    The problem is his huge contract with Chelsea. He’s taking them to court right now, if it gets resolved soon he might be more inclined to take lower wages at Roma, otherwise he could be risking a ton of money.

    Yeah, playing process of elimination with available jobs makes him a candidate , but I'm not sure it makes him more viable.

    I was listening to a podcast today with some reporters , and apparently Roma put out feelers to Mourinho (as they did in 2016) , but he wasn't interested again.

    Perhaps that means he's in the running for a return to Inter - I have no idea. I know he has ties to the club , but once Beppe was brought in , I always felt Conte was more of a fit.

    There's also the report circulating that Conte demanded 10m per season from Inter. No idea if that's true , but that's in an entirely different stratosphere to what we pay our managers.

    Guess we'll find out.

    I'd much rather have a beer or pizza with Gasperini than Conte.

    But, I'd much rather Conte be Roma's coach than Gasperini.

    You also don't think Nainggolan is a good player so I'm not sure which world you are even living in.

    No, you just have poor reading comprehension and take everything that isn't praise as some insult to your favorite toy.

    I believe you mean Dzeko will start every game he's not suspended for.

    Bring in Gasperini so I can at least feel alive during our games again.

    To give Claudio his due, we have improved against the 'lesser teams' (SPAL notwithstanding)....but against Napoli and again tonight, we were awful.

    This top 4 race is a bit like an actual race in which everyone trips up just before the finish line but one competitor lucks out and stumbles over that finish line first...because, you know, somebody has to win.

    I honestly do not see what is wrong with this. If getting Conte guarantees you top 4 finishes in each year, how is that not worth it? We might even challenge for a title.

    It doesn’t guarantee top 4 finishes so what’s the point. He’s only managed super rich clubs

    I don't think that's that much for a coach like Conte. There are other reasons I don't want him here for.
