Yes we don't know what happened, and I'm not speculating on what transpired either.

At face value, Conte inexplicably walked out on the team, and deserves criticism for it.

He gave us time to find a replacement at least.

Nedved was saying that Conte wanted to quit back in May, but they convinced him to stay. Neither you, nor I, know what happened during that time period. Perhaps relations soured, promises weren't kept, etc...
Like Conte in the middle of a contract?

Wow. First time I'm posting in here since the news hit.

Thanks for everything you've given us in the past 3 seasons. All the wins, all those records, bringing back our grinta and our mentality. But I just can't condone the way you left us just before the season started. I'll never be able to forgive him for this, no matter how much I love him and all that he's given us.

I hope he fails wherever he goes. But I know one day he'll come crawling back to us, and all will be good in the world again.

If he wanted out bad enough he never should have agreed to stay when we convinced him back in May. Then to quit on the first day of preseason...


Heart is broken.

he gave us grinta and motivation theres no denying that but he still has alot to learn tactic-wise which is why i think he wouldve been better off staying here...our play was so unimaginative and predictable alot of which was down to the coach...i feel if he goes somewhere else, esp in another league and esp if it were a top or near top tier team, he would be exposed...

:tup: he was never the best tactician. And I also didn't like he defeatist and loser mentality in Europe.

:lol: :howler: Honoring your contract is not a promise, but an obligation if you wish for it be so. Imagine you are sick and tired of your job. You can leave before your contract is up, can't you? You don't like you co-workers or the new guy. Your boss is a sack of shit. You were promised a raise and/or a promotion, but that didn't materialize. Would you still stick around? In most cases, 2-3 months notice is sufficient. You don't have to stay until the end to honor your contract now, do you?!

What do you want now, you inbred sack of shit? :p

I'm not condoning Conte's actions, just clarifying that honoring his contract is not necessarily a promise. He can choose to walk away from a contract, and so he did.

Again. That is your opinion. If you ever have a job with a horrible boss, annoying co-workers, and a general air of negativity about the place, then it is your right to quit. Perhaps when you started out things were different, but then they changed for the worse. It does happen, you know.

Anyway, welcome back fucker :beer:

But we are not talking about regular accounting job do we? The why would we not like clubs with mega money and unlitmited buying power, that would be normal in business world.

Anyway you look at it he left in not a good way. Could have left at the end of the season, but he choose to stay and left in the middle.

Now this is just speculation and I doubt working in Juve is something like it :p

Yeah, was not a good way to leave us after 3 great years. Just quit in May. "Ohh but Agnelli convinced him to stay"…So? Your gut/first instinct is usually the right one, and lets be honest, there was huge signs before the end of last season that he was thinking of leaving.

@Raz My dear fellow Juventino, I wasn't talking about whether he left in an appropriate manner or not. I was responding to Hustini about the validity of considering his departure as a breach of a promise, as honoring a contract and keeping a promise are not the same thing. A contract can be looked upon as an obligation, but I don't ever recall Conte promising anything.

Yep, I think it started even before, somewhere before the end of his second season with us.

I've had bad jobs before, where I was the subject of verbal, and sometimes, physical abuse. I had more promises made to me that were broken that I care to imagine. I had a job where I had to take a 35000.00 paycut in the course of a 6 month span.

Please don't try and sit here and say that Conte was in such a horrible position because they couldn't get him Sanchez or they were going to sell Vidal. He was the highest paid coach in the peninsula for the most glamorous team in Italy and a brand name all across the globe.


Let's also remember that he was at his worst possible point in his career when Juve came calling. His reputation, and deservedly so, was in the shitter when he got hired.


He owes Juve as much as most of you think that Juve owe him.


He wouldn't be in this position where he can take a year off, and then basically pick his next job, if Juve, and especially Agnelli, didn't take a huge gamble on him.


Stop making this guy out to be a saint, because his current and past history reflect that he is far from it.
