Conte sacking Inevitable

Roman a hard task master?

Not even Winning the league saves you from Roman Abramovich.

I’ve literally lost count the number of managerial changes at Stamford Bridge over the last couple of years. Since the inception of the Abramovich era we realized the high bar the owner set for the club and rightly so. Roman has pumped millions into the club and must see a return on investment in the form of trophies. This often ruthless stance on manager’s tenure at the club has been well documented and shirked upon. Most pundits agree that sacking the mangers doesn’t fix the boat, although some may lament it can stabilize it as in the case of Andre Villas-Boas, who had a horrid time in the Chelsea dugout while the subsequent one Di Matteo helped bring the European silverware to the Bridge, even though he found himself on the wrong end of Roman’s rope.

Horrid time at Chelsea

Conte’s Chelsea is currently fifth and if they can’t get pass Leicester City this weekend it will probably spell the end for Conte. Key players look not to be up to scratch. Courtois can be held accountable for all three goals against Barcalona as well as the fading Cahill who has left a gaping hole not ready to be filled by Andreas Christensen. The young man though, does have a place in the Chelsea squad come 2018/2019 as he has showed while he cannot shackle a Lionel Messi, he is fully adapt at hassling premiership forwards week in week out.

Dip in form

This dip in Chelsea’s season has meant they only won 5 games of their last 17 fixtures. Track back to a touch of Samba, on July 1st, 2008 World-Cup winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari form similarly dipped just has Conte’s own has. On the back of a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool and goalless draw at Hull City it signaled the end of the former.

Conte has seen better days

With a lack of form and a growing divide between the manager and the owner it is only inevitable he departs. The bigger question is. . . when exactly will this happen? Is it, let's say, after another string of  bad results or will he be given until the end of the season, he did win the premier league in his first season but we all know that means very little to the hierarchy.
