After the shit managers that are being named recently, i'm warming up to the idea of Conte here.

To hire someone with zero European experience would be stupid.

We should divide managers/players in two sections only: good and bad. And he is very good end of story. If you want European experience than we should go for Capello and play boring football once again

Just don't bring any "tactical" coach, who will defend with 11 men against any decent opponent. I want to see desire that we can overplay any team in the world. We should hire a manager with passion and desire to work here and to build his own team, he should be given time to bring team back to title race, we shouldn't demand an instant success. I wouldn't mind Eddie Howe here, his team is playing free flowing attacking football with two main attacking players out injured (Wilson and Gradel). My only concern is his age, so I prefer Sampaoli. But Eddie Howe is good, big future ahead of this coach

Now Sparkys getting mentioned, gets a thumbs up from me. Better than some of theother clowns mentioned

Knows the league, has played for us, is Welsh - gets us Bale ;D, and some days we could stick him up front.

According to Duncan Castles Chelsea already have a deal with Pellegrini since weeks ago.

I would love Conte to be our next manager.

In Italy they're giving it as already done for some reason on the second most important channel on tv.

I would still take it with a pinch of salt though, at least until more sources say it's done

agreed, just excited we're finally being seriously linked with a very decent manager (a feasible one)

Are they quoting English sources or actually coming with their own Italian insight?

Neither of the Italian managers (Conte & Allegri) excite me at all. Just think they'd be in over their heads here and be gone within a year or two.

Honestly, if the choice is between those two and Pellegrini I'd have Pellegrini. At least he has great experience working with a top PL club and knows the ins and outs of English football.

 Desperately want Simeone as my #1 choice. He'd make us competitors quickly and has the perfect personality.

Sorry. Have no clue how to delete quotes so I had to post a blank message. I asked if there's a way in the Forum Update thread and got no answer.

When you hover above the quote box you should see a little square with four arrows inside. Left click on that and then press the delete or backspace button. That should work.

Maybe he wouldn't. I'd rather go with the known and proven than the unknown, though. 

As for what he's doing this season I actually can't blame him too much. His best defender and captain has been injured or out all season and he's got can't-be-bothered half the time Yaya who is lazy and doesn't help the team.

Still think they'll win the league in the end.
