The Next Manager?

[Dimitr 488]

Cor Sport | Sarri must find a solution to free himself from Napoli or Abramovich may decide to keep Antonio Conte for next season. Whoever turns up on July 8 for start of #Chelsea’s pre-season training will coach Chelsea this season. #CFC

what a mess

You'd think Sarri was locked in Guantanamo Bay the way things are going.

[Pizy 18,451]

What top players are going to want to sign for essentially a lame duck manager everyone knows the club wanted rid of? Why the hell would our players who have criticized how we played last season want more of the same? There would be a cloud hanging over us from minute 1 and every press conference will be questions about his future and relationship with the club. One poor run of results and Conte will be risking the sack.

The only way I can see Conte staying and being successful is if we lock Hazard down for another contract and we go al out in the window and bring in 4-5 top players. The fans can then rally around him and back him like we always have done. But that feels impossible now. He must go or this season is doomed from the start.

Antonio Conte will begin preparing his Chelsea players for the new season at Cobham on Monday unless he is sacked before then, sources have told ESPN FC.

Not you, but fucking talk about stating the obvious.

Hmmm...I could do with a career change.  First come, first serve?  Or cheapest option?  I'll bring my Football Manager records with me in case there's any competition.  Already dreaming of that sweet pay-off.

Groundhog Day.

Conte staying on would end in a complete meltdown. 

Surely Roman isn't seriously considering this.

[dreamcfc 182]

It's a bad time right now, we have fans getting excited by twitter rumours that we are going to massively outbid Real Madrid for a goalkeeper, yet we don't even know who our manager will be next season. I would love to believe these rumours but we all know it's not going to happen. I hope I am eating my words in the next couple of weeks.

Never mind, don't panic they're still time.. People overacting this never happens with Chelsea..... 

Blahhh. Who can say their not surprised though... 

[Starman60 1,343]

In fairness to Conte you cant expect him to meekly resign and walk away, and he has, at the moment every right to think he will take pre-season training. But by now, the fucking board should have sacked him if they are looking for a new manager,  whether or not a new manager was lined up. At least we would then have some credible idea that the club wanted change. As it is, it's "Will he stay or is he going" and it's bloody frustrating.

I am really surprised that Roman has allowed this situation to drag on so long over mere peanuts considering his wealth. At the end of the day he has the last say but is saying nothing.If it was my job I'd fire the arse of the board for allowing this to drag on so long. Someone's head needs to roll over this utter fiasco.

[Special Juan 27,449]

This is simply a problem with the board, not Conte, not anyone else. If the club thought he was surplus to requirements he should of been gone at the latest a week after the FA Cup final, period. Sarri hasn't just been identified in the last week, he was identified a while back. This a theme, this is the board scraping and trying to chunk the odd million off the price of terminating ANOTHER managers contract, but in the mean time it's eating into preparation for another huge season.

Conte will have a settlement fee for any termination in his contract that ends in an early break, rightly so he will be sitting tight, advised by his legal team and squeezing the club, yes the club who agreed to those terms to rightly stump up the dosh. Imagine anyone in that situation knowing you have the club with a new season to prepare for dangling by a string and desperate to get their old manager out and new one in.

This is pure amateurish bad planning from CFC AGAIN.

Agreed, while i'm not disputing the situation with Sarri could be complicated, hence why it's taking so long for the "appointment".... Sarri or no Sarri, If Conte is not in the clubs plans for next season then there is absolutely no reason why he is still here, other than our board trying to do things on the cheap. Absolute joke.

Even if they were keeping Conte as a back up in case we can't get a replacement in (very doubtful I know, but im trying to think from the clubs point of view and be optimistic), this wouldn't work, it would be a repeat of last season, unhappy players, no motivation etc

[Costa19 858]

Im not ready for another season of "suffer without the ball" tactics. Please lord of football, give us Sarri!!

Nice to be the best at something, Chelsea keep one upping themselves in 'Ridiculous Summer Transfer Sagas' surely nobody can come close to us in this regard.
