I read through the links brother, and it seems like a fairly typical report from the Italian media. A sensational touch, whenever possible
There will be teams after Conte, there can be no doubt about that. Which is why media loves to print off all of this stuff, get a ton of fans really nervous - so that they start checking the news every 10 minutes - which creates a huge swell on their news feed. Very good for business, especially when the Scudetto is wrapped up, and silly season has begun.
Conte has been a bit mysterious, but he's just creating a bit of leverage here, imo. He's trying to distance himself from any idea that because he's Juventino and things are good, he'll just accept whatever conditions the club hands him, and sit happily on the bench. The man wants to be in control - clearly, he needs to feel in control.
However, that being said, let's not forget that he
is Juventino, right? For all that talk of him being a professional and not a fan, he is a fan. He's much more than a fan. I really doubt that he'd leave a dream experience after only 2 years, and
one unsuccessful CL appearance - that would seem pretty damn incomplete for somebody as ambitious as Conte. For me, this is a leverage game.
I don't think we'll be bumping his salary this soon, can't give the guy a raise every year, although I do think he's worth 5M per year (if we have another good season, he'll probably get it). Anyway, I gotta run, good chatting with you PF.
