The deals were either agreed or not, its up to Marotta to proove if he made or if he has failed us once again...
History so far has shown that he never managed to get the players we needed, esp on the left wing, so he cannot have the benefit of doubt anymore.
It was unrealistic to believe that he has now performed miracles all of a sudden, if the done deals will fail now, there wont be a coincidence.
Of course Conte and Marotta had access to the development a couple of days before they will be formally announced.
We need to filter out the lies and the excuses, that will be used, in order to mininise the prestige damage to the club and accept things as they are.
We know that once Marotta gives his word, he doesnt take it back, he may be incompetent, but he is honest, an open book really, so what really happened cannot be cloaked...
So, despite his past mistakes and ill behaviour, personally i take the risk to exonerate him from the Conte fiasko, if he prooves that he actually did his job this time!
