Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Even if he is saying some harsh truths he is actually deliberately humiliating the club in order to go early with a payoff. And he is to blame for the shit football we play and he is responsible for morale amongst the squad.

Just fuck off.
 
It’s so frustrating

Most people who have avoided criticising Conte aren’t doing it because they like what they see.

It’s because we know we’ll be in exactly the same place in 12-24 months with whatever new manager they bring in.

Burning through managers is treating the symptom not the illness that lies at the heart of our barren ENIC decades

Exactly, the club also knew what Conte was before hiring. This ain’t anything new, Conte is a distraction as are all managers under ENIC, ENIC is the problem.
 
Agree with everything you've said Antonio, but you need to take a hard long look at yourself.

For a so called world class manager, your tactics are shit. You have no plan B whatsoever.

You do not use your squad to it's maximum ability, choosing to play certain players that are so out of form it'll be so easy to drop them and not face any inquests.

I have watched Spurs for over 40 years and I love my fucking club, and you maybe giving the large one about the players and the owner now, but it's too little, too late. Fuck off now, and take the gimp chairman with you.
 
Holy shit the irony - the guy who can't seem to ever take blame himself is talking about others using excuses to deflect blame.

It goes without saying the players need to be accountable, but Conte has never ever once pointed the finger at himself.
He has said he's to blame as well though. Of course he is to blame but nothing he's saying tonight is unjustified.

He's said what many fans say about our owner and players. About time they heard it from a manager. Let them take their medicine.
 
Fuck off mate, you don’t get to slag off the club when your football is diabolical and you can’t send out a team to beat dross.

Obviously the club has plenty of faults but anyone buying this shit is very simple. He’s just trying to deflect from the fact he’s doing a terrible job.
 
Conte is bang on about the low expectations at the club and the comfortable atmosphere that has players like Davies making 300 appearances and Dier still starting every game.

I expected these kind of comments earlier on in his tenure and for him to really challenge the board but they never really came until now. I guess he was keeping it under wraps and now he knows the jig is up so is speaking freely.

I don't think it's a conscious thing where the players don't care but they know that failure is basically fine here.

The old guard (Lloris, Kane, Son, Dier, Davies, Sanchez) are supposed to be the senior figures in the dressing room but they have never experienced success at club level and they are in the latter stages of their careers. They are simply used to failing.

I think that creates an uninspiring culture and over time the new energy with winning mentality (Romero, Bentancur, Kulu, Porro) slowly gets worn down and start coasting like the others.

And has been backed more than any other manager I remember, we have a good big squad of players he's just too stubborn to use most of them
