Yeah this. I think being 4th with 15 games left he isnt likely to get sacked before the end of the season, we'd really have to flatline for that to happen. I did think it more than possible after the Woolwich and City defeats but we've stabilised a bit since then. Equally i just cant see a new contract happening, i think it suits both parties to move on at the end of the season.

True, still wouldnt rule it out completely, a few more like Leicester.... lose to Chelsea and go out to Milan and fingers will be pointed again. Seems we just dig out enough wins to prevent a full meltdown. Its not pretty though and i'll be more than happy to change come June no matter what we do.I hope you're right... Not gonna lie; the Lester result scared the shit out of me.
Can't bring myself to think more than one game at a time.
On the flipside, after getting owned by them last season, there is the perfect motivation for Conte to show that he has improved us if we finish this season with a draw at theirs and a win at home.True, still wouldnt rule it out completely, a few more like Leicester.... lose to Chelsea and go out to Milan and fingers will be pointed again.

Post match presser, Conte probably not back until after Chelsea according to Steli
Webster is a bit underrated I think. He is a good player.If Conte's system requries top draw ball playing CBs. Then how are Brighton pulling off almost the same system with Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster?
Being comfortable with the ball is important. But good coaches make their players better in those aspects or to cover the weakness.

He's got a sort-of Keith Burkinshaw style - really understated way of speaking with carefully chosen words (not easy in Stellini's case, with English not his first language), but you just know that there's an awful lot going on underneath that veneer.
SOS pod (who are pretty well connected within the club) seem convinced among many others that a Summer Pochettino reunion is what’s happening.
There are rumours that AC Milan want to appoint him in the summer.in Italy the only team that could hire him is juventus, but they have problems.
I don't see conte leave the EPL to coach teams like lazio or fiorentina
He's hanging out with Ardilles and supposedly lives in the same neighbourhood, possibly on the same street as Levy.I reckon someone from the club has already a word with Poch tbh.
Emerson Cafu!Name to me one player that has taken consistent step up under Antonio Conte for Tottenham.

Dont forget Winks coming back and the Triangle!Can't wait for the meltdown when Poch comes back and Dier, Davies etc are all still utterly wank most weeks.
All the people complaining "eeee shood nevah ave been sacked" will be calling for his head inside 18 months.
Sorry, calling it as I see it.
