Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[Gb160]

I think you need to refer to the post I was replying to. They said if Norwich had scored first we wouldn't have won so I countered with a real world and recent example to disprove the theory.

Yeah I thought that was the post I was replying to...it’s been a long day!

Only Admiral Halsey for me, and only because it’s tied to very fond adolescent memories.

Hey, I only gave you that one because Guns n Roses did a better version of it.

At least we can offer the players the opportunity to isolate in the lodge. Normal folks don't really have the option of isolating in a 5* room with full meal service whilst keeping their families safe at home. Hopefully the club are doing everything to support those affected, including non-playing staff in particular.

I just watched the presser- wow
Why the fuck would anyone play / turn up for work in this situation.
I wanna win, but not at this cost.
Give up this game- feck any football money men who say different
EVERYONE on here and out there keep safe

Having watched Conte's presser, I have to say I thought he communicated the seriousness and humanity of the situation admirably. It's not about football, it's about people and health and lives. He did a great job (despite being visibly distressed).

Seems like a good man. Isn't even talking about football just for the safety of everyone at the club. Lucky to have him.

When Conte speaks you can really connect and empathise with his frustration, passion and how genuinely upset that his family and those of others are potentially exposed to COVID just because the rules are unclear. I honestly can’t imagine Nuno, Mourinho or even Poch being that articulate and having the ability to connect with the fans in that way.

yes I have a huge Conte Crush

That's a bit disingenuous to the other 3

Without wanting to derail the topic, I just find it refreshing for us having a manager with a direct communication style , to call things out as they are. Not sugarcoating or obliviously stating everything is okay, not speaking in riddles or doublespeak, or having hidden agendas to whatever they are saying so you have to spend hours deciphering what he means. Just straight shooting calling it out like it is

Yep let's be honest Poch's pressers were boring, he spoke in riddles and hardly ever made any sense.

Jose's were ok at the start but sometimes snide and largely about protecting himself and his brand, although we didn't really get the proper toxic Jose.

Nuno's were dreadful, charisma of a sponge and he hated them.

Conte's are amazing in comparison.

I agree with what you're saying when comparing Conte with the others in regards to football matters, I didn't think it was fair to compare a situation that the other 3 have yet to really deal with, and to say Poch wouldn't be able to connect with the fans and empathize with the people affected is wide of the mark.

He is so good, and this is not just about his football management ability

Nice breakdown of our tactics under Conte by the excellent Tifo…
