    The thing is if the boss is digging his own grave nobody can stop that. for months now Conte has been digging his own grave and he has enough now to bury his head. i feel he isn’t interested at Chelsea. in this case its in the interest of the club if we replace him with more football minded coach. you can’t have players performing for him, when he is treating their fellow professionals very bad. the Costa situation, the Luiz continued absence, the Michy treatment, coupled with Musonda. i won’t be surprised if players have turned against such person. after all the #me-too-movement is sweeping the camp.

    Let’s take it for granted that Conte won’t be with us next season, I think we can all agree on that.
    This season now is all about securing a CL spot, as to miss out on again would be a disaster for the club, imo. Once was manageable, but to miss out again would have serious effects financially, as well as the managers and players we could attract or even retain.
    Therefore, the only question the board must be asking itself is do we stand a better chance of a top 4 finish with Conte at the helm or with somebody else. I do like Conte, but with his repeated moaning and the general mood in the camp, I can’t help but lean towards the latter at the moment.

    ‘I must be honest, when there are these types of rumours since the first game of the season against Burnley… maybe I’d like the club to prepare a statement for me to say they trust me in my work and my job.
    ‘At the same time, I know this has never happened in the past, so why should I hope for something different? So it’s a big challenge to change the approach now. But, for sure, I’d be glad.’

    Think conte might be losing it. The gap might be bigger than we thought between him and the board. Cant see him lasting nor will the club publicly back him

    phwepsi, I almost get the feeling that Conte is trying to force the clubs hand either way. Back me or sack me.

    In my humble opinion, i think this club is losing its soul every day that passes. how we are reluctant to back a title winning boss is beyond me? why? i get the impression that we are addicted to winning, and there is zero tolerance for failure. but when those born winners are not backed they will turn out to be failures.

    I would be very disappointed if we sack Conte after not backing him. and not to mention we overruled him many times? if i had to chose between Marina and Conte. my vote would be with Conte. i won’t forget what he has done. bringing back a smile to my face. after that miserable season in 2015/16. how soon have some posters forgotten? Conte is moaning because like us he is frustrated. i have been his biggest critic lately. and wasn’t happy with his moaning and digging the club in public. but the man is absolute class. at least under him we are finally getting players who we send out loan get chances. and a few of our academy players getting some minutes. but i guess that is not enough for some? even though he delivers the league title in his first season in charge. and is never granted his request. winning the league is hard. but defending the league is even harder than that. and Conte started to send signals in March last year. but our board has underestimated his concern. i hope we see the day light and change our approach to our title winning bosses. because Conte is the third boss who have won the league and suffers this fate.

    I agree Chelsea.man, the club should have backed Conte more in the summer and given him the complete control that he deserved. I too would love to see the return of the laughing, happy Conte throwing himself into the crowds in celebration. But alas, I think all bridges have now been burned and we are past the point of no return. All we can hope for is the board may have finally learned a lesson in how things should be run in future.

    The club have never publicy backed a player before so i dont see the point of conte saying it. Theres also speculation from the standard newspaper that conte wants to start opening contract talks for a extension. Which is crazy considering. No way can we deal with another summer of conte moaning everyday about transfers. Maybe its all just PR i dont know

    Whether we like it or not, Conte is the best available to us at the minute. or like i said before i was his biggest critic about his moaning and digging of the club publicly. but on the other hand, i took time to study the Carlo season after the title winning season, the Mourinho season after the title winning season, and the Conte season after the title winning season. and ironically all of these 3 bosses has suffered similar fate.in which case the club failed to back them in the transfer market. its not like throwing money, i know we have spent £200m, but how many of those players that spent on that amount were Conte’s preferred targets? i would say Morata may be, and Bakayoko to some extent. is that away to back a title winning boss? so i think we need to open our eyes and be careful what we wish for.

    if we continue like this And slowly start to lose grip on 4th place at what point do we go right we need a reaction and bring someone else in for the rest of the season?

    Conte is the best manager available atm but we know hes likely to not be here next season. So we need to save this one

    Roman or one of the directors should be the next manager. They think they know best why don’t they themselves manage the team. If they fail they can sack themselves. Sick n tired of going this manager merry go round. Each time when we win the league, the managers are not backed in the market except Mourinho v.1 . This season the board has invested on injured players who are not ready to hit the ground running. What’s the point of buying players who will just warm the sub bench or physio’s bench. Just look at Barkley… Who ever becomes the manager would be sacked the latest by the second season. So it’s better Roman or the board members be the manager cum coach..

    I’m not having this demonization of Conte by some sure he’s made some mistakes what Manager hasn’t and he’s overstepped the mark in his continued public criticism of the Board and the owner but this is a Manager who has won 4 consecutive League titles with two different club’s and he hasn’t become a bad Manager overnight.

