Man standing his ground, not running away like some pussy and not allowing himself to be bullied out of the club. Nothing but respect for signor Conte.

I lost most of the respect I had for Conte after the recent weeks events. I mean, the club is openly looking for another manager while he still is in charge...instead of keeping his pride and walking away, he is accepting this situation because he does't want to lose the money. I really doubt Mourinho would accept this kind of shit.

tbf, he'd be stupid to purposely walk away with nothing if he knows that he can wait a few weeks and get 9M lol

Course it's about the money always is.

Though for them not to have sacked him yet is odd usually they're quick. Unless they're holding on incase it does all goes complete pear shaped.. Maybe they should've sacked him then started looked.. Usually the way it's done.. So either they're also hoping he'll walk and save them some dosh as well.

Do you honestly believe that fucking hell how many people do you know that would fall on their sword he's a football manager not a missionary.

🇪🇸 Conte to Real Madrid ? (Ex) Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is the number 1 option now in order to replace Zinedine Zidane, according to Marca. Could be the solution of Chelsea problems... #CFC #RealMadrid

But are Madrid prepared to suffer? are they willing to work work work?

 

In all honesty Madrid would be real scary with Conte.

For now the desire of Conte is to respect his agreement with Chelsea. Real have identified him the best profile to replace Zidane but Conte has reiterated his principle: he has not received notice to leave #CFC and has no intention of taking the first step. (via @DiMarzio) #RMCF

 

In the last hours there have been contacts between Real Madrid and Antonio Conte. (via @DiMarzio) #CFC #RMCF

One thing I will be really grateful if Conte leaves is that we will move on from 352 formation. I said last year it is working against English teams, but I'm afraid it will not working in CL, and got some unpleasant response from some in here. Think we should go back to 433 as 352 is starting to not working really well as expected against English teams either it seems.

Well having said that, I loved Conte as a person though, his energetic spirit will be missed most. Thanks for the trophies and memories.

Don’t want him to see out his contract. He can’t get a team that has Hazard, Willian, Cesc and Morata to produce a shot on goal in 90 minutes. 

Hes caused too much drama and none of the players have came out and backed him. 

Not really sure how the club don’t mind spunking millions on shitty players that we never used but won’t sack him and pay his compensation.

Fair enough but last season we played some great football. Effort and performance levels dipped and dropped this year in comparison to last too as well as the club not managing to replace pivotal players with adequate quality in the summer. Fair enough he's caused drama and players have had issues or so it seems but honestly, other than Sarri (who will change our footballing style radically) there aren't many better options out there. Regarding current players, Willian was interviewed and after a clearly frustrating end to the season he seems to be a bit more respectful towards Conte's decision to use him as a sub more and I'd think Luiz will get a clean slate in the summer after the whole disaster with Costa last summer if Conte is in charge still, surely he will have learned.

The club seriously need to decide what their plan is because the longer it takes the less time Conte or the new manager will have to change things, sign players and generally be able to set things in motion for the season. Its quite a joke that it is June but yet nobody is 100% sure if the club is going to sack/keep Conte, based on their actions. We are already behind the Mancs, Liverpool and even Spurs who have gone and tied down their key player to absolutely huge deals and are going to continue to do the same with Alli and Eriksen. We can't even get Hazard and Courtois signed up to new deals and aren't making any moves in the window. Its painful to see how far behind we are what just over a week into the transfer market, United have signed Fred, City are trying to sign Jorginho, Liverpool have Keita, Fabinho and now possibly Fekir...  

[Laylabelle 9,534]

This is the problem we have every 2nd summer or so... Manager sacked so we're pissing about trying to find one why others are making signings. Then again seeing how we had a a manager last year and still did crap.. Maybe less of a shock 

[Unionjack 7,531]

No doubting we are in deep shite. Lets just hope Granny puts down her knitting tomorrow that shes been doing Roman a new Chelsea scarf since the season ended and finally realizes it too. And proves shes not as incompetent as I'm starting to think.

[Henrique 9,133]

Conte removed Costa to replace him with Morata. This is the manager wanted more control in transfer market. lol

And dont come up with bullshit Costa wanted to leave. Drogba tried to force his way out for at least 3 seasons, and the club always told him he wasnt going nowhere. 

[Unionjack 7,531]

So what do we think about Ramos apparently asking the Spanish Chelsea lads their opinions of Conte and he put the kaibosh on him getting the RM job?
