You’re talking about past performance whilst ignoring current performance, plus a multitude of other factors (not signing a contract for one.)
Do you honestly think his press conference got a good response? Do you think Levy walked into the dressing room, saw a team galvanised by that performance in front of the world’s media and then thought “nah fudge it, I’ll fire him anyway.”
We all wanted what you’re saying, the reality is totally different.
All you need in those situations is to get the players out of their comfort zone. They have to arrive at training in emergency mode. They have to understand losing 2 points is unacceptable and to be ready to work to rectify it.
Last season Conte was saying he'd quit - literally saying this in press conferences. Afterward, we went on a run of winning almost every game.
