Manager Antonio Conte

I think we'll get a draw at Leeds...or somehow manage to win it, but won't be pretty. Boro knocks us out of the FA Cup, probably on pens. Then a bore draw at home to Everton...or friggin Lampard finds something special and they beat us. Conte to go after 1, 2 or 3...matter of when, not if. And that's a fucking crying shame, cause give him a proper team built around Kane, and we'd be challenging.
Sure there'll be protests, letters sent from the Supporters' Trust to the board etc etc, but Levy & his pals will just ride the storm. And it'll eventually pass because, very much like a large part of our squad, lots of Spurs fans have no backbone and they'll keep paying their ST, buy the new shirt and other merch...
Fucking hell, I just read the quotes.
Hardly seems a happy bunny, who would have thought it? Oh yeah, everyfuckingone.

Sorry, pal...usually really like your posts, but if you're talking about the quotes from which you assumed Conte meant he'd been lied to, that wouldn't stand in court. And even if that's what Antonio had said openly, so what...you're just gonna take his word for it? Thought there was always two sides to a story...
Let's be clear, I absolutely hate Levy and I sure wouldn't put it past the bald villain to lie to a manager, even a top one like AC, to get him to sign...but as of now, there's zero evidence that happened.
Conte to PSG.
Poch to Real.
Carlo to Spurs.
Wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened...
It didn't work under JoMo, they'll all just crawl under a rock
He's holding us back unless he Lynx us up with some decent players
I agree it is a bad fit if Levy is unwilling to change his ways which have shown to be a failure and bad way to run the club.
However, if Levy was willing to run the club like a successful club with ambition I think Conte was a great fit for us to that going forward.
That bitching and moaning should have been a positive to show Levy how wrong he has been, what he needs to do to change and not just lie down to Levy's crap.
I think Poch, even though he tried, was unable to show Levy the problems at the club. Even though he outright said what needed to be done Levy refused to listen.
Jose was happy to have a job at our club so was willing to say anything to Levy to get and then keep the job.
We need Conte pointing out how shit the players are so that Levy can. hopefully, finally realize all the players he overrates aren't close to good enough. Unfortunately it appears that Levy will not listen even to a manager of Conte's pedigree.
Hard to imagine anything is going to change even with a "normal" season. If Levy is already pissing off Conte and having two crap windows in a row why would you think we are likely to spend money wisely going forward.
Yes the stadium could be a valuable asset for us going forward, but if we still operate like Levy has been doing for years it won't matter much other than to keep us from dropping below Wolves and Leicester but not likely to significantly step above them and certainly not keep up with Liverpool.
If we are 3rd to 8th playing good (doesn't even have to be great football) bringing in quality players is great. Being 3rd to 8th playing god awful football because we lack so much quality and show that we have zero ambition to bring in quality players is a pretty shit situation. Obviously better than being in relegation battles but I think our ambition should be much higher than that.
Unfortunately , it’s the crux of the problem. There really is no forward planning thought into the process. Just winging it!
Indeed, particularly a playmaker who knows how to spray balls here there and everywhere.
He literally said we are buying players that are young prospects that can be developed and not ready players and 'that is the issue'. But NOW he realises what the vision of the club is. If he wasnt lied to, he was definitely not told complete truths
Dele brace, written in the fucking stars that is...
Darts is actually a massive sport in England where Brits actually call these participants “athletes”. Makes you wonder about the mentality of British adults using your logic.

Those pints don't drink themselves.
Never heard of a darts player being referred to as an athlete. Where did you get this info?
To be honest, if Dele celebrates by taking off his shirt to reveal a message saying "Levy is a fucking cheap cunt ruining Spurs", I'm cool with him getting a hat trick
I think if AC goes, it's going to be virtually impossible to find a good manager. Our reputation, well, Levy's anyway....is just shit. No one experienced or ambitious is going to want the job. Especially if our best player goes. With Ronaldo making noises and Utd showing interest, it looks very dodgy for his future here. These are despairing times....
Conte & Levy were never going to get along but Conte knew the team he was inheriting & should have known he was never getting a blank cheque.
I think what he said was a product of his frustration with the players themselves. He is a proven winner & expects a winning attitude from everyone around him.
