TBH I think that's what we'd need. We have too many soft players who hide when the going's tough.

IF (and a big if obv) Conte came in, I think it tells Kane and Son, We're fucking serious lads. I also think if we're in the Europa he wants to win it!

TBH, I say this with gritted teeth, our next appointment should be a sign of intent to the players we want to stay than pandering to geeky Internet football fans who think they know everyone and everything
 
It is the exact same scenario but in reverse when Adebayor played for us.
Man City were topping up his wages.

Would we rather pay 100% of his salary to do nothing, or 50%.
We would certainly agree to it, absolute no-brainer

Only way something like this would not be true is if we have already settled Mourinho's compensation in full
We were still in negotiations and Mourinho cannot afford more time outside management. I have heard he took the hit to get straight back into manager to try to get people to forget his time at Spurs.
 
Sarri's one season in the PL he finished third, won Europa and gets to a domestic cup final. Won Serie A last year, Juventus this year are 4th with Pirlo.

I'd have him miles ahead of most names mentioned.
Maybe all but one Graham Potter 👍
Even winning this poll now by a country mile who would of thought that a few weeks ago?

Potter to Spurs is happening and I for one am very excited about that

Shove your Sarri’s and Martinez’s Benitez’s and Rodgers up your Conte

The two players I would worry for under Conte would be Tanguy and Dele.

Conte demands that his midfielders have a high workrate. He would not abide by anyone coasting.

Pierre and Gio I would not worry too much about. We know that they put in good shifts.

Weren't Inter trying to get Ndombele last summer?


According to RMC Sport, Ndombele remains ‘the priority’ for Conte and his squad, with many conversations about the player held between these two clubs.

But if Mournhos contract stipulated that we would continue to pay his salary until he finds a new job then we don't owe him a penny more once he takes the new job? The same applied to Poch, he continued to be paid when Levy sacked him until he got the PSG job. It's standard practice, clear and every club seems to operate like this.
 
If there is a third member of the Pep and Klopp club, it's Conte. Do everything to get that guy if possible.

From the ENIC perspective he makes every dollar you spend on the squad more valuable.

Of all the Chelsea sackings under Abramovich he was by far the stupidest.

Conte would be the closest thing to getting Prime Poch back, probably including getting the actual Poch back tbh.
 
Worth pointing out with the link to Conte that Inter are about to go in to financial turmoil - so don't rule it out entirely.
