Nah managing the Chavs was what did it. You get used to entitled behaviour with that club and if you don’t get it elsewhere, the toys come out of the pram.Seems like him and Jose went down the same road. Probably coaching us that finished them off.
He threw his toys out the prem at Chelsea too.Nah managing the Chavs was what did it. You get used to entitled behaviour with that club and if you don’t get it elsewhere, the toys come out of the pram.
The only club he has had somewhat of a clean split with was Juventus.He threw his toys out the prem at Chelsea too.

Antonio Conte criticises Chelsea hierarchy: ‘I don’t have money to spend’
Conte complained that the club do not match his own ‘great ambition’ and that City’s dominance is only going to increasewww.independent.co.uk
He kind of fucked them over as well. He walked away during pre-season started without any warning after signing a new deal.The only club he has had somewhat of a clean split with was Juventus.

Yes. And yet, clubs hire him, and and get upset that Antonio Conte behaves like Antonio Conte. I will never get it.
I don't get why we hired him and then didn't actually give him the funds he would have needed to succeed.Yes. And yet, clubs hire him, and and get upset that Antonio Conte behaves like Antonio Conte. I will never get it.
No manager had spent more than him in our entire history.I don't get why we hired him and then didn't actually give him the funds he would have needed to succeed.![]()
Yeah, I think Ange's net spend is quite high.No manager had spent more than him in our entire history.
(I’ve not seen the numbers but it’s possible Ange may have spent more???)
The issue with Conte is also that he refuses to work with players and working with what he has. He has to have ready made players brought in constantly to sustain his style of football.Yeah, I think Ange's net spend is quite high.
But even so, it wasn't enough for Conte. The team needed a serious overhaul, which is only really happening now.
Absolutely. Which again not only begs the question why we went for him, but why he continues to be employed. If you don't have a ready made team, you are looking at £400m+ of team investment.The issue with Conte is also that he refuses to work with players and working with what he has. He has to have ready made players brought in constantly to sustain his style of football.
This. He just wanna be seen like doing the club he managed a favour and be indebted to him so he's above everyone and nothing is ever his fault.This is so pathetic.
His strategy is to belittle Napoli and act like they've always been midtable and pretend that they didn't just win the Scudetto two seasons ago. Which is ironic because its the exact same situation Chelsea were in when he took over.
So when he gets them to like 5th this season, he can make it out as if he performed a miracle to get them there. He's probably hoping that can land him a job at a bigger club.
For me he fucked it. He had us playing really well in that 2nd half of his first season. He was backed but we were not the same team the season before, we went backwards and that’s on him I’m afraid.Yeah, I think Ange's net spend is quite high.
But even so, it wasn't enough for Conte. The team needed a serious overhaul, which is only really happening now.
Because it's never enough for him.I don't get why we hired him and then didn't actually give him the funds he would have needed to succeed.![]()
Depends who you want to attribute the Porro and Kulusevski fees to.No manager had spent more than him in our entire history.
