Conte is probably better than the version of Jose we got but nowhere near Mourinho in his pomp. His CL record for one is horrific for any supposed top manager. And we just do not have the squad to play his football. Nor can I understand why anyone would want to see a transition to his brand of football. I think it would be a disaster which would set us back just as Mourinho did. We would be left with another significant transition on our hands as soon as he inevitably showed his arse and fell out with the board.
I share the skepticism regarding Conte shortcoming in CL, and that Mourinho peak is higher. However, I strongly disagree that this squad is unsuitable for his football.
We may not have depth or top choice for certain position yet, but to have a competent starting XI, I believe we already have it as is for Conte. And the required upgrade is not difficult that can't be done in couple transfer window.
Conte is good at quickly imprint his football in the team. And comparing to Ole, his football is more expansive. His team can actually play out from the back well. Good collective pressing as a team in the mid block. Can dominating team if given the chances.
The transition from Conte or Mourinho aftermath is overblown. Chelsea has shown how quickly they turn thing around for them to have them both succeeding each other. At other clubs, Mourinho and Conte aftermath is total worth the successes they brought during their time. Ole's 2+ seasons as manager full of excuses had created so many myth.
If Ole only did the interim time, then Conte took over, I believe we would have been in better shape now in term of trophies despite if Conte having meltdown and leave. Remember Conte picked up a fair few of our players from Mourinho. We wouldn't have wasted money on players that got bought but without a plan for them under Ole. That money would have been given to the new manager, while they're under a lesser pressure to immediately succeed (similar to post Mourinho meltdown patience for the new manager).
