Conte won the league with peak Hazard and Kante, neither of whom got injured that season nor did they have European football to deal with. He is a great manager but Chelsea had some great payers.

Do you honestly think that Levy will give Conte the kind of budget he requires, that Conte can actually win a title here inside of two years, and that Conte would entertain staying longer than two years? There's noway any of that happens.The same guy who said he didn't care about Domestic cups?
I think the club had a plan and then all of a sudden Conte, Zidane and Poch all wanted to leave/left. You have to at least feel out your options if you are Levy.
1 and 2 yes, 3 - maybe.Do you honestly think that Levy will give Conte the kind of budget he requires, that Conte can actually win a title here inside of two years, and that Conte would entertain staying longer than two years? There's noway any of that happens.
Conte for two years, ruthlessly throwing out the garbage and using all his knowledge and proven expertise to help us win silverware, is well, well worth it.Do you honestly think that Levy will give Conte the kind of budget he requires, that Conte can actually win a title here inside of two years, and that Conte would entertain staying longer than two years?

Im ten Hag over Poch. Conte is a guy that takes a good squad and makes it great. He would have probably been perfect when Levy hired Jose. Our squad is not good. This is a solid 5 year makeover. It’s not happening in two.Conte for two years, ruthlessly throwing out the garbage and using all his knowledge and proven expertise to help us win silverware, is well, well worth it.
Do you think Poch - who was interested in having Dele at PSG - will do what's necessary to clear out the crap form this squad?
Or bring fresh ideas?
Or push back on Levy enough to do what's necessary to make us real winners?

A surge in ST sales yesterday by all accounts thoughSeems unlikely to me that the Poch story was really ever a thing. It’s fallen away today as quickly as a Johnson Government promise.
back to Graham boring Potter and Phil Brown fighting it out.
They also had DavidLuiz as their main CB, Victor Moses as a full back, Pedro as one of their main forwards and Matic as their key midfielder...
It wasnt a galacticos type team by any stretch.
And to Contes credit, I dont think the like of Moses, Pedro, Alonso and Azpilucueta ever looked as good as they did under him.
True but nor was ours. They had the best two players in the league that season Hazard and Kante and also had less football (no European), we had perhaps a more rounded team in some ways but I certainly wouldn’t say better.
Conte was great, Hazard and Kante had no injuries and where at the very peak of their powers and they had no European football. That was combination that beat us.
Anybody thinking ANY manager could come in and somehow transform this team into being better than Man City within 2-3 years are living in dreamland.Do you honestly think that Levy will give Conte the kind of budget he requires, that Conte can actually win a title here inside of two years, and that Conte would entertain staying longer than two years?

We are not winning a Premier League or CL anytime soon.
The best we can do is set out another 5 year project, maybe by then Pep has won everything multiple times, got bored and moved on from City - he is the real X-Factor for them. Hopefully we can nab a EL or FA Cup along the way.
If we time it well and build sensibly that's when we could potentially pounce, depending on how our other rivals are doing.
Can someone answer this:
What has changed with Poch - in the relatively short time away - from the painful stubborness and crapness of his last 18 months with us, to now?
*Having only managed another club for just 6 months.
Probably was a cynical ploy. I still have not renewed mine. Not sure if I will.A surge in ST sales yesterday by all accounts though
*seems I rate our squad a bit more than most do on here. Genuinely think with some confidence and structure it could be phoenix from the flames stuff. Obviously some buys/sales required but I dont believe it needs a full rebuild.
