xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 #Chelsea wanted to wait until after the second leg against PSG to go public with Conte because they didn't want any distractions. [Standard] Conte also wants all the talk over his future ended so he can concentrate on Italy's preparations for the tournament in France.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Since we are effectively playing exhibition matches until the end of the season, I wouldn't be against the idea of Conte asking Guus to try a few things out to see if they work and what's missing. The City and Spurs matches are super-important still, but would like them to try and experiment in some of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I'm not forever grateful to a sketchy fucking oligarch. if you are truly a chelsea fan and you like to see our club do well, you SHOULD be forever grateful to a man who invested more than 1 billion pounds of his own money into our club precisely so it could thrive and we could all rejoice in that success.

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 It would help if he would know what he wants out of this club, really. 1 billion spent on this club, 12 years later and we are arguably worse than we were before his arrival. He injected some quick fixes to bring us up and compete with the european giants right away, but then what? I believe the golden era it's well over already, the match to see us out from it was the PSG one at the Bridge. In europe we've bee shite since around 2010, CL win notwithstanding, after the core of players comprising Lamps, Drogba, Essien, Carvalho, Cole etc left we were some sort of Arsenal replica (2012/13) He surrounds himself with muppets and yes-men, the list could go on and on. I'm excited about Conte taking over, but realistically, how much will it last if they try to put reins on him? A few months? Reports already say he's not to build a new team but give an "identity" to this team, if José didn't manage that, i can't see anyone else capable of pulling it off. This is more a case of being grateful for the money, but please fuck off and let this football club be run by football people.

KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 i am sorry but if A. Conte doesn't take Chelsea FC Managerial Job 100% seriously from the moment he is 100% confirmed as Chelsea manager and doesn't step down immediately from italy manager job before Euros. He gets a F- Rating from me and we don't need a manager like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't think it's that easy, he's under contract and we or him would need to buy his contract out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I don't see Italy going that far in Euros. that's why Conte needs to step down because Italy have no chance. the last 4 Teams for Euros 2016 will be. http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2016/standings/index.html Germany Spain France Belgium Italy no chance unless they all click together and have better chemistry. the last few years prove that Italy have no chance.

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Might as well not sign the contract over here with Chelsea then. I didn't sign because the poor souls have no chance of lifting themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why international managers manager's contracts usually end after major tournaments. It's the culmination of 2 years hard work. I don't think City fans expected Pep to quit Bayern right before the knock-out stages of the CL started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
