Am I the only one that hasn’t been the slightest bit worried he’d leave? Even if he got Europa, we were miles off CL when he joined and he’s drastically improved us. Feel like people speculating it has just radiated to the fanbase, he’d only quit if he isn’t backed and he was in January and levy would be an idiot if he thought that was enough.

He's an instinctive guy. He'll quit when he's no longer enjoying the job. Curiously enough, that could be any time regardless of boom or bust. He's an enigma and I love him.

He's enjoying his time here because the players give 100% for him, and the players are loving him as well. We need to back him, he's the 2nd chance that I thought we'd never get after 2019.

I wasn't worried. Mainly because it would look terrible for both parties to seperate like this. Conte comes across as a coward who ran at the first sign of trouble, and hard to work with. Probably Man United's opinion of him already and why they didn't go for him.

For Levy, it would be two high profile manager sackings in two years, Kane definitely leaving, no top 4, which would put the club in a VERY difficult situation. The fans would gone medieval on him.

I must say that I was struck by the warmth of several users but at the same time I want to explain to you better to make you understand that you can stay in peace (if you want).

I read and write on the main Juventus forum but not everyone has the same opinion. Sometimes, as fans of my own team, I get pissed into thinking they are trolls for all the stupid things they say. When everyone supports the same team it almost reaches extremism and I don't like it because objectivity was lost. In your forum I found passion, competence, balance and education. I had the pleasure of seeing Tottenham at your old stadium (a game against Everton, there was Berbatov, I think it was 2007) and I find you fascinating.

A truly English team in the midst of clubs that seem to have become the game of rich oligarch emirs. Instead you have real connotations, your own style. I don't always agree with my president (although I will never stop thanking him) because I don't like the idea of the super league. But the team you support doesn't change, you follow in victories and defeats. However, this does not mean that other teams can be respected: in my opinion the comparison in respect and education is constructive. For everyone.

So you come here for some respite from such people, good call...

Top manager. Someone pointed out that we don't conceede much even when we score 3 or 4 or 5. Even if you are winning if you concede they you put pressure on yourself and invite the opposition back in. That isn't happening so much. And we have so much room to improve in terms of quality in several positions, that you have to say we are likely to be much better next season. With City and Liverpool being as good as they are it's hard to see us winning the title next season but then again are we really going to be that far off? Are we going to lose that many games? I certainly think CL qualification next season will be much more certain than this year.

Has anyone seen a league table with our Conte form extrapolated over the course of the full season?

Interesting little bit of data from the Athletic detailing what playstyle characteristics have defined the teams this season and to what extent.

Our yellow pie scale definitely stands out.

He won't leave because of where we finish.
He'll leave because Levy will promise him diamonds but give him broken glass.

He will build a strong foundation, win a couple of Trophies and then fall out with Levy like they all do. Then Poch comes back to dominate world football.

They do?

.......Nothing to do with either results or losing the dressing room?

Nuno - Results
Mason - Temp
Jose - Lost dressing room.
Poch - 14th / Lost dressing room
Timmy - Temp
AVB - Results
Harry - Uncommitted.
Ramos - Bottom of table.

Granted, Jol was appalling, but Conolli was against him from the start and was only too happy to pull the trigger...... By all means explain the Levy-factor in that though.

You're right, all I hear are complimentary anecdotes from all those previous managers. Either he's a terrible judge of character or he's hard to work with. Both add up to the same thing.

........Can't back your OG comment up with anything of substance then?

Still a chance to redeem yourself though..... I ask again:


Who in the last 15 year left due to a falling out with Levy?
