Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

TPdYID · Mar 18, 2023

The only thing worse then hearing AC constantly stroke his own ego and blame others is the thought of a new manager giving Dier a “clean slate” or Winks getting a “pre season to prove himself”.

This is all before we hear “there’s a player in there somewhere” when referring to N’dombele.

Then why did they hire Jose and Conte. Why hire winners if they don't want to win.

Bottom line, the team can perform much much better than they have this season. We saw it in the last few months of last season and we'll see it again under another manager (eventually).

Of course they want to win but are they willing to put in the resources (money) to be able to win?

Winning is not their priority.

Is the football terrible? Yes

Do I want him gone? Yes but it will change fuck all

Is everything he said on the money? Yes

Will we be in the same position in 18 months with a different manager? Yes

ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES OF A CLUB!!!!

I've put the feelers out re what's just happened and will report back if I hear anything.

It’s so so sad. When AC was appointed it could and should have been something so special for the club, the beginning of our club being a truly elite club, how has it come to this

I’d never be ‘done’ with my club but it feels like we are destined for nothingness and nothing more

Also we are called a top 6 club but we don’t go for the same calibre of quality compared to the other 5!

why is this? what’s been our big boy
Standout signing over the last 5 years?

Tanguy but for totally the wrong reason.

It’s interesting to me that the team played better when Conte wasn’t there. I think that says a lot. My guess is the players are sick of being moaned at, his words and actions point to not trusting them and then they get berated for not taking responsibility. In every respect this guy is his own worst enemy and needs to go, now.

Yes but he doesn't trust them because they can't be trusted.

Yeah, losers hate being moaned at.

Now that the fireworks have died down - I am curious about the specific players that Conte is calling out here.

All this talk of "We'll be back here in 2 years", well yes we most likely will. But it's nothing out of the ordinary.

The average tenure of a PL manager since 1992 across all clubs is a shade over 2 years and Wenger , Fergie and Moyes at Everton skew that average up.

You think people are saying that in terms of new manager appointments? I just said it because it’ll be another 2 years of a manager being let down, gradually drained by a club with a losing mentality, a non existent recruitment department, a board who have no clue or idea as to how to build a successful football team, player after player who when it really comes to it, when it really is the moment to win something, fail. It’ll be 2 years of getting our hopes up for a period of time before it slowly dawning on us that it isn’t gonna work, again.

Imagine he spends the next two weeks of the international break just doing more of this each day, and we’re all sitting here in two Thursdays time watching him in front of a microphone “and the tea lady? Fucking hell, leaving the tea bag in for far too long… the window cleaners a right dick too”

Doris is far too passive with her biscuit tin game. The stupid old bint throws out plain digestives every time. What about a jammy dodger or a bourbon biscuit once in a while?

Levy only does the tesco bblue and white stripe digestives. Doris got turned down when she asked for blue and white stripe bourbons as 10p more

I think he’s made it even harder for Levy to sack him as he’s a loose cannon this man won’t be signing any NDA’s or FDA’s like others have.

He has called the club out rightfully and the players as well, the problem is the players he has called our really are dier,loris, Kane, son and those.here before he arrived which is a brave thing to do

I don’t think he’s calling out Kane. I think there are a few others that come to mind first. Dier certainly being one, maybe Son and Hojberg?

I'm not going to defend Levy, but he has always said that his priority is the sustainability and best interests of the club. We've done amazing to get to the size we are now, but always in the back of his mind there must be reminders about clubs like Leeds.

I've already said my piece on that already. I don't think they understand elite managers require elite players. It's my view Levy and the rest of the anthill mob were hoping an elite manager would get more out of the deadwood and journeymen and they can't.

Levy logic..... spend 15 mil a season on a manager spend half the required amount on the squad.

Just seen Contes PC. He’s 100% correct! About time someone called out these players! Can’t stand the lot of them. Spineless and cowards that have won fuck all.

Winning is not their priority.

Well they're sure as hell pouring a lot of resources into staff turnover. And player spend and wages are also going up and to the right. You'd think if it wasn't much a priority they'd be a lot more comfy with underachieving on the pitch.

My annoyance with the board is more that they seemed too hungry for success. Poch had earned more time to reset/transition the club.
