We're totally in the dark mate. Whatever we say is pure speculation...as you say.

Personally, I think we've known for years the board do the hiring and firing. I'd be amazed if Conte never knew the score before he signed...at the time we were all being told Conte couldn't even bring his own coaching staff in - alarm bells should be ringing for Antonio if he had any doubts. Again, we don't if CFC promised more than he actually got. All these people...owners, managers, players etc all wrapped up in the money side of the game where promises are reneged upon time and time again and not just in our board meetings at SB.

For me, his moans, his man management, his tactics, his stubborness and some of his in-game moves are enough for me to say he doesn't have too much in the locker. He's just the second Jose all over again...neither a patch on the young Jose who had flair and bravery.
