Hardly ground breaking stuff, is it? Conte's man-management is to get the best out of players, provided they buy completely into his ethic and sacrifice themselves totally. Don't and GTFO.

I've said before but this method will go so far with certain types of player. I believe Rafa Benitez is the same, albeit with a less abrasive and more calculating personality. As long as you are doing as asked the coach is happy, great motivation, players love it. Don't and you're out of the team and no special treatment. Some players need more flexibility and reassurance, the little snowflakes. Modern football is more like that.

If he stays/survives slowly builds a legacy then the players will bend their attitudes to be part of this winning managers team. Ferguson did it, mourinho kind of did it till his bright idea of rejoining the same team backfired on him.

People are jumping on Conte because of one loss?

Really?


The funny thing is, is that it seems this little civil war is primarily based on some people not willing to admit that our last two coaches have been great. I'm sure there are a lot of other teams that would have liked to have this problem.

That'll be difficult to do as a foreign manager, even more so in the modern game. I think Mourinho turned into one of those coaches with his second Chelsea spell (maybe even before that with Madrid) and it turned into a bitterness.

What problem? And I don't see people jumping on him because of one loss either. Thank God he felt like quitting 3 Summers ago.

Doesn't change the fact he's a little bitch though.

He's a United, Chelsea and soon to be Milan/Inter cocksucker.

The problem of their last two coaches being great coaches.

That is what I meant.

We don't have a problem with that. We have a problem with our previous coach, who even though he was great with all his limitations, he was also a little bitch.

Except one of them is more than just a great coach
Yep, one of them is majestic, and thank God he's here for his fourth season and doesn't quit when the going gets though.

Yes, I know that. What I said was that other teams wish they had that problem, that they had 2 great coaches in succession.


I give up. I just give up.
