Not really. Their squad is absolutely perfect for Conte 352 and he will just make them much better.
You've been caught in the Mourinho fallacy. Conte isn't Mourinho; he wants transfers, but he can win without them and his record shows that. He had a very limited budget at Juventus when he took them to an undefeated season in his first title win.
You don't know his history well enough then. The last trophy he won was in 2013. 8 years ago. His second stint, he had three years (16-18) before coming here, he won nothing. Whilst both of his successors at Molde broke club & league records winning trophies the immediate seasons after he left.
See above post too.
Yeah I totally agree with you on that and Ole's biggest supporters will just say ah well least we have Europa League, ugh
What else is new.
Yeah I am gutted by this appointment and so will everyone be come end of the season
Water is wet
Yeah, that’s it. I am not sure how and why that distorted comparison is so prevailing over here? He even worked in England already, so it should be pretty evident he is still in the ascending / longing period of his career … on the contrary, Mourinho was damaged goods since after his Madrid tenure, and had won all the biggest prizes in the game before then,
Barring those two, as you say, the rest is merely decent.
No, because half of what you say is patently untrue. His tenure resulted in very significant profits for the club off of player transfers, causing rebuild after rebuild. He took a backyard club to multiple titles and established them as one of the best clubs in the country.
Yeah, it's not news to me anyway. Leaving Conte out and sticking to Ole and going to chase Rodgers, Poch ,Ten Hag
Sounds like Solskjaer has regressed, he's got more resources available and when you consider the issues you've mentioned those are the same arguments fans are making concerning this current United side.
The board looked ridiculous the moment the reports about Poch being a key target came out after which he was available for months on end and is now at PSG. I'll never understand the incompetence of the Glazers. They've had successes in sporting franchises, seems they lack common sense. Not to mention that Solskjaer is on a 3 year contract extension having done nothing to warrant it. If we are to look at how bad the owners are, we are going to struggle at a place to start.
It's a strange one - there seems to be a prevailing idea that Conte and Mourinho are essentially carbon copies of one another, when actually there are some pretty significant differences.
I actually wouldn't agree he's regressed. I think it's more that this is just his level. Remember even the Molde fans wanted him sacked.
To be honest, I lost all hope with what happened right now.
You're correct but they both have one thing in common, they both sacrifice attacking intent in numbers for defensive stability. Conte isn't a possession type of coach and Euro 16 is a clear of example of how he sets up in a low to mid block in a compact defensive structure. Conte's Italy ceded possession to every team he came up against with the exception of Ireland who were slightly worse.
This is really really fecking depressing
Yeah exactly and why the useless yankee leech scumbags couldn't see this I don't know, make no mistake you will see an improvement from Spurs within a few weeks much like happened with Klopp, Pep & Tuchel
Yes, that's fair - Conte's sides are not high pressing and he is typically Italian (rather than German) in his desire for balance/stability in his team, which usually means retreating into a mid-low block when out of possession.
Agreed. Whether you have your block, deep, mid-point or high, the block itself has to be compact. I think your assessment is fair.
Thing is, the ones who you state we are waiting for aren't even on Conte's level. So we're waiting for someone worse? Would they be a better fit than Conte, I'm not so sure.
Yeah our yankee leech scumbags will be left with egg all over their faces
Damn right. Go Red Sox
