Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Bit I've not heard focused on. It strikes me intresting that Conte wants 'This' job why. He could wait for United, for Newcastle even. For the Juventus job again...but he clearly wants the spurs job and did in the summer why?
Here's why we must do the deal.Conte is loaded he is an obscenely rich man. He is not a busted flush like Jose in a death spiral. He is a winner obsessed with winning.....and what are Spurs we are Sports biggest bridesmaids. Even an inspirational leader like Pochettino won nothing better yet a man he hates Jose couldn't do it...Conte is coming for his own ego he is coming to prove his greatness. The man is here to swagger into the best stadium in world football and prove he is the real deal. Spurs fans should be very very happy.
Spot on
 
It never once sat well with me seeing Jose in the spurs dug out. He was/is and always will be Chelsea. But with Conte it’s different, the guy is just a lunatic who loves to win and at no point will it ever not look right seeing him as spurs manager. Get him in the fucking door levy
 
Antonio'll come, tomorrow...
Betcha Bottom dollar that tomorrow.... he'll meet Son....
Just thinking about, Antonio,
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck a with team that's shit and losing...
I just dream of that win, and grin, and say.... oh
Antonio'll come, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Conte may...
Antonio, Antonio
I love ya Antonio
You'll play in the Tottenham way...

Not gonna happen, not Levy anyway

Also I'm not only talking about Conte walking now from the discussions but even if he signs and becomes manager he won't be sacred to walk away next summer if Levy doesn't give him what he wants. That's what he did at Inter in the summer.
Sacking a manager (and his whole staff) after 10 games to be left at the altar by the same guy with the same demands that led you to hire the failed manager in the first place and sending Mason or Ledley or Chirpy or fuck knows who out in a crunch European tie and who knows how many more would be a new low by some distance and Summer 2018 is one of the worst blunders in PL history.

Nothing will ever beat Sacking Jose 6 days before a cup final, people have forgotten about that because Jose is a cunt and it was on the day the ESL was abondoned but that is the biggest fuck up any owner will ever do at their club, fucking unbelievable.

No it’s not. The biggest fuck up was not sacking the turd three or four weeks earlier. We stayed in the game until the 85th min, would have probably been 3-0 down at HT under that prick
 
Juve finished seventh two times in a row before Conte took over. They won the scudetto right away in his first season and won it all of his three seasons there. Juventus has since won the scudetto every year until Conte won it with Inter this year. Conte took charge in Chelsea when they had finished 10th the previous season. Again, they were able to win the league right away. Second season they were fifth and first season after Conte left, they were third. Mourinho is known to leave ruins behind him but Conte actually leaves competitive teams behind him. This is of course great if he is not expected to stay long in Tottenham.

He has won the league five times during his last seven seasons and none of the teams were even close to winning the league before he took over. He really is a magician. Only Spurs can ruin him.

I suspect we will. Those teams had much better sides than us though didn’t they, Chelsea did anyway. Coming to us where the mentality of the club is nothing like Chelsea or juventus is the biggest challenge for him. A completely different kettle of fish to those two clubs.
 
We did, doesn't fit the narrative tho...

What narrative, the one where when we beat City we weren't in total freefall like we were by the time he was sacked? We lost 3-0 the last time Jose went up against them. Zagreb just pumped us 3-0 as well because Jose was totally done at this point and his 'tactics' weren't working, cup tie or not.

The idea that massive freefall would've halted for a one off game is baseless.
 
We beat City twice, fairly comfortably under Mourinho.
Ah yes fairly comfortably.

1st win - City red card in the 60th minute at 0-0. We scored 2 goals shortly after and won 2-0. Fairly comfortable win as we were only outshot 3-19 even though they had 10 men for a third of the game.

2nd win - Scored with our only 2 shots on target. Final shot total was 4-22.

Both of these were home games. Let's be honest, we got lucky.

The more recent game we lost 3-0 away to City and that was a generous scoreline. Outshot 15-7 but going from memory I believe almost all of those shots were once we were down 3-0.

It's possible Mourinho could have won the cup final. But based on his recent performances, it was not probable at all. Trying to say otherwise is not brave at all because no one can disprove you. He was shit and should have been gone weeks earlier.
