A lot of players and managers in the last 20 years - only 1 owner...But in the next line he’s saying ‘why is that? Should that really be the fault of the owner and the managers, or actually the players’

Boring, he got Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sess and Clarke for his great rebuild. Basically a big point of our misery...Poch wasn't wrong this is a painful fucking rebuild
Who's the alternative for Dier? Our CB are atrocious. Outside of Romero they're all terrible.To be fair, Conte has continued to play them when in a failing system alternatives were available
One massive problem will be gone though - and that’s his negativity.Conte delivering some uncomfortable home truths for this club.
If you think the problem goes when Conte leaves you are very much mistaken!
If the rest of our back 3 had half the ability and passion of Cuti we wouldn't be in this situation. He is elite clearly and if we don't improve we will lose him and then watch him go on to win shit loads ala Modric
Right. And the fact that we apparently went from ETH to Fonseca to Gattuso to Conte to Nuno and back to Conte shows whoever's making these decisions really doesn't have a proper long term strategy based on our club's values.I will never not be amazed at the inability for people to see that there is seldom ever only one cause of a problem.
The manager, board and players all have responsibility, all have been below standard, have all let themselves down. You can change one of the three entities and you will see temporary improvement but it is all the parts which are currently the problem. As always you should focus on the root.
If the manager doesn't fit then you question whose putting the jigsaw together. Doesn't mean he isn't a huge part of the problem, doesn't mean the players shouldn't be ashamed for constantly not showing any professional pride and playing within themselves.
If not of them are willing to change or adapt then they need to be changed themselves.
I backed and defended him for 18+ years, I then witnessed quite closely the aftermath of what followed sacking Jose 6 days before a cup final. I then backed him again when he appointed FP and Conte and said he was stepping back on the football decisions, and I then had a birdseye view of him buying Djed Spence despite Conte not wanting him, and he did exactly the same in the following window with Danjuma.I would say Trix has historically been objective about Levy until this season, and often vocal about what Levy has brought to the club. I'm not trying to act like an ITK brown-nose but tbh his past comments give context and weight to what he is communicating to us now.
Everybody was in full agreement in the window that Conte NEEDED to be backed by Levy. WHY are we so surprised Conte's football isn't working now?
I don't know how fans can see the difference between Santini and Jol, Ramos and Redknapp, AVB/Sherwood and Poch and still say "it doesn't matter who the manager is".Past caring mate. I'll only be saying the same things in 12 months. Until some of you wake up and realise it doesn't matter who the manager is, we will keep going round in circles.
Boring, he got Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sess and Clarke for his great rebuild. Basically a big point of our misery..
If he was being totally tHe’s told the truth
100%. Change is needed in all aspects.I will never not be amazed at the inability for people to see that there is seldom ever only one cause of a problem.

Elite managers adapt. Conte can't adapt. Conte needs to spend and sign very specific players to achieve his goal. He still fcuked up Chelsea in the second season. No different to hereI've already said my piece on that already. I don't think they understand elite managers require elite players. It's my view Levy and the rest of the anthill mob were hoping an elite manager would get more out of the deadwood and journeymen and they can't.
Levy logic..... spend 15 mil a season on a manager spend half the required amount on the squad.
This is a tremendous point, in a bang on post. If you’ve taken this club as far as you can, you can say you’re being held back. Poch earned that right. Harry took us from the bottom to challenging at the top. BMJ the same. Any of them would’ve been more justified, and not come across as someone trying to divert blame.- How can you say it's the same no matter the manager and that history has repeated itself for 20 years when we've clearly improved under Jol, Redknapp, and Porch? (They managed to get the players to play as a team, wich is one of the important aspects of your job.)
Ramos and puyol got plenty of cards and won everythingBit off topic but think you’re going a bit early on the elite shout. When he plays well, he looks brilliant but he’s a walking yellow card which blunts his best qualities. Elite defenders don’t get 10 yellows a season. Cuti has the same number of cards in the PL as VVD and played 41 games (vs 218 for VVD).
Depends on your definition.Your only elite when your on the pitch. Elite and suspended is no help to anyone
