We haven’t destroyed him. We thought the same with Jose but lo and behold he wins a trophy with Roma in his first year and is doing great this year. It’s just we as a club aren’t a good fit for these “winners”. My gripe is these managers have won it all, where we as a club have won barely anything in the past 30 years, and we’re expecting them to fit into our ideas. If you hire Jose or Conte, you give them a huge majority of control. We haven’t, and the fact Levy has made the same mistake twice is unacceptable. We need to build a project over the longer term to fit with the club’s ideas. We as a club should be able to have it both ways though: long or short-term, given our financial power, but the owners and directors are pricks. Conte is 100000000% winning silverware with his next club. That’s not in question. We haven’t destroyed him. He’s absolutely top class and doesn’t need to prove anymore in his career. This club is just broken beyond repair and utterly stupid in the way it’s run.
Love Antonio, hold no grudge against him whatsoever, but time to move on. Desire and performances have been horrific.
levy will hang around like a bad smell. Sick of commentators mentioning world class training ground. How many other big clubs training grounds get a mention in games. It’s a joke they have nothing else to say about the board/owners.
Paratici is probably leaving as well due to the juve connection but if not he only gets this summer to make amends for last summers signings.

For as long as I live I will never understand how this guy has been as successful as he has. Bar for about 2 months last season, his tenure has produced the most bland and disappointing football I can remember in my 25 years of supporting this shower. He's spent a fortune, but has has a squad full of international players looking like they've never kicked a ball. I would be ok with it if there was any sign of a plan or philosophy to get behind, but there isnt. Tonight was the final straw. Leave.

I don’t think it’s his fault that we have some very average players. But the constantly lacklustre, low energy performances with zero creativity are on him.
The team are less than the sum of their (bang average) parts and I don’t have confidence that he can change that.
But then the cycle repeats and fuck me im bored of it!

1-0 down.
One man down.
Six defensive players on the pitch to end the game.
Some epitaph.

World Limbo Championship would be more fitting - lowering expectations since 2001…

Him and his lickspittle cronies on the board will undoubtedly absolve themselves of blame and pin it all on Conte.

I genuinely think Conte was Levy’s last chance. Our club is at tipping point right now and I think there’s every chance it starts to get very messy from here on in.

Bloke looked as ill on the touchline as we all feel. I feel awfully for the bloke for how it's gone for him personally, but I didn't think he was the right person in the first place and I sure as shit don't after the past few months.
There are a lot of clubs in a far worse situation than us keeping their managers but there has to be the will of the club, players and fans to make it work for that to happen, and to believe in what is trying to be achieved. I don't think any one of those constituents believes that this is working, will work, or even wants to see any more of it to wait to see if it does. Time to go.

Major players out injured only first team midfielder left suspended 1st leg central cb suspended 2nd leg manager out for a month it is a fair question.we're cursed aren't we..

have 
A fair shot at the fa Cup, a good chance to progress in CL - but a complete failure. And we hired a winner?
Had we gone out guns blazing and actually showed that we wanted this, I coul possibly take it. But the turgid display in those two matches sums it up.
"Nice" knowing you, conte.

Nope.
I don't want yet another bloody manager change and another bleeding rebuild but that was really not good enough.
The squad is shite and lacking any creativity but there must be more than this.
I don't think I want to see us limp to the end of the season and while things won't change while Levy is doing his thing, I'm now resigned to the fact that Conte isn't working, so maybe we just have to cut our losses.
What a fucking shit show.
