Conte speaking out against the regime is music to my ears. Straight from the horses mouth.
Uh they are in third behind AC and Napoli by four points?
Facts, whatever
I have 0 bias against Conte, but at the same time I'm not a spurs supporter so I can say things objectively.
Example spurs having one of the best stadiums in the world, or playing beautiful football under Poch Especiallyin 2016 and 2017.
At the same time I have no love for Conte and I'll evaluate his pros and cons as a manager. I said it from the start Levy and Conte will never work
Troll alertYou already are. It's been a month.
If you’re not a Spurs supporter just fucking do one
Enough trolls as it is
Well there are no signs of it not working yet. We already knew the second team is rubbish, now he has found it out too. We will see what happens next.
Spot on, perfect addition to everything I said. Totally agree that this might actually be a blessing in disguise in the long run. A needed kick in the ass for everyone.
As an example, probably the most important game of Conte's career with a star studded lineup a must win game to secure qualification which is desperately needed for Inter's finances and Conte looked absolutely clueless

I think that following United reaction, tonight, our fans have shown there's no more patiently waiting and crossing fingers; it's up to Levy to deliver for a proven world class manager that we've got (did well to get, but to waste would be not forgiven). It's the board who now have to act.
What's going to happen? Conte isn't the man for a long rebuild.
Levy isn't going to spend big, Conte isn't going to tolerate that as he's been a short term appointment throughout his career.
Potter would be the right choice just not the crowd pleasing choice, that's my honest opinion
Absolute moron...... If you think that's so-called damage control you have SERIOUS reading problems.

I actually agree with this, that he fucked up. Mura, this for them was the game of their lives. That’s the problem in this competition, we were CL finalists not long ago, you cant motivate against ashit nobody team but they are hyper motivated against you. I would have played the youth team throughout in this comp that way it is expected to lose and it doesnt matter, and of course the comp does not matter it can only drag you down.
In the short term if even Conte cant get this team to win, then Levy might finally be convinced that the players are rubbish and there will be a clearout. That in itself is a big plus.
Potter wasn’t going to leave midseason so it’s really a moot point.
Much rather take the chance with Conte. If it doesn’t work, we can sign Potter whenever Conte leaves. He’s going to be around.
Not living in fans dreamland doesn't make me a troll. Conte is a fans appointment so obviously there's going to huge optimism but it's just a sign of a short sighted sporting project.
Barcelona and Liverpool don't go for the big name managers for a reason. It's about long term stability and building a project. Clubs like Chelsea and PSG where you have unlimited money go for the Contes of the footballing world as they'll spend.
Tottenham historically has never been that club, Levy isn't going to turn a new leaf and become Roman Abramovic, a project is needed and Potter would have been the one.
A reliance on youth and clearing the dead weight with an up and coming manager would have set the course straight
Right; so that's why we lost tonight?
Why are you even here? Is this some kind of sad coping mechanism cos Barca are falling apart and you're having to fanboy for Messi at a dirty petro-club now?
Oh yea and look at how good things are turning out at Barcelona. One of the the biggest clubs in the world and and getting their butts whipped by Benfica. After pep, theyve just gone more and more downhill.
