Dear Daniel, if you're reading this, get Conte and I'll buy a shirt with the nutters name on it.
Maybe even an elite one.
No shorts or socks though. I'm not a full kit wanker.

Edit: Nutters name = Conte. Not Nutter-Naylor Nutter-Naylor
Naylor is a far better name to get on a shirt.

Although you might start wanting to kick the complete cunt out of people if they happen to go past you in the street.

Coincidentally we need new full backs.
 
People genuinely believe the first thing they read. As soon as a source of no real reliability says theres a problem, everyone believes it!
 
I’ll be excited but very nervous if we get Conte. I’m just not sure we’re ready for him. He’ll cost a lot and demand backing and control that DL is going to be very uncomfortable with. I still think TH is a better fit for us. Cultured, classy and crucially used to developing talent, replacing players and keeping an identity of a team together through change. I’m still hoping we get him.
 
I love the way the poll votes swing, depending on who's the current favourite.
 
I can see us not getting Conte and ending up appointing Potter now the season ticket renewal deadline is passed. It is typical Levy brinkmanship negotiation tactics. He does not realise how close to being fucked because of his decisions we are.

The whole mess of a manager search has been a disgrace like the appointment of Mourinho. Their is no plan or reason to our footballing decisions. We have now got close twice in recent years to being a Club that really challenges and is constantly in the top 4 challenging for the league title but the simple lack of any recognisable plan halts us every time. Look at the summer we chased Isco who was a dream target at the time we were never wiling to pay the asking price but we tried to negotiate for weeks only when we missed out on him to completely overpay for Sissoko because he had a good euros when Chelsea bought Kant for £2m more and Liverpool bought Wijnaldum for less, both of whom are 20 times the player Sissoko has ever been.

Levy's entire MO is about looking to do the good deal and 'having' to settle for second best.

If someone like Conte is even entertaining the idea of managing us you do everything you can to bring them in.

Nobody is falling for Levy's bullshit these days.
 
People genuinely believe Conte isn't convinced despite 3 days of talks? He'd have said that after the first day if that were true.

I bet levy did his usual tactic of saying one thing at the start of negotiations and then saying something different at the end.

Day 1: “Of course Kane will stay”
Day 5: “What I meant was stay in the Premier League, because he’s going to City. So what I told you was true...from a certain point of view”
