Dreadful appointment simply dreadful
Volatile personality in a club desperate for stability.
Short term coach who doenst stay long at all, known for signing older players, is at a club with many youth prospects and not many veterans
Defensive football, when the club doesn't have the players to play that way nor the cultural identity that's expected ie Inter.
Man management is extremely bad for the long term but excellent in the short term.
Awful record in Europe, and on incredible wages.
Sure he has pedigree but so does mourinho! I fail to see the difference between the two. Whatever argument can be made for him can be made for Mourinho, and he failed at Spurs spectacularly.
Potter has his team playing great stuff and done wonders with young players and a small budget.
He's the no brainer long term visionary approach not chasing short term success
"Flights"? They're not that far away...Flights, accommodation and tickets bought for the games vs Brentford and Norwich before I went to bed last night. Big faith in Conte. I couldn't justify spending €€ on Nuno. coys!
We’re just not used to you
He's foolishly missed the message that we're all starving to death
Why not.That remains to be seen. We have a lot of good players underperforming. I think 1 or 2 cental defenders, a cental midfield and a striker in Jan will be it.
Precisely.The good thing about Conte for us is that he implements his system and philosophy fast. He may not be here for a long time but he will get us starting rebuilding fast and quickly.
He got a 1Million bonus for saying this part.“Last summer our union did not happen because the end of my relationship with Inter was still too recent and emotionally too involved with the end of the season, so I felt that it wasn’t yet the right time to return to coaching.
“But the contagious enthusiasm and determination of Daniel Levy in wanting to entrust me with this task had already hit the mark. Now that the opportunity has returned, I have chosen to take it with great conviction.”
Oh Conte Conte...
Might be a bit left field for the Park Lane End but still...
Incredibly lazy to call conte football "defensive" and to compare him to joseDreadful appointment simply dreadful
