It depends on perspective as to whether or not Antonio Conte has been an early success or failure at Chelsea.
A club of the Blues' size and stature doesn't allow for anything between those margins. Managers either make a difference and are successful, or they get the chop and disappear into the ether. As we've seen with Roman Abramovich, not many fall into the former category.
The jury remains out on Conte. There is a large group of Blues supporters who are advocating the principle of time being afforded to the Italian; then there are others frustrated with the manner in which Chelsea lost to Liverpool and Arsenal last month.
