Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

I was going back to Conte In when we went 3-1 up and I saw his passion again. How quickly it all changes. He's not wrong but it’s also never his fault in his mind. It’s amazing how little these results affect me anymore. Hard to care anymore

Not all his fault, in fact only a small portion of it has been in some part down to him, but he’s only interested in self-preservation today.

Time to go.

 

[Bobby TwoShots]

I was absolutely buzzing when we employed him, but I’m going to be even happier when he’s gone. The moral of the story is, I know fuck all about football.

Simon Hooper?

 

[JCRD]

I want real change at the club rather than looking at another wasted 18 months of false promises and the same sorry faces still here.

And as do I... But how does conte airing all this shit in public, going to give you or I what we need? It's just making our club a mockery

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

A bit staggered how many are supporting our manager coming out and saying “you are a small team” but I guess I’ve never really been into submissive roleplay.

He’s not doing it to help. He’s doing it to absolve himself.

I don't think anyone is supporting Conte here. What they recognise is that what he is saying isn't inaccurate. Levy and the board are small time on the football pitch. Every football decision in on Levy and its been bad decision after bad decision . The only good thing he has done is hire Poch but even then he'd fucked it by not backing him for 2 windows in a row.

Conte has to go, his football is dross and he clearly doesn't want to be here but his comments on the way the club is run is spot on imo.

 

[cjbyid]

He's right here anyway

 

[only1waddle]

This may be true here but he is being a petulant ****. Anyways he is pretty fired with that comment I think.

To be honest, I'm loving his work on that last line, Every manager we've had under ENIC will have wanted to say it in some form..

 

[RuskyM]

Takes guts to pocket a massive salary at a club and then explain you could never succeed because the clubs small, the fans are shit and the players are dickheads. Bravo Antonio.

Mourinho had more respect for us than this bald ****. Got us to a final, too.

 

[snakehipsspurs]

He couldn’t be more right about our players ability and attitude. But he also cannot say it haha. He must know it’s over now and that’s why he’s saying this.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

He has a squad With Lots of Talent if correctly used. He barely change shit and basically hands out our strategy to the opponent before every game.

Who would you bring into the team right now?

 

[rossdapep]

If Poch was saying this after 5 years of zero backing, I’d be completely understanding and sympathetic. Conte has absolutely no right to be saying what he is saying.

He's right but he's also being a little clever because he's basically tapped into the general opinion regarding the club. People will buy into that rather than how bad his coaching has been.

Hopefully it puts a lot of pressure on Levy to be told to step aside

 

[Wick3d]

Holy fuck, these Conte quotes just keep coming.



If we want to change, real change, then we do need to air the dirty laundry. Nothing will change until things change at the top. Conte does himself no favours with his behaviour, but he is just speaking what is on everyones mind.

 

[wrd]

What he said is correct but the question is then, why does he continue to pick players again and again and again if theyve been doing it all season? Why not teach them a lesson and drop them, hes got more options than the previous managers. If we lose because we drop a player for being selfish then it's an opportunity to show how their selfishness has cost the team.

He has consistently picked the same players, so he's dropped himself in it by revealing his inability to control them and get them to do what he wants.

Who are they, call them out, Im sure we all have ideas, I would guess they are our better players. I said in the match thread vs Wolves after Porro didnt take the second freekick that this club allows players to be bigger than the club, well Conte has just revealed that he himself has contributed to that.

 

[Wadec]

Just thinking. Whilst I am happy Conte is saying what a lot of us feel. I can't help but think leaving it until he is on the way out is him doing it to preserve his reputation, rather than for the benefit of us.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Taking no responsibility. Even Jose had more class

Until Conte compliments our pillows I will always favour Jose

 

[Stamford]

He's right here anyway

we have all said this. the manager won't change anything here

 

[Albertbarich]

He's right here anyway

What's he saying though?

Our player turnover is pretty high so what exactly is the issue that he can't fix?

 

[slartibartfast]

Those comments should never have been aired in public. His position for me now is untenable. I expect to hear some news within 48 hours.

God I hope so.

 

[itsameeAntonio]

They why the fuck do you still play them

In all fairness he’s not the only manager we’ve had who’s highlighted these issues. Weak minded squad.
Conte’s time is clearly up but most of our squad need to go. Gave up on poch, jose and now conte. Can’t handle the pressure

 

[Meercat]

I'll be astounded if he's not gone within 24 hours after that barrage.

Everyone's fault but his.

Swedish journo who reports on us posted something along the line of Conte a martyr in 3… 2…

So, you may not be far off.

It still needs to be said so who cares? I certainly don’t.
