Well, hope not.
When/if he comes back, I want him to be a more well-rounded manager.

SeriouslyGOAT you're like a psycho toddler, speed-crawling around, following me everywhere, biting my ankles.
Didn't you promise to put me on ignore, months ago??? lol
Can you, please, just do it (you can't, can you).
Serious question now - and it's just a yes/no answer.
Would you like me to put you on ignore? Just a yes or no will do.
Poch was pragmatic. So was Jol. How did it end up?
Conte is shrewd. He knows he will remain blameless for this. He's showing Levy what he needs and he is forcing the issue. I doubt he wanted the extra games so he may have even thrown this deliberately.
Conte needs players. He will do whatever it takes or go somewhere else if Levy fails to deliver.
Fair play to him. Something has to give and Conte knows that once you start compromising you are a candidate for mediocrity.
If you're going to threaten me with bin votes, because I challenge what you accuse me of - instead of backing up what you accuse me of - then you'd better.
I think I live way too much in your head (for whatever reason... a crush, probably).
Either way, makes no difference.
You can't bring yourself to do it.
And even if you did, wouldn't last long.
You be back, soon enough... nippin' at my ankles. *sigh*
*gnaw* *gnaw* *gnaw*
When Conte has won, is it when his team's have had the highest value? Or has he won without him on paper has been coaching the best team?
Is he as a manager making his team better than the sum of it parts or is he in fact making it worse, but since he has the best team he has won anyway?

Never had the best team in the CL, this season is his best performance.
What part of yes/no question did you not understand.
Clearly not the 'thinktank' you think you are!
Here's an idea - post something I agree with, I'll agree with you. Post something I don't, and I won't.
It's a very simple concept, which means even the likes of you must understand it.
I do feel sorry for you though, so I'll take pity on you. I don't usually enter a battle of wits with unarmed men, so I'll drop it.
You're welcome!
Now, get back on topic, or shut the fuck up. You are boring everyone on here.
I'd imagine when he won the league at Chelsea, City had a more expensive team. And when he was at Inter you'd think Juventus still had the most expensive squad, but not 100% sure on that one as it's Italian football.
He definitely had the most resources at Juventus, though. He also did a pretty good job with a very shit Italy squad.
He's averaged two points per league game which probably gets Spurs Champions League football and gets Conte a huge bonus.
Entertaining the supporters is no longer the priority at THFC. Filling the mega dome for the 'glory glory' nights and pints of Beavertown is the new objective.
He also finished above more expensive teams in the prem last season.
You don't dictate to me how I answer your posts, dufus.
It was a request and I declined.
Yeah I don't think it's fair to characterise him as a manager who needs to have the best squad/the most resources. He needs the right tools for the job but they don't all need to be gucci material. Just players who fit what he wants to do.
I'd fairly describe his teams as greater than the sum of their parts, more or less.
If the players think Conte is off at the end of the season then it's going to make them psychologically despondent. They must be thinking the clock is ticking down for the hotel dweller. We'll be trying to get new players in January, with Conte having 5 or 6 months left on his contract.
It's a strange situation maybe it's why we've turned so shit. We're in limbo.
Nah, he's staying and they're aware imo.
Just got stuff to sort out.
We're still in transition, and it's not his squad, yet.
But he still needs to fix-up, himself, in a couple departments.
Good advice, you should pass this onto him.
I thought Conte was playing Royal because he was more concerned about not conceding a goal than attempting to score a goal. Spurs under Conte only seem to really try and score a goal when we are desperate for one. Counter attacking football, at home, against average opposition is not Tottenham is it?
A conservative approach against the very best teams could just about be tolerated. Conte's tactics, team selections and substitutions are now very much part of the current problem. He's probably falling out with the deadbeats in the squad who know the game is up. Hugo and Dier are giving free gifts away every week at the moment.
Why does capital with the fans even come into it, and sack him for what?
- Qualifying for the knock-out stages of the CL
- being 4th going into the WC where some players are obviously nervous of injuries?
- For having a depleted squad due to injuries and not trusting fringe players?
- For saying to compete, we need two more transfer windows?
- For saying lots of games in a short space of time has fatigued players?
- For getting knocked out of a nothing cup
Sure some fans will moan. I've lost count of the times i've read:
"I don't care if we lose, just as long as we give it a go and the football looks nice"
I call utter BS on that, those same people would be calling for his head if after playing well, we didn't see a game out, or if individual mistakes happened. There's no way the melts in match thread would be happy, no way.
At the end of the day, we need more quality depth, and this isn't achieved overnight. We've spent some decent money, and in large bought well since last winter. If this continues I don't see any reason why we won't transition to more expansive type of football.
His juventus team was clearly stacked but he took them from 7th to 1st. Serie A was not that impressive at the time and only getting 2 UCL spots. His 2 CL seasons were QF and group stage exit.
His Chelsea team were weird hit and miss. 10th the season before the title and 5th after but won the title 2 years prior. We were the only competition that year and we are spurs.
Inter was a good title. There was no dominant side, juventus had fallen off and there were several similar sides that he beat out. There was no dominant side to compete against.
Obviously he’s a good manager but he’s also been in good situations. He’s never beaten out a powerhouse with an underdog (few have). Klopps 2 bundesligas are more impressive IMO.
That's why he intrigued me when coming here...... Anyone that can't boast that isn't of much use to us.
