"And I don't like that. I don't like that, and we have to, and we're going to start working on that, telling the umpires they have to decide if it's a natural move, and so on.

But the biggest problem of all the clubs has certainly been the academy. He feels completely cut off under Conte and young players and coaches alike complain of being isolated and with no hope of breaking through.
