We only get as much shit as we do because we dared to upset the apple cart. If it was one of those teams in our place doing it instead of us they’d get as much shit as we do.

Conte is a proven winner in serious leagues, but his personality is quite volatile so for an owner a PR nightmare.
What he said at the club in his rant was 100% correct, but it's the timing of it in front of the world's media.
He was calling out the clubs lack of desire to win.
Ange is an owners dream, great with the press, and seems happy with club buys if they fit.
Rather than clever and calculating another way of viewing it is that he has taken advantage of opportunities given to him and created more with successful teams that entertained people
What I find odd though is the idea of "the club's lack of desire to win"
I can see there were some long in the tooth, too comfortable players (Eric!) ... that is part of it I get.
But if Conte was backed by £ (which he was), who else is there that doesn't have the right desire to win? Surely most pros (other than the old guard as mentioned above), are hungry for success? Surely the players and coaching staff Conte brought in were hungry for success? Surely Conte was? Perhaps the Eric mentality was very pervasive??
That's called being a modern day manager - every manager by some extent has to fit with their clubs M.O, only managers like Klopp or Pep get that sort of autonomy and that's because they've earned the trust of the club after they've been there for a few years - that's how football clubs are run, managers need to be flexible and understanding of what type of job they are hired to do and what type of owners they are working with.
Dress it up however you want. You say potato and I potarter.
He’s reached the premier league throw his own hard work and decision making.
He could still be at some random team in Japan or Scotland if he was “loyal” in a sport which does not reward that many managers with loyalty.
What in Good Christ's name is a potarter?
I fucking hate some of those cunts
You think players that are fit and well go on the pitch and worry about hamstrings?? You mad??
Their just trolls mate
Some on here are fucking clueless. Why after every defeat does everything have to be questioned?
Sometimes you can’t win. We were shit on Saturday but it’s done with.
Just to let some of you know,we won’t play great every week and win easily with the manager making every decision correct. At this stage of Ange’s tenure we are well in front of where we thought we’d be. If we are sitting 5th next year then it’s a wee bit different but for fuck sake let the guy build something. Patience is needed.

I know but they do my tits in and I don’t have tits
Yes your right, it is modern day management, however will, any Tottenham manager get long enough to be trusted.
I fear it will all go the same way, Levy will pull the trigger if, things go South because he starts to get it from sections of the crowd.
Look if he gets the club top three, then that is a huge achievement from expectation levels.

Must be an American potato.
Much like a TOMAYTO..
I think we should call the whole thing off...
If he keeps an upward trajectory of growth and improvement then Ange has every right to expect to see his backing and clout grow in line with that curve (until we hit an FFP ceiling)..... If such a trajectory is not achieved, and he leaves cos he's not "satisfied" anyway then fine; he won't have been the guy we need nor the guy he's purported to be.
The same goes for any manager.
It's nothing he hasn't already said a multitude of times before.
