That doesn’t make sense. There’s more chance of a vacancy at a top club now rather than in the summer.

Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
That doesn't make economic sense from Conte's point of view.
The welcome video will be released Thursday morning.
So has he signed or not? Jeez
By January they could (and probably will be) marooned with Norwich. Money or not, they won't be an attractive proposition to top class players and managers yet.
imagine the first interview,
conte i heard levy flyed you on a private jet
he fucking didnt i flew econemy class on ryan air

I'll cut Tanguy some slack he's worked hard last few times he has played, and I honestly think he's turned a corner in terms of commitment, I actually think this appointment will excite him.
Right now I think he is the least of our problems.
Get Kanes balls sweating again for starters
Perhaps not top class, but players will sign for them. Remember Robinho was the first signing for city.
The board must be completely shitting themselves about now.
If they don't spend in January and back the new man they can get fucked.

No manager worth their salt should be taking that job at this moment. You would have to be mad. Expectation is insane with champo quality players.
Said this back in May, but Conte is probably the only manager that nearly all Spurs fans can agree on.
People that think the squad needs to be gutted completely? Conte will have no qualms about that if it is needed. He's worked with Paratici before and those two are well positioned to do what is necessary. He's only going to work with players he thinks will be committed to winning at Spurs. Whatever decision he makes the supporters will 100% be on board with.
People that think the squad strength is good, just needs a few players and a tactical identify that suite the squad AND Spurs? Conte obviously has had a ton of success in his career and his methods work for a wide variety of players. Look at his Juventus, Chelsea and Milan squads. He's also not a Mourinho clone - his teams are well-drilled, but also prolific in attack. They have a plan regardless of where the ball is on the pitch.
People that think it's really Levy/ENIC that are the problem (which is pretty much everyone)? Well they are still here, but this has to be the weakest and most vulnerable they've been in two decades. Their asset is plummeting in value. Sponsors are not going to want to be associated with a clown car club. Conte should have all the leverage he needs. Spurs only spent about £30m less than Inter during Conte's time there, so there's really no excuse with the debt refinanced and the stadium at full capacity.

Same here.... WE haven't offered HIM an 18month contract ... He's offered US one!!!
Maybe he squeezed a bumper offer out of Levy and Co for the contract, even if it's short term, and he's more than happy to walk away if it doesn't pan out. He seems like the kind of bloke who does things his way.
In any case, it's just a guess on my part. I do wonder why he would accept a caretaker contract if that's really what it is.
Well said BC.
And if I get your sentiment you are suggesting we should have gone with a more developmental coach. Someone that perhaps did time with a club's academy team before rising to take over a first team somewhere. Perhaps someone that shown the managerial chops to take his teams into Europe and take big scalps while playing some entertaining football. And bonus points if he's done this good work at more than 1 club. And since we can't get Potter right now that leaves only 1 person that I can think of...
He's got his team in the european places again...
They weren't rooted to the bottom of the table without a win. Like I say, if this was a couple of months back at the start of the season perhaps. I just can't see Conte wanting a relegation on his CV. I don't doubt Newcastle will be back up and well ahead of us within 3 years, but not yet.
could see kessie and ginter as two good options for conte, both cheap and both in prime
Has to be. We haven't got a leg to stand on, while he could wait out until PSG, United or Madrid job. I hope his contract has assurances he will be in control and not just another "head coach" who has to work with Levys shit squad.
It definitely feels a bit like the old adage of "if its too good to be true, then it usually is".
