There have been rumblings about some of the players being unhappy with the workload Conte puts them through in training, I wouldn't be surprised if a number of them would rather see him sacked than play for him.
Yes, it does look as though Chelsea players have wrapped their hands in again. "We're not going to play until we get a new boss." Quite shoddy behaviour, but footballers hold all the cards these days so Conte is just a dead man walking at Chelsea. And it looks like he knows it.
As soon as they get a new boss, the players will start trying again..... until they get fed up with the new bloke and then it will all start over again. And so it goes... around and round and round.....
