I agree with this. We'd surely still win the Scudetto that Sarri won, we likely wouldnt have the threat of a 90 point Inter the season after that + Conte would weed out the mercenaries and bad apples of our squad just like he did at Inter. Would he still be with the club after Covid, -15 and what not? Most likely not, but almost anything trumps the chain of Sarri, Pirlo and washed up Allegri, short term option like Conte definitely does.
Do we need a short term option right now? Id say no, we're not in a win now mode, Id prefer to hire a long term coach and build gradually, bringing in 2-3 quality signings every year, dropping the deadweight and developing our youngsters.
