It took Conte 18 months to rock the boat publicly
I wonder if there has been another club that year after year charge the highest season ticket prices across Europe, consistently top ten in revenue across Europe, sit last in their domestic league on % of wages to revenue and have won one league cup and one Europa League in twenty five years.
Wrong, Conte was setting the scene very quickly and after his first transfer window he complained he never got the players he wanted. That window was weeks after he was appointed. Try again.
Not fully checked, but almost certainly not.I wonder if there has been another club that year after year charge the highest season ticket prices across Europe, consistently top ten in revenue across Europe, sit last in their domestic league on % of wages to revenue and have won one league cup and one Europa League in twenty five years.
Did he really truly rock the boat after his first game?
I'm still abroad right now but if I was going then all of the above except revenue too high. That's a good thing... not spending that revenue on the first team is something to protest about.

, but I get it to an extent. Need to keep the pressure on through the good times as well as the bad. And it’s people’s right to protest too. I’d maybe have left it for the first game of the season. Everyone seems really keen on giving all the underperforming players a clean slate over the summer (until they have the gall to miss a penalty, obviously). Everyone keen to see what a fresh new manager can bring. Clean slates anywhere else? Nope. 1. Look at my posts... there are plenty where I don't mention Frank.
I added the revenue thing, as there’s always griping about GoKarts and Beyoncé on here. When that revenue actually leads to us having a low wage ratio, as in reality, we have a reasonably competitive wage bill. Not compared to the clubs that have more money than us, but the gap is closing.
He doesn’t like anything. He’s on here to be miserable and complain and will run away from any positive moments.
I don’t see anywhere where he tells fans what they should or shouldn’t do.
I'm sure Frank has plenty of disagreements with players who have been identified and would love to have had more players in by now. As would we all. I'm sure those frustrations and disagreements are communicated behind closed doors.
He seemed to be alluding that Burnley were a tough opponent, and that the team needs the fans support to win that match rather than a protest.
Just as likely he’s saying the team needs the fans to win, and by doing so, is validating how important keeping the fans happy is. And that the club should support the fans to help the team win.
Protest was a complete joke, handful of people.
