March 18, 20232 yr Author At this point he wants to get fired. He’s checked out. He had an easy out calling out the refs and instead went inward. Like I said, given the time off earlier this month, I don’t get why they didn’t mutually decide to part ways on amicably terms. This whole thing is galacticly stupid.

March 19, 20232 yr Author Until we have a real plan for what we want the team to be/do - any hire is dumb.

March 19, 20232 yr 4 minutes ago, mr. littlejeans said: conte did have a point about ownership’s role in this. Sure, but Conte hasn't accepted any responsibility for his role. He shares plenty of the blame.
March 19, 20232 yr 48 minutes ago, Schulz2.0 said: Sure, but Conte hasn't accepted any responsibility for his role. He shares plenty of the blame. of course he does. it’s laughable to hear him blame ownership by saying the manager doesn’t matter. general ownership issues aside, they’ve given him everything he’s asked for. this is on him.
March 21, 20232 yr I doubt he returns from his Italy vacation this week. I don't know the Eintracht Frankfurt boss, but apparently Levy has already reached out to him. Just go get Poch. He plays an enjoyable style, he actually wants to be here, and the players that matter like him. I have a feeling we'll see Mason the rest of the way.

Meh, the failure is a team effort. The club certainly hasn’t giving him everything he needs/wants (our lack of creativity in the MF demonstrates that). He has been very stubborn on roster selections. It’s been a whole mess with blame to go around.

It’s been a whole mess with blame to go around. it'll never be enough, but he's gotten everything he's asked for. richarlison, lenglet, perisic, bissouma, deki, bentancur, danjuma, porro. if we're missing creativity in the midfield it's mostly on conte and his tactics/roster selection (and a bit of shit luck injury-wise). leaving kane on the bench against sheffield w/ a trip to the FA cup quarters on the line was impossibly idiotic. the club has problems at the top, but conte thinks he's the smartest dude in the room and blames everyone else except for himself when things start to go sideways. mourinho 2.0.
March 21, 20232 yr Im with jeans on this but were getting to the point that no one worth a shit is going to want to manage. We've run off 4 managers in 3 years. Plenty of blame to go around

The club certainly hasn’t giving him everything he needs/wants (our lack of creativity in the MF demonstrates that). He has been very stubborn on roster selections. It’s been a whole mess with blame to go around. Conte doesn't want a creative midfielder. His tactics are to attack down the wings. Even in Italy when he had Eriksen, the attack came down the wings. That's why Eriksen struggled when he first arrived. That's why he needs to go. The EPL is won thru the midfield. Arsenal's turnaround began when they got Odegaard. The top of the table all have creative midfields. We have Skipp/Hojbjerg/Betancur/Bissouma. The last two are injured, the first two are the same player. Club scouting and recruitment certainly needs to be overhauled. We haven't hit on several high profile players, most notably, Ndombele.
March 23, 20232 yr Author Sure! But does it really make a difference? The organization still isn't going to do the work needed to make them competitive with the top of the table.
March 27, 20232 yr Put me in the "as long as our owners see the club as a money making machine vs winning it doesn't matter" camp. Esp in the this area with mega rich clubs spending with abandon.
March 30, 20232 yr Yeah, said Spurs were caught by surprise by this announcement. WTF? It's been in the making for months! Move on from him.
April 3, 20232 yr Such a bad performance to close out the match. Need a new manager lined up quickly.
