Manager Antonio Conte

The high water mark of the Conte era. The low point surrendering to AC Milan and utterly downing tools whilst picking up 15 million quid.
I loved it when he came here, and during that run of results where we demolished Villa and Newcastle and got a deserved point against Liverpool away we were one of the best teams in England (we even played some entertaining, direct football). The passing of Ventrone really hit him, and I don't blame him for that. However, he completely lost me with the Sanchez substitution. And the press conference afterwards was disgraceful. I couldn't care less if he threw Levy and the Club under the bus (which they deserved, but not because of not backing Conte, because they backed him as much as they could), however it's unforgivable that he went against the fans. A negative figure of the Club for sure.
How did he go against the fans??
Attacked the mentality of the club. Basically saying that we put no pressure on the club to succeed.
hmmm he was right though and by "we" are you refering to the board or the fans?
Ah shit, my identity as Daniel Levy has been compromised...
Not sure he went against the fans, he did use the fans emotions against the club to get himself out of his contract though.
my point is that he didn't ever go against the fans and made it absolutely clear of that.Ah shit, my identity as Daniel Levy has been compromised...
I feel like he really dragged the clubs name through the mud at the end, it may have been aimed at the board but the whole club and the fans felt it too. There may have been personal difficulties but I can't forgive him.
Yes there was a good spell, but then there was the terrible football, terrible man management and terrible press conferences.
And terrible hair.

And isn’t that correct?
Which one?
It wasn't personal. Conte just wanted his payout and just pushed enough buttons until he got it.
You're probably right, but what does that tell you about him? I'm sure he's not exactly short of a few quid.

This guy is funny, he forgets he literally said this:
Antonio Conte: Spurs achieving top four would be like winning the Premier League title
Antonio Conte reiterated another top-four finish would be the equivalent to a Premier League title for Spurs, while insisting he sees 'the fire' in his players' eyes...

Still doesn’t stop him being right - top 4 should not be celebrated.
Celebration police alert
Now the dust has settled, I wish no particular ill-will towards Conte. However, the feeling in the club and excitement ahead of games with Ange compared to him is like night and day. In that aspect, he can make all the excuses he wants, but has to know deep down that he failed. Will be interested to see if he can get a tune out of whatever team he goes to next, or if he really is simply the next Mourinho and part of a dying breed.
