Who's to say Conte will remain?

There's been plenty talk of PSG wanting him & probably the only manager of note (providing Zidane takes over the French NT).

IF Conte leaves (obviously it would likely be for PSG)

then the replacement will come from this group I wager (some would be hard as hell to pull)

Gian Piero Gasperini

Laurent Blanc

Urs Fischer

Poch

Giovanni van Bronckhorst

Thomas Frank

Graham Potter

Simone Inzaghi

Marco Rose

Joachim Löw

 

these cannot come (World Cup)

Didier Deschamps

Luis Enrique

Kasper Hjulmand

Don’t see any reason for Conte to leave. Not unless PSG immediately sack Poch. Then I think those two just swap jobs.

But with Kane & Son still there and with a couple more top signings he could solidify them as a top 4 side for a while.

Conte was a such an obviously good fit for them -- called it at the time they hired him.

Everything hinges on whether Kane is there and remains motivated. He's such a good player and reckon he's even better now moving about the pitch and not strictly as a positioned striker.

I listed him as a Jorginho replacement for ages

TBH, I think more as a replacement for Kova, but yeah if we stick 2 mobile rounded mids, then it works for sure. I like Jorgi, but I think Guimaraes has the potential to be better than him.

Started following him in Brazil still when he bossed the midfield against Internacional in the Copa do Brasil final in Porto Alegre. Inter were all pressure with 60K ppl but could not handle Guimaraes who bossed the midfield and was 19/20 then?

I'd expect Poch or Potter to take over.

With Haaland at City, Kane is stuck at Spuds for good. Nowhere for him to go this summer. With United keeping hold of CR7 they have no room for him either and they were the only other possible destination.

We’ve got to have our own recruitment super dialed in and spot on this summer. Because I think both Spuds and United will be having their biggest summers ever and both will be much better next season with top managers in position.

+ Newcastle could make a play for 4th too.

Southampton look shakey...Liverpool will win this..theyve got back into it sooo some stupid score incoming?

Their 'B' team isn't awlful..theyve been all over this.

Hopefully City don't do it..if they do they'll win it all for def!

Tbh..they've done this before

 Remember when they had to play their B team against Villa a year and half ago, because they had to also play in the CWC.

City have to win their last match. Because Liverpool are surely not going to lose theirs
