Leeds legend Johnny Giles slams Chelsea board over Conte treatment

Disgusting, concludes Giles
Giles: "That's a huge statement of intent United have just made by signing Alexis Sanchez and a poke in the eye for every one of their rivals. Even the noisy neighbours across town must be miffed.
"City will regret this decision but if Pep Guardiola is feeling unsettled by Jose Mourinho's capture of a player who I believe is good enough to lift United to a new level, imagine how the current Premier League champion Antonio Conte is feeling.
"The way Conte has been treated at Stamford Bridge is nothing short of disgraceful and there seems no end to it. Mourinho raided his squad for one of his best men in the summer when he signed Nemanja Matic and while he was pushing hard to get Sanchez, Conte was making enquiries about Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch.
"That tells me a great deal even if it is not at all easy to understand how Chelsea went from winning the title to where they are now."
