Manager Antonio Conte

[Château NoHo]

I just don’t trust your judgement as your love for levy means no matter what happens or is said, you say they are happy & have a good relationship. So keep me out your propaganda trying to say conte is happy with levy & vice versa. You’re on another planet so impossible to debate with you.
As for wouldn’t he be sacked now, Levy thought nuno would take us to the next level & ignored poch crying out for better players. He is unpredictable. Gets Jose to win a cup & then sacks him a week before the final. I wouldn’t be surprised if conte is here for our next game or sacked tonight.
But you aren’t going to get me to agree that he is just unhappy at the players. So give up on that.

You keep repeating this Nuno narrative.

I would suggest that Nuno was always an available, safe and temporary option when we couldn't get Conte that summer.

Don't forget the guy won PL manager of the month his first month in charge with us, a feat even Ryan Mason couldn't manage.

Yet this is the same Conte who basically said a couple of weeks ago that little old Spurs couldn’t expect to beat AC Milan (a team we’d never lost to before, as it happens).

Jose mourhino, and poch would often say similar really.
Poor little Tottenham can't compete because we're setup to not be a big club that demands trophies, we're just happy to be here

Seriously everyone demanding poch to comeback, why do you think he was going to resign if we won the CL.

The club is not in it to win under ENIC

He was a bad pick & failed. Fact. Now you are trying to say he was a success. But He failed & was a waste of money & time from levy. You ain’t changing my mind on that one. Sorry.

Club accepts board are wasters and players are bottlers.

I can imagine conte going on a passionate rant again with levy about the board & players being a loser & weak mentality etc. Expecting an emotional reaction from levy. But instead he just calmly nods & says “sounds about right tony. Fancy a mint?”
Then deducted out of his monthly wage is
1x pack of toffees.

That most Spurs' supporters seem to have a null (to) neutral feeling around Nuno would suggest that his short tenure here wasn't particularly disruptive or destructive.

Nuno was an easy, safe pick that was ultimately expendable when Plan A (Conte) changed his mind when Levy raised his salary package offer.

We can Captain Hindsight until the cows come home, but of all the things to rag on ENIC/Levy about, his ambitious managerial selection isn't one of them.

WTF are you talking about? I'm just reporting what Ali Gold said this morning!? I don't have the inside track. if he took a shot at levy why woudn't levy sack him?

I flew over for the match yesterday spent a fucking bomb renting a car, driving down and back to gatwick, staying overnight in gatwick and gettin up at 6 both mornings!

but yeah I'm delighted with the state of affairs.

Totally disagree. Nuno went wrong hence him sacking him. I think he failed, you don’t. We won’t change each others mind.
I & many others didn’t think nuno was a good pick. Not a captain hindsight issue. & his managerial selections are usually awful & a terrible fit in my opinion. The only one that can really work is long term progressive coaching type manager who get the best out of average players.

We are in this state of affairs under this chairman & owner who are ultimately responsible for the state of the club they run & own.. Yet you want them to stay despite saying you’re very unhappy with things. So it don’t add up to me.

Forget about whatever you perceive my views to be......

Very simply - Conte has taken directs shots at levy and called the board out so why is he still in the job in your opinion?

So who appointed him and who wont sack him? Of course its the boards fault, if a manager fails (and Conte has) then the board has failed. Same as Nuno, same as Mourinho.

Some are blinded by their love of levy. The guy who picks the manager who then fails, isn’t responsible or accountable for the manager they picked failing. Crazy stuff.
So he can pick Tony pullis who then fails so he sacks him. But the main problem is the doomed manager, not levy picking an unsuitable manager who fails. Repeat over & over!!!

That tweet is just nonsense, no offence to you . When he said the owners … the staff , that wasn’t directed solely at the players p. Gold does talk some rubbish , sometimes

No that's a bit harsh from you. I think it's a language issue and was misunderstood.

The notion this is less manager than owners is completely off the scale.

Yes owners employ the manager but we have 2 World Cup winners, 3 national captains and many players who would be taken by other Prem teams, if not the very best.

In diving and I have used this analogy before, you have the complexity or difficulty of the dive. Let's call that the quality of the squad.

You apply to it the quality of the dive so the manager's overall input) and get the result.

In real terms 4th is probably right but the ends, if we do get 4th do not justify the means, and in that regard it's on Conte.

No pundit worth their exorbitant salary would say different in that Conte has been backed.

Conte has failed.

But what about brexit ? Surely that’s a factor

Of course our managers have failed. That's not what I'm talking about.

Without the aid of Captain Hindsight, it's impossible to suggest that hiring Mourinho and/or Conte was a mistake, or lacked ambition.

There are definitely things I'd love some clarity on (but I'm not holding my breath) that may change some of my opinion on Levy:

1. The sacking (timing of) of Mourinho.
2. Apparent lack of due diligence on Paratici.
3. Explanation of the 18-months (peak stadium build) transfer drought. Was there no money or did Pochettino have unrealistic expectations for the situation?

Why’s he not been sacked yet? Prick.

I think Conte should be out the door but dear god the mentality of these players. Literally making his exact point for him

hmm

if a change is made

Amiron and De Zerbi are mid season in a good position with their club, unlikely to leave I'd say?

Poch or Luis Enrique available straight away.
