The Next Manager?

To summarily dismiss Conte (which you tend to do for gross misconduct/breach of contract) the club must be absolutely certain they'd come out on top in any legal battle.

 

Not only that, but lawyers will have advised them and given them plenty of confidence that this route will work.  Interesting. 

The Costa text will be one piece of evidence, potentially lost the club millions, and I can only assume he has said or done stuff behind the scenes to really rub the club the wrong way

I liked Conte but you really have to ask the question , if he wasn’t playing games with the board, some of his decisions etc, we could have finished 2nd , he bottled so many games with bad decisions last year , all to prove a point to the board. Like it or not, whoever is right or wrong, he had to go unfortunately.

Sounds like this could get even uglier in a legal sense.

I wouldn't worry about it - it's only such a big deal because it's Chelsea

Any other club in the world would keep the guy in charge for another season , sit back and let him drop more stink bombs in the dressing room to save 9m and keep the media happy. Yea right.

Have we ever done that before? I can't even remember. Even with multiple players?

It would be good tho wouldnt it. Top the headlines everywhere.

What I'm praying for is that he can manage to get us playing like this. His players all manage to look comfortable on the ball. No panic, I;m just unsure we have enough like skilled passers to be able to do it. we might have to do a morph between Conte and Sarriball which I'd also be happy with.

Incredible piece of play there. As good as Barcelona in terms of passing out of the back.... If he is able to accomplish that with us, that would be fantastic.

First job is to make Azpilicueta captain IMO.

Agreed that he should be captain. Especially since Cahill shouldn't be playing, but honestly who has the armband really isn't important. The leaders are going to be leading the team either way.

Yes, sometimes adding the responsibility of the band helps encourage that, but you can encourage the same in many other ways. Real leaders are leading either way. And Azpi already does that.

We need to build an identity within the club, stalwarts that will play for the club and a leader to charge them into battle. No more childish behaviour, moaning in the background, etc. We need unity forward, and if that is Sarri than be it.

I am not so sure that Azpi is even a starter. As a right back, he isn´t the best player in regards to the style Sarri wants us to play.

Don't think we can do without Azpi's work ethic and solidity in defense, be it on a 3 man defence, right back or left back, he must play, no matter what.

Managers accomodate their formations to the players they have and not the other way around, I think Sarri will do so because currently, this team has too many Center backs and cannot cope without Azpi, we need him.

Reckon that Hazard might be the new vice captain though, Cahill could be taking on the Christensen-Rudiger-Sarri challenge this year but I think that he will be gone by January or end of next year.

That goal at 1:33 is incredible! Who even thinks of shooting from there with 1st touch ball coming from behind? :worship:
