What's very good news is that according to pretty much all reliable news outlets, Conte resigning came as a surprise to the board. If true, this rules out Vidal leaving being a done deal for me, because if he was, they wouldn't have been surprised, Conte made it clear a couple of times that keyplayers remaining are condisitons required for him to continue.

Still doesn't mean that without Conte, Vidal might have second thoughts about going abroad.

It hasn't, but that doesn't mean that technically he wouldn't be allowed
Okay, but does it matter why it realistically wouldn't be possible?

I don't know about that. The most likely scenario I see is that the board got an offer they couldn't refuse for Vidal, and they endorsed it -- Conte did not. Overriding Conte's wishes, they gutted Conte of a linchpin of the team he planned to take forward the next season -- making him feel as if they were moving backwards instead of forwards. And Conte didn't want to nurse the team for a season until the next summer transfer window to capitalize on the money.

or conte simply isn't that selfless and always had an eye on bigger and better things like any top coach

What "bigger" things? Every top club has a top manager, besides maybe barca. He has no where to go but Italy NT.

And Italy NT is not big, it's shit, past two world cups have revealed that. It's gonna take a LOOOONG time to fix that shit.

Trying so hard not to jump to conclusions here. All the reasons we listed for Vidal to stay with us? Still valid. He loves it here, has Juve tattoos, his family is settled, he doesn't have to live in fucking Manchester and he is loved by the fans.

Vidal stays, surely.
