That shouldn't even be an argument. Levy has definitely paid more to sack a manager than the 5-6 mil it would cost to sack Conte.
Nuno has had a new job for a while so we are not paying him.
I suspect the same. Some want the "safe" option in Poch. Some want to go for something new.
Gil, Romero, Royal? They were here before Conte got here.
Udogie and Spence were obviously just a club signing, how many times have they played for us?
Might wanna redo those calculations.
In the grand scheme of things no it’s not a sackable offence based on the result.
It’s they way we whimpered out without so much as an attempt to win.
If we were one nil up from the first leg going away for the 2nd leg, we would have been peppered with attack after attack but we chose to take Kulu off to bring on Sanchez as if he was going to get that goal.
I wish people would stop chatting this crap.
Conte's contract gets paid off whether he gets sacked or not.
It ain't just on Conte, the football has obviously been garbage, but the "backing" of him has been typically half measure. 34yo free transfer lwb, loan unwanted lcb, Everton needing to sell Richarlison. Bissouma and Spence I think will end up decent signings for the club, but even Spence at 15m wasn't brought in before the start of pre-season and seemingly unwanted by the manager.
This feels remarkably similar to Ireland under Martin O'Neill. He'd play the same bang average players every single game, never give a chance to younger players (grealish and rice FFS). Played shit boring football. And every interview he'd say "we just don't have great players, it's really difficult".
The best managers find a way to make what they've got work. O'Neill was a cunt, so is Conte it seems

So Conte and Nuno were our only choices that summer?
I know. But he would have to pay a manger as well as Conte if he bins him, it would still const him more money than just keeping Conte.
If Conte walked then we wouldn't have to pay him a dime right?
But he's not that silly so sacking would mean we'd need to pay two managers between now and end of year.
Yep and take into account the money we will probably miss out on in league position etc.
And at the moment you can only see us slipping down the table.
You have way too much faith in the circus that transpired that summer
Catcha 22 .....uttered in my bestest Italian accent, both Levy and Conte know the position is severed come end of season. The only thing left to be established is timing, money /wages doesn't come into the equation. Conte has stated his mind is made up and hinted it may happen sooner rather than later so watch this space....I read or heard a comment last night by a fan saying watching us atm sucks all the energy out of you and I can't think of a better description tbh.
FUCK Tuchel! not another fucking Chelscum failure
That is true and we cannot forget Levy's involvement in all of this but for me we had more than enough to beat Forest in the league cup, Sheff Utd in the FA cup and a poor AC Milan.
The system and substitutions in each game were what cost us.
You play a system to suit the players you have and you play in form players. Conte does neither.
