The reason has to be because we're waiting for a new manager. I cannot fathom our board being dumb enough for it to be for any other reason. 

Maybe our targets were still in the world cup. Like Golovin and Allison

This is a very good point, actually.

This is Chelsea FC we're talking about. They have already allowed this farce to run till July, one month away from the new season. Who can really confidently say they won't retain Conte?

Or maybe they were just waiting for Roman's yacht to arrive in Capri. As good an explanation as any. [emoji848]

But Ive read on numerous sites that his yacht is on the Fewnch Riviera. Using some yachy finding aps such as Marine Traffic and VesselFinder show it as on the French Riviera since early May, either off the coast of Antibes or Golfe-Juan, a good 800km from Capri. And before that in the Caribbean. The pictures of it in Cannes was taken last year.

But who knows where his helicopter goes lol

All the players we are seriously linked to have had representatives of family,friends,agent etc state they are joining us but are waiting for the new manager.

There are some reports coming out of Italy today that Napoli want 20m Euros for Sarri.

If that was true I couldn't argue that the club don't deserve it. I'm all for being firmer in the market and not being pushed around paying over-inflated prices nowadays but sometimes you still have to be decisive to get things done. United, City and Liverpool have all shown examples of this in recent years. But we seem to dig our heels in on every single deal to try and save small amounts on the grander scale. But in doing so, we seem to piss off other boards and end up paying last minute inflated prices on average players in a panic, like Drinkwater and Zappacosta.

This Sarri business could have been done in May, by paying up his release clause. But to try and save a couple of million we've found ourselves now in this position, having to negotiate with a guy who's even more difficult to deal with than our board. Did we not learn when trying to buy Koulibaly from them and ADL kept reportedly shifting the goalpost. It's obvious Sarri's head was turned by our interest and ADL was pissed off so he wasn't just going to let us have him for nothing or on the cheap.

Really difficult to understand the club's logic sometimes.

Never thought anything could be more inept than our transfer dealings. Then this manager search happens. Absolutely ludicrous. It’s a good job this years World Cup has been incredible to keep me sane.

Its not helped me at all. The mood enhancers only last till the morning then its the same ole nightmare. Like some tortuous Groundhog Day.

What happened to Blanc rumors? I am pretty sure if we don't get Sarri it will be someone else but not Conte.

[Pizy 18,453]

If Conte ends up staying the club obviously won't be giving him his own signings. So we truly may end up with more Drinkwater's, Barkley's, and Zappacosta's this summer.

[Starman60 1,343]

And another week of rumour and fake news passes. Well I for one am sick to the back teeth of all this hearsay. Will one of you guys just give me Roman's mobile number and I'll ring him and tell him that we need to know what the fuck is going on, and where the fuck are we going. If not maybe someone has Conte's or Sarri's number ?????

I have Marina's number, but she's blocking my calls. (Went for second base too quickly on first date ) She said she likes to do things SLOWLY !!!!

What is going in Italy Antonio? If this Alfredo "hot days" Pedulla is called reliable then there are no reliable journalists in Italian sports media.

I did think he would jump straight into a top job but looks like Antonio has obviously decided to take the year off.

I do still think Sari is coming but I'm just so sorely pissed off by the complete way we are handling or business. Or lack of it.

It shows no planning or forethought, no ambition, no faith or pride  as a club.

I'm just glad Ive got no Leonard Cohen  and a bottle of sleepers handy!

They are all milking from this saga these days but he’s very reliable. Anyway it’s not his (Pedulla) fault that Roman Abramovich and his team are shit. This deal was always an easy one unless you wanna act like a cunt and try to double-cross Antonio and ADL. Now we’re paying the price and I personally hope we overpay so those experts with our owner in charge will never ever think to repeat something similar again.

They can still milk from this saga because of fans like you who still think he is very reliable.
