I agree. I doubt it is any more than that. Plus I really think he struggles with English vocabulary and people jump on that as him being shifty but he’s not.

No, he was a complete fraud imo
Boring, dull, mute nobody
People burying their head in the sand re: Nuno at Wolves pisses me off tbh... All the more cos their new guy is getting loads of love for a) getting to a level that Nuno already had them and b) having them playing good football when they're the same stubborn, but dull beast they were before.
Nuno made a bad call coming here..... It was a hiding to nothing as he was always a place-holder (and I think behind the scenes he knew that too). I think he panicked when he didn't get the Palace & Everton jobs, when he should have just bided his time instead..... He'd have scooped another PL job before too long and done well in the right circumstances.
.....Instead, now he's a guy that's been sacked from two upper tier clubs in 6 months. He won't wash that off too easily.
I also think the extent of the derision that he had throughout his time here was majorly due to some not getting the pony they wanted.... Add to that the shitty hand he walked into (Kane & Ndombele trying to force their way out; a freshman DOF trying to make his own mark etc.) ...He doesn't deserve the abuse he got (and as above still gets!) and I wish him well.

But the questions is...did he make you proud like he promised?
It is probably a bit of both. I speak good English but if I get riled up I am 100% going to fall back on swearing in Swedish rather than English.
Conte's a hyper emotional guy who's trying to make himself understood in his second language. It is bound to be a bit confusing and frustrating for all parties.
How do you determine that Marco Silva is a fraud?
He did well at Watford. His Fulham are currently top of the Championship by 8 points, having scored 90 goals so far with the 2nd best defence to boot. Their GD is +58 - the next best is +28
He was shit at Everton, but Everton are shite. Maybe it wasn't him.
No less than Jose did.... No less than if he'd have been succeeded by Eddie Howe or Rafa like the "anyone but Nuno" contingent were prepared to accept.
If Conte did that whole talking in English yet ranting in Italian thing that'd be epic.... Love that shit!
Bellissimo!

He probably did

Conte linked with PSG
www.getfootballnewsfrance.com
Between France’s two friendly matches in this international break, Hugo Lloris, captain and goalkeeper of the team, spoke to French radio station Europe 1, in an interview broadcast on Saturday night. A section of the interview covered the rumours around his current manager, Antonio Conte, being linked to Paris Saint-Germain following the possible departure of Mauricio Pochettino, also a former manager of his.
“Now, it’s been two and a half years that we’ve been a bit up and down,” admitted the 35-year-old, “but since the arrival of Antonio Conte, we sense a real progression. We sense a real direction and even if we had a few difficulties in February, we get the feeling that we’re taking it to the next level as a team and I think we’ll be ready for the final push to go and get a European spot.”
“I think all the best managers are linked with PSG since they are chasing elite status and a Champions League victory,” he continued. “And for that, they try to trust the best. So we know the football industry. All these rumours, all this speculation. We’re in our bubble and we’re doing the best for our club.”

Conte does like a small squad though. I can see a lot of fans being disappointed this summer. Don't be surprised if we stick with the set of wing backs that we have
I suspect they would be changed rather than added to. I can't see him being satisfied with what he currently as.
Already talk that he's happy to sell Reguillon.
