I'm not convinced we'll go for Conte just like that. I think actually do the right thing for once and assess all the options. When they talk to the football guys like Murtough and Fletcher, surely they won't suggest Conte? I feel like they are more likely to say Potter or Ten Hag, as I don't think they could control Conte.
I don't mind if we do give Conte the job on the basis that a) as soon as the shit hits the fan we let him go, or b) a better, long term option becomes available and we just make the switch. No sentiment, no bullshit, just don't miss a chance at the next obvious option. Which might prove to be one of the two I already mentioned.
