Don't forget Vialli too. That's two close friends dead within months of eachother.
His family are still in Italy. I think perhaps with 3 close friends dying its probably put things into perspective. Does he really want to miss his daughter growing up to fight tooth and nail to get us 4th every season with all the stress that goes with it?
Ventrone, Vialli and who?
Exactly this. I think these next few weeks will be decisive in terms of results. If we start winning and looking good again, he might decide it would be worth it to stay rather than go back to his family in italy
Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Don't forget; Spurs killed Jose's dog too.
Sinisa Mihaljovic
Romero is worse than last season.
Kulu has yet to really get going.
Pre-injury, Bentancur has been the bollocks...
PEH has had a few poor games, but otherwise has played some of his best football since arriving.
Davies has low-key been his usual steady, decent self.
Sarr's cameos have been good.
Slim pickings though.
The fact that things are on such a fickle, reactionary knife-edge bothers me, tbh.
Lets say we get top 4 and he signs a 3 year deal; are we still gonna go through this crap any time we have a rough spell?
Yeah perhaps. But as a club we have to ask ourselves is that what we want. Even if everything clicks for the rest of the season then we maybe get another year out of him. I think we need to move away from the short term in both managers and players.

Yes. This is who Conte is everywhere.
We can win the league and buy every player he asks for and it will be this a couple months later.
But we'll have won the league. That's the bargain.
I don’t think so. I still think the two deaths are the biggest part of his morale right now. And I think as his daughter gets older they could potentially move here. I’m not concerned
Thing is we don't operate in a monopolised league...... You can get 90+ points and still not win the league.
I understand.
This is the reason many people thought this would be a bad fit. Many people also (IMO correctly) said that this is the best coach we could possibly get.
So here we are. Might as well win something.
I respect the personal life stuff...... These things are consistent whether you are a multi-millionaire or not.
........It's the suggestion of "top four or I"m gone"; as if he doesn't have a key role to play in that and he himself hasn't performed questionably this season.
It's something he needs to understand too.
He's blown a lot of hot air about understanding the project, but a lot of this noise suggests that it's just hollow sentiment.
If we can; yes that would be more than nice.... Prior post still applies though.
He a good enough squad player, a bit like PEH, reliable but not if we want to challenge near the top should either of them be number one choices in their respective positions,
What did it say?
DiMarzio said that as of now it seems Conte will walk after the season due to some personal issues, but there is a chance he could change his mind.
Far more consistent than PEH
