He should be grateful he even has a job after getting battered at home by Bournemouth.

Don't know about this "vote of confidence", we are still in pole position to finish in top 4, even top 3, so we'll see after tonight's game, situation is not that bad. Media have sure blown it out of proportions.

But he for sure wants to stay, and even extend his stay if club wants it too, so that's great.

Huh? Conte spent the whole season complaining about everything there is to complain and appearing unhappy but now wants the board to back him? The manager's position is always gonna get questioned if the team do not get results but Conte put himself in the uncertain position he is now because of his constant moaning. Every time when we have a bad result, he always makes it worse by having a moan about transfers, the team not being good enough etc. He's the one who has been constantly adding fuel to the fire and handing the media the ammunition to speculate over his future and put negative vibes around the club. If he had kept some of the complaints to himself and just focused on getting results, he wouldn't be in a position of having to answer questions about his future every week.

Said it last week, he doesn't give a fuck now, he is more or less asking to be sacked.

Can't wait to see how many of those batterings we will get next season and you asking Enrique or whomever takes over getting sacked. This squad is a fucking joke and were still Top 4. They told him before the transfers period they would back him and lied like frauds, bought Everton players for him and said here train those feckers like you did with Moses and Alonso.

Really hoping that Conte stays and we turn this around but I can't see it. This is all too similar to pre-Mourinho firing but this time it's less down to the manager and more the club. I feel like there's a growing majority here that won't mind him getting sacked but I personally believe he's been treated appallingly not just by the club after delivering a title with a mediocre side, but also by the media, who as usual, are the absolute worst, I know it comes with the territory but shame on them, lowest of the low.

This, quite surprised that many people in this forum want him gone. He delivered a title with a mediocre team, now people expect us to be great yet we lost two key starter from last season in Costa and Matic. We replaced them with much younger not sure better players in Morata and Bakayoko. and we are still in top 4

Luis Enrique is literally the least qualified manager we've been linked to under Roman, full stop. 

 

He got his first proper gig (Roma manager) because they were desperate for apparent quality, and saw that 'Barcelona B's' manager was available. They wouldn't have gone for him had he managed any regular side - it was the Barcelona tag which did it for them - and he brought 0 genius, experimental, 0 progressive energy with him. So anyway, that tenure only lasted 1 year. Couldn't even last beyond a year with Roma.

They expected beautiful Barcelona football; they got more like average, Genoa-tier football.

 

After failing with Roma, 1 fine season with Celta Vigo.

 

Then back to his previous club, to win a few trophies with Suarez/Messi/etc. The worst managers in the world could achieve this same story.

 

Absolutely universes away from being good enough for the Chelsea we're supposed to be. His quality would barely have us fighting for top 4.

Juventus went from Conte to Allegri (sickening enough, I surely wouldn't be able to take it.) Imagine they went from Conte to Luis Enrique instead [emoji38]

But they take their club seriously.

''It meant a final position of seventh – Roma’s lowest position in a decade – and failure to qualify for European competition. Luis Enrique declared that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, stating: “I had another year on the contract but didn’t feel that I had any more to give Roma. It let me see other players and other ways of playing the game.”''

I just hope we dont make a mistake and hire him. He doesnt know how to build teams, it will be a disaster for us and reality check for him when he gets to our club and realizes he has to cope with the likes of bakayoko, moses, zapacosta, drinkwater, alonso and cahill as our first team players.

[Pizy 18,993]

Yeah, people calling for Conte to be sacked will be sorry. He's still the best out of any of the available managers. Hiring a mediocre (maybe worse?) manager like Luis Enrique who has done nothing and combining it with our clubs transfer policy and the very real possibility that we lose Hazard and Courtois would be a disaster. Like, we'd probably be finishing 6th-7th next season disaster.

We have to give him until at least the end of the season. If we finish in the top 4 and there's a decent mode around the club then he should stay and be given some proper investment into his priority targets.

There's no need to get all touchy about Conte whenever someone says something negative.

He’s right though, no matter what he says or does there are you guys to criticize him. It doesn’t matter that he wants what we want, you keep condemning the man who wants Chelsea to show some ambition.

You guys are so fickle. Most of you sound like the journalists out there who work tirelessly to destabilize the club.

And I’m sorry but to be a supporter means to support the club. The club is the staff, players and manager. If you can’t show support in time of need don’t call yourself a supporter, you’re probably closer to a fan or fanboy.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

What kind of training has he got them doing ?
Barkley has pulled his hamstring now. That's 8 hamstrings this season and 5 in the last month.

So not the amount of games but how they train? I’m pretty sure it has to do with the amount of games for such a thin squad.

And also these so called supporters who seem to be lapping up everything the journos throw at the club.

Congratulations guys! You’ve allowed the outside noise to destabilize the club. You have become so fickle it’s embarrassing! One minute you are singing the praises of conte for delivering the title from 10th and the next you want him out for not playing Hudson-odoi or letting Matic go. The same Matic everyone wanted gone because he was so poor in the second half of the year.

This generation of Chelsea supporter is in the mold of the maniacal owner who fires a manager in the tunnel of the last game for finishing 2nd. This is what you have become.

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Let' hope he sees out his third year and leaves the squad in a healthy condition.

For the record, I never said I disagreed with him. I'm just tired of Conte repeating the same old thing every week till the point it sounds like he's complaining and he couldn't give a shit anymore. It's even worse when he does it after a bad result because it only adds further negative vibes around the team. Also, funny you mentioned about other destabilizing the club when Conte constantly gives ammunition to the media to do so on weekly basis.

If you’re asked the same questions week after week after week you expect the answer to change?

The guy is honest and says what he means, if the media find ways to spin stories it’s up to you to figure out how he intended it. I watch all his pressers so I get a clear understanding of what he means. You should do the same.