    Conte knows how the club works,he knows about the problems in the club and he knows the PL having won it just 8 months ago so there’s no better manager available for the team.

    Whether all of the angst of the last few months over our transfer policy can be undone I don’t know and it will take big men to agree they’ve got things wrong back down and agree to work together to put things right.

    But if things can’t be worked out between Conte and the Club whatever happens the Club is going to have to clarify their transfer policy with Conte/any new Manager and agree on how it works and appoint a DOF with gravitas who can work in tandem with Conte or any new Manager on whatever the transfer policy may be.

    Cannot blame Conte for his frustration. If he stays quiet then the media will speculate even more. the fans then think he doesnt give a toss as all the accusations are surely correct. They’ll be asking…why he doesnt defend himself. Everyone will also assume that all signings are Contes…which clearly isn’t the case. People are asking why Conte isn’t handling all this in private….did it ever occur to anyone that maybe he’s tried and been blanked. RA doesnt speak to him, Maria doesnt other…Cudicini has to act as a bladdy go between for flip sake. Pathetic. So Conte is defending his corner and basically trying to communicate that our current travails are not solely down to him. Which is true. He’s been asked to manage the team with one arm tied behind his back. Again I refer to the contract/s which were agreed between club and Conte. If Conte signed off knowing that he’d have practically no say in transfers….then he’s at fault. He signed the terms, he should abide by them. However if guarantees were made which the club are now reneging on…then I can 100% understand Contes frustration and bitter outbursts. It’s a bladdy mess people…and the anti Chelsea pundits and media are loving it. Why cant the club come out and back Conte? Maybe it’s because they don’t want to, have already decided on his replacement and we will end up losing another great manager within the next few weeks….maybe even days.

    Did we not have a new CE supposedly start 01st Feb
    Personally think more is going on behind the scenes than any of us know
    No sign of abramovich for ages now
    Conte pleading for a body on the board to back him publicly so at least the press and media will have to ask the bloke some different effing questions in press conferences
    But nothing, so something just ain’t sitting right for me defo more to it.
    Internal power struggle perhaps!!!!

    Pylon, the new CEO seems to be focussed on the business side and increasing Commercial opportunities according to the club’s press release?

    Nine…there won’t be much of a commercial side at this rate. What’s happening now is hurting the club big time. Sponsors and potential clients will take a dim view of this…if this mess continues to be paraded in public. The CEO has overall responsibility for overseeing all club activity….and that includes dealing with a delusional board and a seriously combative, frustrated and peed off manager. He best get involved asap.

    I don’t think we should have started this conversation yet. The season is still long. And we may or may not lose the top 4 spot. I think that Conte will at least stay until the end of this season. Let’s give him our full support. For me: we should have the quality to finish in the top 4.

    If we lose top four the blame will be shared. i don’t think changing the boss will guarantee top 4. i’m not defending Conte completely here. neither i’m exonerating any blame from him. but its unfair to signal him for criticism. to be honest he was proactive about this last season. i think the board didn’t take him serious. now we are reaping what we saw. i fall short of believing that there are forces in our board that deliberately want Conte to fail. but what i do believe is that we have sidelined the most important person of our transfer. who happens to be Antonio Conte. and instead we leave that business to some others who will not take any responsibility. then i fail to understand why we are constantly on the back of Conte and not the board and Marina? but still again we are fans and we tend to be so fickle as soon as things hit rock bottom, we tend to turn against the boss. even though the board has been crying about this situation, a year ago.

    Finally, i think Conte did overstep his mandate. but i would have done the same if i was in his shoes. because when your competitors are getting the players they want. then you don’t get the players you scouted for months. then you will be frustrated. i will retain Conte with or without Top 4.

    If we get beat tonight which very may happen. Lets see how many of you change your tune. All im saying is at what point do we need to save this season.

    A new manager may not guarantee us top 4 but with more shocking performances like bournmouth (and they woll be) id take my chances with a player reaction with a stop gap manager till next season

    And so will roman

    Wise fan you do talk some brown stuff! Antonio is by far the best manager we can have and you like many just want to make up reasons for him to be got rid of! Musonda? He should have shut up, buckled down and got on with his job!
    The club have hung Antonio out to dry. Not once has anyone defended him from the media attacks and i am convinced that the club actually brief behind the scenes to undermine him -where else do stories like the players revolt come from?! Yes he could handle things in a less emotional way but then we all want an emotional manager who cares dont we?! I blame the club 100% and the arrogance of money. Unfortunately what many other clubs fans say about us is turning out to be so correct -no class!
