Today’s fluff better read between the lines
Roman Abramovich is so “furious” about Chelsea’s home humbling by Liverpool that his new manager, Antonio Conte, is already in trouble, says the Express in a report labelled as “exclusive” – in a scarlet font that is bright but considerably smaller than the red “exclusive” at the top of the Daily Star’s near-identical story. Conte’s “failure to turn around the obvious flaws in the squad” were “brutally exposed” in a defeat that “cranked up the pressure” on the Italian, says the Express though the good news is that if he manages to hang on until January he “is certain to be given funds”. The Star says Abramovich is “furious” and the manager “already under pressure”, though Conte “is known to be unhappy” about his new club’s failure to sign several summer targets. The Sun, which claims no exclusivity, also reports on Abramovich’s “late-night talks with Chelsea’s top brass”, but insists that he “is not under immediate pressure”.
