Just been reading Contes comments online - this guy is fucking deluded - belittling our club tonight. AC Milan this, our club that... sorry what the fuck. Making a mockery of us

If anything it’s just shown that Jose & Nuno aren’t as good as people thought.

But yes defensive managers who can only work by being given hundreds and hundreds of millions of players don’t work for our club.

Jol, Redknapp, Poch all did a perfectly fine job…
I agree mate, i'm making it unclear. When people say managers belittle us, its because theyve won the lot and we havent.

He’s bigging Milan up very well, almost like he wants to take over next season.

I honestly don't care where we finish in the league this season. Please just play football no more of whatever the fuck it is this lot go out and do every game. There is literally no joy watching us play.
Agree and as I said and some laughed at this we were better and far more enjoyable to watch under Ryan Mason than we have been under our last 3 ‘elite’ managers.

Obviously not saying he should get the job but it also shows that the last 3 managers we’ve brought in aren’t all they’re cut out to be and that it is possible to get our squad playing nice football with a manager who actually wants to do that with their tactics.

Not the point, you dont go around spouting that bollocks as a route to misdirect fans attention. Whats AC Milans title last seaosn got to do with us barely creating a chance in 180 mins against a Milan team who are sixth/seven in Seria A? Its insulting our intelligence.

Id rather he come out and say - I fucked up. I should do better.

We have to not be deluded and realise he is above us in footballing terms. Mourinho was above us, Conte is above us. We hate to admit it and its horrible but we are below them. We've achieved nothing to warrant being above them.

And that is why the big glossy manager cant continue.
They’ve won more than we have recently, and we can’t deny that. But they’re not ‘above us’. Neither of them could improve our team. I can’t buy into this elite manager tag - surely if your managerial skills are so elite, you can improve players and implement some sort of system to get your team an edge. At the very least you can make a sub to turn a game. Needing the best players in every position doesn’t make you an elite manager.

Serious question as I'm really struggling to find one, but has Conte actually improved any player whilst at the club?
