Oh look, now he's starting to cover his tracks

Everything was agreed with Conte, just legals. I have no new news really. Fck knows what has (if that is the case) what has blown his wig off now. Heard the whispers ‘playing us for a reason’ but can’t say that is the case, as I don’t know.
 
I am 90% certain Conte is adrift in the wind. Why would he need two days to 'think about it'. He knows what is on offer.

Hope I'm wrong but prepared for the worst.
Conversely, if he knows the offer, why take the weekend if he's just going to turn it down?

Klopp only turned down United because his wife told him to. Managers do strange shit all the time.

It's reading tea leaves at this point for everyone but Levy, Paratici and Conte.
 

All of the messages today are the same thing phrased differently:

Conte is thinking about turning down Spurs offer
Conte has held productive talks with Tottenham
Levy confident to get Conte deal over the line as talk progress
Conte has concerns about squad quality and transfers as talks continue
Tottenham determined to keep Kane and bring in players in bid to lure Conte
Negotiations progress between Conte and Spurs, a decision is expected after the weekend
Spurs promise cash injections as Conte mulls London opportunity

It's fucking mad libs. There's been no actual fucking news. It's the same thing that's been happening since Conte became the main target Tuesday. The only thing that actually happened is Levy hired Paratici as director of football, which is only good news when it comes to Conte coming.
 
If we get this Italian DOF and not Conte it would be like in most of my FM saves when I sign at the start of the transfer window what I think is gonna be the star player of my squad only for a few weeks later to find a much better player in the same position and wonder why the fuck I signed the former player in the first place. :avbnaa:

I agree. It’s a sad state of affairs that highlights how poor modern sports journalism is. There’s no leaks out end and so we are reliant on the most unreliable sports journalists on the planet (Italian) for any info. It’s all guesswork based off of limited info spun this way and that. There really is zero integrity.

I need to step away from it for a few days but it’s all so bloody addictive to follow. Doesn’t bode well for the transfer window if and when we sign a player!
 
Changed my vote to Leonardo Jardim, for two reasons:

1. He didn't have any votes.
2. I don't give a toss anymore.
 
To be honest, I'd rather Conte doesn't get the job if Levy won't back him.

No point in buying a Ferrari if you're not going to put petrol in it - our team is full of wanky players and it needs an overhaul.

Sort it out you bald cunt.
