That may be true but it’s about time someone at the club told the powers that be the truth. We are a small team. We are an embarrassment. Despite being a member of the Big 6 and being the 9th richest club in the world we’ve only won 1 trophy in 23 years !!! It’s 32 years since we last won the FA Cup. In any other industry a company that so obviously failed in their core activity for so long would have sacked their leadership years ago.
He’s only saying what we’ve known and said for years; football wise we are a horrendously badly run club.
11 selfish players? When a manager throws his team under the bus, his position is untenable. I don’t care what else is going on, when a manager blames the team that’s the end

Could be that simple tbf, but it reads to me like its a complete contradiction to Conte's quote. Saying the players are good enough to win, whereas Conte thinks the opposite.

Pep wouldnt play them, he'd play kids. Pep seems like someone who sticks to his beliefs and literally would get rid straight away

God what a shambles.
Conte's right in one sense - the board are a bunch of bellends and them acting like a bunch of demented magpies is why we're in this mess - but he's also full of shit. We've brought in 9 players this season and got worse. People are talking about 'this group failing in big games over and over' but it's basically a different squad apart from Dier, Kane and Son, from the one that failed in years gone by.
I know he probably wanted players like Gvardiol/Bastoni, Casemiro, Skriniar and whatnot, but we've never been that club and, while Levy's probably sold him up the river as usual, he's still underperformed with the hand he's been dealt this season IMO.

"Until now I try to hide the situation but not now because, I repeat, I don't want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans."

There's lots of reasons for this, coaches like to have moldable players.
Top coaches have moldable players but the system or man management can get that extra 10%, pep would struggle at a low level team as his way of coaching is so micro managing the players at the level would switch off or he would get frustrated at them not being able to do what he requires.
It's why I think these new generation coaches like potter who believe in repetition training are so clever and the way go in the future they think activating the bodies muscle memory and REM memory I think it is called where even under duress you can still carry out simple instructions and quick speed, it's why I don't think De Zerbi at Brighton is that good he's living off a bit of potters work but he's added a little tweak.
These managers can improve players at any level, I sag this as I know people who've worked with potter and are now involved in some circles I'm involved in and use some of his methods it's super repeitive but it trains the mind so well, I've watched a young boy come on leaps under this style of coaching where he carries out the same run pass and turn then they keep doing it until it's game specific adding stages and it's insane to watch the change, as then no matter what level the player is playing at he's able to just do what he needs to do at high level every time as it's natural after about 12-14 months one great we example of this kind of player is Pascal Gross not a stand out player but potters methods brought him on 30% same with Trossard now Arteta has added 5% more.

So that’s Sherwood, Jose and now Conte that have all hit out at the players of this club. Not sure any other club has had this before from disgruntled Managers.

Except we've spent 500 million on players and none have dislodged these players. Despite having 2 elite managers.
Our recruitment has been shocking.

Okey dokey
But I have to ask.........You're saying he doesn't give a shit and you're basing that on his comments today. So...........does this wind and hot air only blow in the one direction?

He's not wrong though. Fans have been calling out Dier & Hojbjerg for years. Fuck all has been done about them and that's on Levy.

Somehow managed to bring in even more weak-minded players like N'Dombele and Lo Celso

You obviously don’t know levy very well then. I reckon he’s gone in the international break and maybe he will hire fan fav Poch to get the fans back on side.
