One point I think was overlooked was Gary Neville I thought he got rather salty about Conte saying he burns everyone out after 2 years and walks that’s why Man U never went for him as they need a long term manager I think that is bullshit he’s fucking worried it may all turn out different at spurs.
I think it's a credible expectation to be fair because he dosen't stick around, so I am fully excepting him to leave at the end of next season and I'm writing this off the back of the news that's he's staying (no official announcement, don't know if he's signing new terms etc...).

Even if we win the league he could still leave.

But it's about reading the situation that counts. So, for me I've been 95% sure he's staying this season even in the midst of all the PSG rumours etc. It just didn't fit with the work he was doing at the Club, how the team was performing/improving under him.

The conditions around the Club right now are fucking perfect for him:
1. He's proven himself to the Spurs fans and board that he's got it.
2. The Club have made CL ($$$)
3. The Club have had it's 1st full year at the stadium with paying fans ($$$)
4. The players like him and have responded to him
5. We have a DoF who appears (with Conte) make some good singings
6. Best stadium in the Wolrd
7. Best Training ground in the World
8. This is the biggest league in the World (where most of the best managers are right now)
9. We are the 3rd best team in the league. With wobbles at our competitors at Chavs, Man U and little old Woolwich. With my hopeful hat on will Liverpool be able to maintain what they are doing as the core of their team hit +30!? (I've failed at this prediction before, 3rd time lucky). Whilst City are miles ahead we deservedly beat them twice last year, this has got to make him feel optimistic.
10. £150m cash injection to invest in the squad + CL + matchday rev
11. A lot of the foundation's hard work on drilling the team has already been done. It's adding layers to this, sprinkling stardust, deepening his philosophy with the entire squad.

A final point and a further bit of wishful thinking rather than using anything factual but as he gets older, how many more "big" clubs would he go to? One thing where I agree with Carra on is you stay as a manager if you're good, if you're doing a good job.It's totally irrelevant say 'X' Club are looking for a long term manager, if he doing a shit job then he gets fired, even if the intent was for him to be at the Club for life. If klopp fucked up LFC would fire him. So maybe if the relationship between him and the club remains positive and he continues to improve the team then the club will do what they can to keep him. Winning something at Spurs would make him a club legend (not a status he enjoys at Chavs or would get if he went to PSG).

There's a lot of upside at Spurs, the only Club that's as good as guaranteed to challenge to PL is City, LFC "may" drop off, and everyone else we are sitting prettier than them.

Liverpool will still be a force despite the aging squad. Because, you know, Ventolin…
