We're in a pickle now, because it would be madness to back Conte heavily in January without him commiting to us long term. But if he's unwilling to do that, we're better off parting ways sooner rather than later, because this is unbearable to watch, and it's been like that all season.
Conte's bargaining chip IS the extension, he doesn't have another so I'm not surprised he is using it and if anything it shows he is committed to the club by fighting to get the tools he needs. He would hardly do that and then leave in the summer.
I am almost certain he extends once backed sufficiently in January.
