There isn't much of an appetite to be discussing Chelsea on this site, but I'm curious what others might think.
They just lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth, a terrible result to be sure. They haven't looked good at home most of the year, so it was coming. They still have managed to be third in the league, make the semis of the league cup, move on in the FA cup, and start the next round of the Champions League.
I've been reading several comments, stating Conté has lost the team, and needs to go, and frankly, I can't believe it.
It's one thing with Wenger, whom I feel is a good 2 years past his expiration date, and another with Mourinho, who has proven to be enough of an asshole/sociopath to run himself out of any situation he obtains. I don't see how Conté merits this kind of treatment. He seems like a very good coach, and won the league in his first season. He hasn't exactly sucked.
Is it his war with Mourinho in the press? His personality and language difficulties? Or is it just what Chelsea is about under Abramovich?
I'm a bit of a fan, and sense they may come away empty handed this season, but is that such a disaster? If he wants to stay, I would definitely keep him on board.
Any thoughts?
