I don't buy it, they are allowing those stories to continue because they are (partially) true. 11Drogba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that the club hasn't actually said anything about Conte leaving (or staying), this is exactly the problem. Since May, they have let the papers talk all this "nonsense" - I remember when we had the speculation after winning the league, not even to this magnitude but they backed him with a new contract, this time, there is not even a statement. Can we draw a line under people asking why the club don't come out and clarify press speculation. No club comes out to deny every bit of media speculation because guess what...youd be at it all day every day because that's what/all the press do. People should really have realised by now that the only media outlet you should believe is chelsea official website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, Chelsea need to move forward with either business as usual or relieve Conte of his duties. You can't undermine an active coach with a press release. However I think we can all agree that every part of this situation has been a disaster from all parties involved. We all are equally frustrated with this situation.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 We've been waiting for the Vitality UK insurance contract to start before announcing new signings or clarify the managerial situation. Have to have a photo of the new boys filling out Vitality paperwork. Note: This is tongue in cheek for anyone who doesn't remember the ridiculous "Nike contract" delays of last summer.

dreamcfc 182 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I don't believe any of this speculation to be honest, this Sarri and Jorginho double deal bullshit, that we need to pay £20m for Sarri etc, it's all garbage I know, what's clear, and has been clear since the beginning of 2018 is that our manager isn't motivated for whatever reason and has lost our dressing room, the manager has been making digs at the club, he clearly said on live TV that he don't know if he's going to be here after the FA cup... so they should respond to it and sort it out during the off season, which they have failed to do, it's not all garbage speculation. to top it all off they are just taking the problem in to next season, and you wonder why people are frustrated.

It's not a case of some silly transfer rumours or whatever, it's about the club imploding in front of the whole footballing world. We are already a laughing stock...the hit our reputation takes can affect club's revenue not in a positive way. So yeah, a statement would have been by far the cheapest option to put these speculations to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireBlue 3,295 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Think we can all agree here.... nobody knows fuck all on this shit storm of situation and sarri announcement??? Eveey fucking week now. I want sarri here but am so tired of the endless merry go round of shit. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-3001 286 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Its not just smoke. If Chelsea weren't approaching Sarri, Zola's interview wouldn't have happened. He's pretty much confirmed that there are talks for sure. It's just that what's the hold up and what are the details, that we don't know, and everyone's just guessing at the moment.

That kind of story would be not only reported by Sports tabloids, but it'd be in the general news domain too. Absolute rubbish, surely? 1. Are we suddenly not paying any money to overseas deals which we are paying in installments? Unlikely 2. Women's team are still purchasing overseas players 3. We can't appoint Sarri then? They forget if we may lose Seri because we cant transfer funds abroad, we cant have Sarri then. I dont see this funds stuff having one iota of truth Add to that, if we cant send money abroad due to government, we can't bring in money from abroad. So every single loan abroad lads the clubs are paying zilch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see this funds stuff having one iota of truth I agree and if this is indeed BS like we suspect, then the state of journalism went down the drains even more than I thought (these journalists have 38K and 18K followers respectively) Trying to see if any UK based journos are talking about this and so far no one is...
