Is it really Abrahamovich's decision?
If people think Conte is posturing then there are in for a rude awakening. The guy quit his beloved Juve
over something similar and I'm 100% sure he'll quit Chelsea if he doesn't get his way.
Chelsea under Conte | Let's sign the next Hazard, literally.

Conte is the absurd cnut here not Abramovich.
Not really. He's in a position to ask for whatever he wants after grossly overachieving with that Chelsea squad last season.
Couldn't happen to a nicer club! Hopefully the stories are true. He would have been perfect for the Gooners.
Funny club. You win a league and you get sacked.
If he got sacked/quit then the last 3 PL winning managers will have left after winning the league. Seems to be a trend.
CL winning manager too.
Not exactly true. Conte has history for this kind of thing. And here, it's not the club but he that's being absurd. It's just June for feck's sake! If he wants to quit (in mid-June) because the club doesn't feel Lukaku is worth 90 Mn, you've got to (for once) sympathize more with the club than him!
Hm it happened with Conte one time. With Chelsea several times. So I really can't sympathize with Chelsea at all.
He's not in a position to ask whatever he wants. It's not his money, he has no right to demand anything. And how is winning the league grossly overachieving when they won it only 2 seasons earlier?
Roman wouldn't care if Conte went.
He has already proven he can win trophies with even borderline simpletons managing the team, so Conte threatening to quit will be met with less than total indifference.

not sure how content any manager would be under Abramovich

Abrahamovich thinks he's playing FM.
Nah it's rather childish if him remaining with the club is dependent on just signing Lukaku. The fact that Lukaku is priced at some ridiculous 100 million makes Abramovich's case stronger as for once he might be thinking straight.
And the replacement is who? Thomas Tuchel?! The guy who fell out with the board and the players at Dortmund?! Good luck for him if he is going to replace Conte at Chelsea 
Surely Chelsea has the doe to buy Lukaku and keep their PL winning manager happy?
It'd be mad if he leaves at this juncture.

Duncan Castles should be banned as a source. That's @treblewinnings twitter name.
You lot believe everything!

It's probably too late in Abramovich' mind. You can't have a manager threatening to quit every time he doesn't get his own way. Lukaku isn't worth £100m no wonder they won't pay it, I don't blame them.
If he left Chelsea and fancied staying in the UK/London/EPL, on a scale of one to Claude, how pissed off would Arsenal fans be?

The reports are from Italy too.
That's how Twitter bollocks works. Someone posts something silly and everyone else echoes it. All of a sudden its "news".
Di Marzio is reporting it, doesn't get more legit than that.
Edit: I see football Italia quoting Di Marzio...not sure it's legit without seeing the actual article.
Indeed!http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/chelsea-decisive-hours-ahead-for-contes-future-as-manager
damn, conte not messing around.
I clicked on the link to see the whole piece (to find out what the "other reasons" where) but was surprised to see that you had actually posted the whole article. That's some fantastic journalism there!
Can you point to one instance when he's bullshitted when it comes to Italian players or managers/players or managers in Italian leagues?
I remember you being very defensive about Costa back in Jan too. Sure, he didn't end up going then but rift with Conte and Chinese interest turned out to be true.
Not everything during silly season is bollocks.
Conte is a tantrum thrower. Could be a power play between him and Abramovich. Even if Conte wins it'll render Roman more likely to dispatch him with haste at a later date.
Not everything is bollocks but the Costa stuff proved (he was playing days later) to be and so will this.
These "journalists" take a tiny snippet of info (eg Costa and Conte had an argument in training) and turn it into "Chelsea's season in turmoil". It's ridiculous.
Excellent, hopefully he will leave them in the lurch by resigning just a few days before the season starts.
In any event if he's falling out with Abramovitch now, then anything less than a repeat of last season, will see him gone within 12 months.

Big fan of Conte, if he leaves chelsea can we exchange him for Mourinho
You took that well...
I believe Di Marzio.
The guy knew the outcome of the Dollarumma meeting as soon as it was done. It's almost like he's a fly on the wall in these meetings.

He's going home, he's going, Conte's going home.
Now that would be funny..
Roman has form for this, so could be true. No way back from there.. only one winner!
One can blame Roman but Conte has form in throwing tantra when he doesn't get his way.
The PSG job might just become available if Conte becomes available
What is happening? Di Marzio too? I thought it was BS at first. Would be idiotic of Roman to let Conte go - then again Conte could just be pressuring him to spend more.
Perhaps Conte should have been more sure of getting his man before binning Costa by text.
As much as I can't stand Costa that was a coward's trick and perhaps his behaviour is now backfiring on him.
