This is my opinion..Yes Conte has his faults...

Look at that squad most of them are average players who are playing above their level..I agree with his opinion that we must be realistic..If we are in top 4 at end of the season that is successful

I have never seen a more honest manager than conte...He speaks what he has in his heart...English is not his native language... So some of his words are lost in  the translation..Even in yesterday's conference he did not give any excuses when many of us are expecting it..I just hope he rejuvenates this team and get us into the winning mood..I want us to back him as long as he stays

 

So true.

There is just no simple answer or simple solution here.

Awful management from Abramovich and his Board already makes Chelsea looking like a long term project in problems. They’ve spent +£400m since Antonio’s arrival and the only player works for Chelsea is Kante, mostly. 

I would be the first to criticize Conte for bad results if Roman signed for him some of our first on the list targets we were after for 2 years but we missed on every single one of them replacing potentially world class signings with not even close level players.

There is no coach in the world good enough for this club, this level players and an owner like Roman Abramovich.

i can't believe he still is in charge after yesterday result.

If we were where Arsenal currently are (very slim chance at top 4) I think Conte would've been sacked after last night. Since we're still right in the thick of a battle for top 4 and Conte clearly hasn't lost the dressing room yet he doesn't deserve the sack.

I literally came here to post this exact message, word for word. I was watching out for the news all day. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

People are going to be sorry for hoping Conte is sacked when we hire Marco Silva or Luis Enrique to replace him. Two managers who I feel would be disasters akin to AVB.

Be careful what you wish for.

Can't be any worse than what we're watching now. Live a little.

It could be worse. Conte is one of the best managers in the world. The current favorite to replace him has accomplished and proven nothing.

That's why he interests us, a blank canvas so he can be like a rabbit in the headlights and the board can bully him with cheap shit signings and he will role with it.

Conte should see out th season. That way we can get a better manager in than we could now and settle the deal with him regardless. The only reason to seperate was if he put the top4 in danger. 

Luis Enrique seems to be nailed on and is available now. Conte's got a massive game on Monday

Luis Enrique is an absolute wildcard IMO. he won the CL with barca yes, but he had the 3 best players in the world.  I am not sure how much credit you can give him for this. He will be available in summer too as might Allegri and Simeone.

I never said he would be my choice but several reports are pointing his way. We seriously need an identity going forward

Before Conte was appointed he was far from an exciting name. Nobody here was saying "OMG, we are getting Conte!!! That guy is dope as fuck!!!". People got on board the hype train after Italy good run in 2016 Euro.  If Conte is sacked and a new manager achieve some success, everybody will forget Conte, and will say the same things people are saying now about Conte:

-How can we sack Luis Enrique after what he achieved in the past, specially when people are saying we replace him with Tom, Dick or Harry? 

I remember 8 years ago I was the only member here asking Carlo Ancelotti to get fired, while people was saying he had to say 10 years. Weeks ago there was a rumor that the board was considering his name to replace Conte, and the consensus here was it was going to be a pretty stupid thing to do.

At this point I can't understand people that don't realize Conte is limited as fuck. For me its pretty clear its not a question of not getting enough players. If we had better players we would still be playing with the same strategy, and with the same system that is created around the 3CB idea. Conte is a manager coming directly from he past century. There us circlejerk around that Conte is the victim of "the board" because he is not getting the players he want. 

Pretty funny, because none of the players the wanted would really improve the team. He wanted Lukaku, Sandro and Van Dijki. Lukaku is a downgrade on Diego Costa (and so is Morata). The last thing this squad need is another ultra expensive CB, and while many people here talk about Sandro as he was Roberto Carlos or Cafu, he is not the kind of player that would avoid the team losing 3-0 for Bornemouth. 

Conte is also showing a character that is even more annoying than Mourinho's worst side. To be honest I can't wait to see he leaving.

Antonio Conte is "eager" to return to his previous job as Italy manager, according to the new president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) Roberto Fabbricini.

I just don't get understand how anybody can really want Antonio Conte to stay beyond this season. 

Beyond just the "football" he has this team playing, we've all read the reports about what happened this summer where Conte ignored Marina/Emenalo for 3-4 weeks and we've seen Conte's incessant complaints about how Chelsea operate in the transfer window. He was just asked about the signing of Emerson Palmieri and his response was "idk much about him." The writing is there for everybody to see: Marina and Conte will never see eye-to-eye or have a good professional relationship. And because Marina won't be leaving Chelsea at anytime soon, why continue such a toxic relationship?
