Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[GMI]

Great goal boss. That Italian kit was classy.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Conte was a class player. Not everyone's cup of tea at times, but he was a force of nature in that Juve midfield.

Him, Nedved, Del Piero, Zidane... Serie A was phenomenal in the 90s.

Series A was the league in the early late 80’s early 90’s - in addition to Juve you had Gazza at Lazio the Dutch contingent at Milan and the Germans at Inter. Not forgetting Vialli and co at Sampdoria and Battigol at Fiorentina

Batistuta and Rui Costa in that iconic Nintendo shirt. Pure rock and roll football.

One stick fans (I particular salty arsenal ones) like to beat us with is that Conte will be gone in a year.

Whilst he is a volatile character, he wants to win and if we sign the players it looks like we’re going to sign he has been backed fully.

And if we then back him next summer too I don’t see why he would want to walk?

He only left Chelsea as they started playing silly buggers selling first teaser Matic to Man U against his wishes and replacing with Bakayoko for example.

And if we get who we look like we’re gonna get we won’t even need masses of signings next year.

It looks like we're getting players lined up/ ready to sign, now FP needs to get some out the door before the Korean trip.
The best start to a summer window ever

Well, it certainly makes a pleasant change to be doing things this way round instead of the old 'sell before we buy' mantra. Proof, if any was needed, that Levy and ENIC are backing Conte absolutely 100%. We might take a hit on some sales this way, but we'll be so much better off on the pitch which is where it really counts for us fans.

And if it's better on the pitch we might even get the stadium named and an even bigger warchest for the next window~ once it starts really moving who knows when it will stop?

I’ve not posted on here since my loathing of the Mourinho appointment meant that I just seemed to be locking horns with people, all good fun but probably indicative of the club at that time.
Nice to all be on the same side again.

Wasn't Zamarano there around that period too? used to love watching Serie A on Channel 4 back then.

We all cross swords sometimes, it's par for the course but nothing on here should ever be taken seriously enough to make someone leave.
I might argue with a member about one thing, then find myself agreeing with them in the next thread. As you say, it's part of the fun, never personal.

Anyhoo, it's good to have you back fella.
Let's all sit back and enjoy the ride.
Looks like it's gonna be some ride!

Bam Bam Zamorano? Inter wasn't he?

I think you're right. There was another wonderful player in that Fiorentina squad around the same time but can't remember who he was.

Surely nobody wants to be photographed on a paddle board sat down on it? Stand up man FFS!

Go on then, you tell him to his face

I would and pretend I was a rival fan to rile him up!

He had just crossed the channel and was having a quick rest before coming back!!

Ah but when Conte stands up, the sea sits down...
