He hasn't succeded with many things this season, but one thing he has done well is avoid that.

But that wasn't due to the league position. They qualified for EL due to finishing 3rd in their CL group.Since 2013
Does it really matter if you’re still out of the top4?Mission accomplished. We finished 5th, not 12th!
Nope.Since 2013
Ah he said full seasonBut that wasn't due to the league position. They qualified for EL due to finishing 3rd in their CL group.
2006 was the last summer we had a massive spend that could be considered beyond our means, since then our net spend has been relatively low January 2011 aside. The stadium will not be paid for out of Roman's pocket im sure of that, at best it will be a loan.Youve only really begun operating within your means last couple years. Roman dumped about billion into your club first 10 years and he is still paying for your new stadium yes?
That still doesn't make this season as bad as that. This seasons been shit but that was an unprecedented all time collapse that will likely never be seen in the top flight again.Does it really matter if you’re still out of the top4?
...clearly there’s a problem with the players and the higherups there. Mourinho wins league, players stop playing for him year after. Conté wins league, players stop playing for him year after. Managers don’t seem to last all that long at Chelsea. I’m sure whoever takes the job will definitely keep that in mind and it’ll surely scare some away.
The only major culprit is Hazard who gives up when he decides he doesn't like the manager. However, likes of Azpi, Moses, Kante, Willian etc have been playing as well as they can and have showed no signs of downing tools.Does it really matter if you’re still out of the top4?

There's absolutely no evidence of that re Hazard whatsoever. Infact for a few months this season he has played his best football for us.The only major culprit is Hazard who gives up when he decides he doesn't like the manager.

The real problems were the signings of Morata and Bakayoko. Two key positions, two failures. That did Chelsea in. Add the negative mentality of Conte in the later stages of the season and it was a sure-fire failure.

Haha, I’d be more worried about Spurs if I were you. Or are you still convinced you’ll keep Kane and the rest while paying them peanuts because of the ‘project’?I'll predict right now that Chelsea will finish outside the top 4 again next season.
Every top player wants to train at Spurs new training facilities and watch the NFL games.Haha, I’d be more worried about Spurs if I were you. Or are you still convinced you’ll keep Kane and the rest while paying them peanuts because of the ‘project’?
Except they have more leverage now since their contracts are running out.Same was said in 2016.
If you come at us we are in trouble, but will Jose do that or sit and let us dictate like he did in the league games?
No they were in UEFA Cup under Ranieri when Roman first took over iirc. I was like 13 so sorry if my memory is a bit hazy.First time they'll be in a full Europa League campaign next season since christ knows when.
1st time every maybe?
That will affect them.
No they were in the Champions League when Roman took over.No they were in UEFA Cup under Ranieri when Roman first took over iirc. I was like 13 so sorry if my memory is a bit hazy.
Why would I be worried about Spurs? We've finished effectively 8 points clear of Chelsea whilst playing away from our true home ground for the entire season.Haha, I’d be more worried about Spurs if I were you. Or are you still convinced you’ll keep Kane and the rest while paying them peanuts because of the ‘project’?
Sorry it was 2002-2003. They went out first round.No they were in the Champions League when Roman took over.
They beat Liverpool on the last day in 2003 to qualify.
So a good 16 years then.Sorry it was 2002-2003. They went out first round.
Roman took over that summer.
Jokes apart , I think for you lot this season should be considered a failure. And honestly if I were a Chelsea fan I would be fuming at conte for his behavior. Let us not forget you lot were sitting 3rd and had no trouble but suddenly conte's constant moaning did not help you. Ultimately you lot will be missing a champions league, which may or may not be a big miss but trust me europa is a killer and u less your next manager utilises his squad wisely it will be a tough season for you lot.Mission accomplished. We finished 5th, not 12th!
Of course it's a failure and Conte has been a big reason why. It's nowhere near the disaster that 2015/2016 was though.Jokes apart , I think for you lot this season should be considered a failure.

Not arguing that. Point is that season was a downhill from game 1 for you lots but this season's failure was not at all required and most of the blame should be put on conte. You lot were doing pretty fine until conte started moaning and whining. Also, his jabs at Jose was petty and not required. He had bigger things to focus on and should have known media were playing him but he was more interested in fighting with Jose rather than focusing on finishing well.Of course it's a failure and Conte has been a big reason why.

You basically just described exactly what about 75% of Chelsea fans already think.Jokes apart , I think for you lot this season should be considered a failure. And honestly if I were a Chelsea fan I would be fuming at conte for his behavior.
I don't know why you guys care about the Jose stuff though, Jose has spent his entire career having spats with other managers, its not like you need to defend some poor little delicate lamb.Also, his jabs at Jose was petty and not required.

You’re having a laugh. You have spent more money on players this season than United or City. You just haven’t bought very well.2006 was the last summer we had a massive spend that could be considered beyond our means, since then our net spend has been relatively low January 2011 aside. The stadium will not be paid for out of Roman's pocket im sure of that, at best it will be a loan
The reason I bought the Jose stuff was that had a bigger impact on conte than Jose. And again if you go back to jose's original comments he never mentioned conte. If anything both klopp and conte were asked about jose's comment and klopp to much surprise chose not to respond but conte foolishly fell in the trap. You could see conte was behaving very weird.You basically just described exactly what about 75% of Chelsea fans already think.

He's been a whiny little ass for most of the season. I have absolutely no idea what happened to the positive, passionate, media savvy guy we had running the show last season.The reason I bought the Jose stuff was that had a bigger impact on conte than Jose.

One thing I really liked about conte last season was his behavior with the media and he was very smart, he rarely complained and was not frustrated but this season he was constantly moaning. Point is this season's failure could have been easily avoided.
League position it's better but what Conte has done to your squad surely tops the José season? Selling us Matic, replacing Costa with Morata, being lumbered with the likes of Drinkwater and Barkley nowOf course it's a failure and Conte has been a big reason why. It's nowhere near the disaster that 2015/2016 was though.
Chelsea's had coaches don't deal with the transfers. Conte gets no blame or credit.League position it's better but what Conte has done to your squad surely tops the José season? Selling us Matic, replacing Costa with Morata, being lumbered with the likes of Drinkwater and Barkley now
Writing was well and truly on the wall (well to me anyway) when they went head first into trying to get Barkley. I can't believe they came this close to fourth to be honest. Was obviously a temporary bubble.League position it's better but what Conte has done to your squad surely tops the José season?
