Klopp would be mad to go to Chelsea. And he won't go there.
I think Conte could do a good job at the Bridge - managing Juve has given him a pretty thick skin.
A major problem with Chelsea is the deficiencies within their squad - I spoke about it at the start of the season, when I boldly proclaimed Arsenal would be the top team in London. They have signed one first team squad ready non-attacking player in the last year. They shipped out Meireles, Essien and Drogba and now Lampard - physically they are totally lacking in their current guise. Ramires is having to play as a defensive midfielder, rather than a box-to-box engine - whilst David Luiz wanders all over the place, totally unstructured.
AVB tried to get rid of the old guard in his tenure and was castigated for it - hung out to dry and sacked. RDM embraced them and won the ECL. Benitez is stuck between a rock and a hard place, in terms of strategy.
In reality they are probably 3 signings away from being perfectly capable to compete with both the Manchester teams and safely regain their mantle as the top team in London.
