Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You mean when we got to the CL final "weren't working"? Or when he tried to resign that summer "weren't working"? Or are you going on about the diamond? Things haven't gotten any better since Poch thus making your take even more ridiculous. There is one thing in common and that is the players...and Conte seems to be calling them out as well. Interesting.


Doesn't preclude you from being wrong in the end though. If you are suggesting that yours is not a biased take or agenda then great! But I wasn't suggesting that it was. I was, however, suggesting that it is not a reasonable conclusion with all the evidence available to us.
I think the way it has gone since poch was sacked clearly proves the people saying ‘it’s the coach that is the problem’ were wrong!
 
Hopefully we learn from the disappointments of both Mourinho and Conte tbh and we stop trying to turn ourselves into something we're not.

Neither of those two care about the club. They are both ridiculously miserable human beings which has not only reflected on the style of play but seeps down towards us as fans. We are miserable as a fanbase, as a club right now because Conte himself is fucking miserable. Let's be real.

Stop with the quick fix appointments and fucking build towards something that makes us proud as a club. The fucking essence of Spurs. Get someone in who understands what Tottenham, at heart, is all about. The same way Pochettino got us. The same way in essense that Jol knew. We lost our identity because we chose a short path to glory without supplying that path with what it needed.

Fuck the board but ultimately fuck Conte too. The cunt's a hypocrite that preaches patience, the need for more time, more transfer windows, only to then cry and throw the club under the bus because of his mundane tactics and game management that means he can't change shit up or get a hold of his team when we are 3-1 up against a fucking bottom of the table club.

Hope he's sacked tomorrow. Ryan Mason isn't the answer, but fuck me, at least the guy is Spurs through and through and knows what this club is all about and the identity of this club. Because that is something that needs to be reinstated right away.
 
His grasp of English is vastly better than I thought it was. He freed himself of the contractual shackles of post match interviews and it was beautiful to see.
The only word he needs to add to his vocabulary is ‘cunts’. Would have added the perfect rhetorical flourish today.

I hate it because it’s true.

But he’s a fucking cunt. Don’t this to the club that pays you, respect the fans.

He's respecting the fans ... he's digging the players out (finally) for not showing passion for the shirt.

Well said, I say. Hopefully it lights a fire under their arses ... but I doubt it.

Knowing Levy, he'll probably sack Conte for this.
 
Seriously, the most damning comments a manager has ever come out with for a club he works for? Exactly the kind of comments I said we'd hear when he leaves ....once again if anything I was too fucking optimistic, he can't even wait that long to get it off his chest!

WE ARE RAN BY FUCKING PARASITIC CHARLATANS.
I thought it would be after he got sacked. Great news he is calling them out & more & more are seeing through enic & levy. Sorry guys but I am going to take our managers word over airfixx, shadydan, topspur, Steve & the likes. Crazy I know!
 
He's calling out both the board and the players for this culture of failure.
And he spent the bulk of the rant criticizing the players. A lot of people hearing what they want to hear, but this was mostly aimed at the players and likely prompted by the fact that consistently when we fail the stories are always about ownership and the manager and the transfer budget, but rarely ever about the fact that our players just never seem to give a fuck. Year after year we bottle it, and year after year they just fuck straight off to Ibiza and come back in August ready to do it all again.

Maybe the reason we struggle to offload players is because the rest of the world can see it. Happy to participate.
 
15 million pounds should buy crrativity, adaptability, commitment and without being stereotypical, defensive competence.

It's on Conte but fcuk me we have too many players who don't want to be winners.

3rd was waving at them ahead of the international break and we surrendered it.

Constantly disappointed. Rarely surprised.

First thing a new manager does is need to find a leader of men.
It’s not certain players faults that they are mid-lower table players, if we are being honest. But it’s their lack of effort & desire which is disappointing. At least give 💯, be hungry & Seem bothered!
 
Only just seen the press conference. Wow. Needed to be said to be fair. Levy and the players must be wetting their knickers right now.

If Levy doesn't sack him by Monday morning I'll be stunned. Players won't play for him anymore. Get rid.
 
Is he right? Probably
Should he have said it now? probably not
When he does fuck off ( and he will ) He can say it then.
I was unaware that Conte lost 27 million in a shitty deal that went wrong and he took the Spurs job just to up his bank balance. I'd cite it if I could find it.
 
Levy will have shit himself hearing this he’s been on cruise control for years nobody can touch him Conte has called him out….he’s getting as well paid as well as Conte is, Conte is right regarding the squad and the club its stale nothing will change, well it will Conte will walk into the sunset get another club and carry on being a winning coach we in the other hand will get a new manager of sorts (Pochettino) he will rock up say the right things and for a short while everything will be grand but gradually it will be the same old…..
 
Well the Genie is now well and truly out of the bottle. I don't like Conte's football or his sulky manner, but well said sir.

By jove, well said.

There is a simple view I take when faced with a deteriorating situation. If you are not part of the solution, you have to be, however you want to dress it up, absolutely have to be, part of the problem.
And that Mr. Levy is the question you have to answer.

Yep.

This was a "Them or me" rant from Conte towards Levy.
