76% of this forum wanted Conte...... This would suggest that they have also seen fit to reject the so-called DNA (at least when it suits them).
I will hold my hands up. I am 50 years old, and only recently (last 5 years?) have I really taken any notice of managerial style.
I suspect that what you are witnessing in that poll is 'Conte wins everywhere he goes....get him in". What people don't necessairly understand from afar is that he plays really boring footbal with technically excellent players.
I don't think you can take a fans poll, certainly not one where the fans are desperate for their fortune to change as guidance on what people want to see on the pitch.
I'm pretty sure that you don't overly appreciate the brand of football that we have produced over the last 4 years. And we have very little to show for it. I have loved seeing us in the Champions League, pitting our wits against Europe's finest. Barca, RM, BM, Inter, MC, Milan etc... in the last few years. And to be honest that has kept my interest. However, if we fall out of that strata for more than a couple of years my interest might well wain if the football we are playing is dull and defensive.
I'm not sure how invested I'd be in going to see us play Crystal Palace, Burnley, Sheff U, Bournemouth, Southampton etc... if all we can expect is 5 at the back and soak up pressure until we concede before making subs in the 80th minute if there's nothing else to pique the interest.
