Conte hasn't even landed yetWhat an absolute disastrous appointment. Right up there with Christian Gross. Always doomed to fail. Utterly dreadful football combined with some of the worst tactics and line-ups I've seen for years. Good riddance.

Every player should all be given a chance to impress any new manager.I’m not sure what you mean by scapegoats , we’ve had several players who have clearly been shit & have shown in the past that theres so much more to their game.
Gross was actually a success IMO.What an absolute disastrous appointment. Right up there with Christian Gross. Always doomed to fail. Utterly dreadful football combined with some of the worst tactics and line-ups I've seen for years. Good riddance.

Agree, always thought he was wrong for us but I was willing to give him time until the arse game. The approach he took in the first half was unforgivable.What an absolute disastrous appointment.

But they are not being judge for how they may perform for Conte . They have it all to prove to the fans To be honest , I’d be amazed if Winks ever gets a game again under Conte. It’s a clean slate for me but it’s their point to prove , not mine. Remember, they have been getting paid while seemingly not giving a fuck.Every player should all be given a chance to impress any new manager.

Woolwich game was indeed unforgivable. Palace game earlier did it for me. Playing that negative midfield against those plodders was a disgrace. The appointment just reflects very badly on Paratici, Levy, etc.Agree, always thought he was wrong for us but I was willing to give him time until the arse game.

Not really for anyone who actually watched the first 3 games.Really quite incredible scenes to go from this to today's announcement in a month and a half![]()
If we end up with Conte, and I won't believe it for one minute until he is holding up a shirt.
Does that mean that we thought Nuno was a better fit than Conte and could have gotten Conte?
I'm so confused by all this, nothing makes any sense. I assumed the reason we didn't get Conte because we couldn't match his demands so we opted for like our 8th choice in Nuno.
