luiz as our three CBs. Miracle worker. He'll go to another huge club and piss the league there, too. yuvala, 11Drogba, El P. and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 We need some answers. Why did the fraud Bakayoko survive 90 mins while our game-changer Hazard didn't? Not acceptable, this is on Conte. The Chels, 11Drogba and MrExcalibur100 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope anyone who does pull that fucks off in the summer... Liverpool could be way ahead of and should be if didn't have their dodgy defending. They have Salah to score for fun and we have no one it seems I don't get it! Last season things went dodgy so he changed things and it paid off! Why carry on this time with what is costing us points. This feels like such a long season already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
