Everything pre-COVID feels about 50 years ago! But yeah, top bloke!

But despite the rumours if no one approached him from Juventus about the job and he is offered an extension and payrise why wouldn't you take it?
Conte won't be long term, have no doubt about that but if we are trying to get him it shows to me that Farhad and Usmanov are continuing to support us.

He has been approached.
It's no coincidence that he's come out with his latest quotes
First chance he got he'd be gone, just like Carlo, great manager, like Carlo, but you can not build any foundations with these kind of managers in charge and we above all need some stability.

Matured with Belgium though. He managed us as if we had that team and it suits him and a squad like that. I don't think he'd be any better defensively, I really don't
I accept that there is baggage, but I know I couldn’t go on watching the football we have suffered for the last few years.
I would dance with the devil to change that.
We are a club imagining we can chase top four whilst simultaneously looking over our shoulder afraid of relegation. Our squad had big gaps that need addressing and we will have FFP limitations to contend with.
We need a manager who will stick around, is a safe pair of hands that won’t get us embroiled in relegation, whilst also has a skill set to get us moving towards the top four. I don’t think many of them fit into those categories. We could go for an tried foreign manager and it may work out great or it could be a dark disaster. We could go for a Premier League manager from the lower end and hope they have the skill set to improve us, or we could go for a manager experienced in all those areas.

Exactly. For the last 5 years he’s managed Newcastle and Dalian Professional in China. Not a chance he’s good enough for what we need. I’d be seriously pissed off if we appointed him.

At this stage he needs us more than we need him… never any point holding a grudge but bottom line is we can do better… and he showed his character back then. Not a person that fits our values…
It again seems like a lack of a coherent vision. Conte is a quick fix - give him lots of money and get us into the CL in one or maybe two seasons. Then he’s off but we’re in a better position to get another top manager. That’s maybe Moshiris thought process if there’s any genuine interest.
On the other hand, we go for someone who will stay long term, work within certain parameters in terms of recruitment and try to build success that way.
Just looked on the news now we are linked to most managers.....its wait & see time .....
That certainly is a fact.
…I imagine he’d love this job & I bet he’s really regretting what he said.
It's always been 'wait and see time'. We have very little influence on how the club approach managerial recruitment.

Remember how unfit we were when Martinez was here, always used to lose goals in the last 10 minutes because the team were goosed. I expect Belgium don't have that problem as he is only with them for 10 days at a time, 6 or 7 times a year.
