It was basically Conte just provoking for a pay out. He does it at every club, but of course people see it as altruistic when it's this one
I still remember ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’
Flip side was Gerandula I think!
Great group!
Not sure anyone wants to ‘mull over’ news on a Friday - leaves you worrying about it all weekend when you can’t do anything about it.
Tbf - probably no good time for bad news.
"Twelve Gold Bars" is one of my favourite albums

Cowardly cunt of the highest order. Blamed everybody he possibly could except himself. Then got in a sulk and fucked off, doing his best to set fire to the club on his way out. (I know he had personal issues going on at the time, that doesn't and didn't stop him from being a coward and a cunt, possibly my most disliked manager we've had this century).With regards to Conte, I prefer the terms "Home truths" and "Calling out the board" rather than "melting"

And what on earth would make you think his ourburst "did so much more for us going forward than many people realise"? What did it achieve exactly? Do you think the powers that be listened to him and now do all the things he said? If so presumably you think the board is excellent now then? If not, then what you're saying doesn't make sense... In reality of course, his outburst, warranted or not, achieved nothing more than in his mind maintaining his reputation of having done nothing wrong and bearing no responsibility for our club's failure him. Simply not capable of taking responsibility when it all goes wrong - utter fraud of a man.
He downed tools and went back to Italy, leaving the club rudderless.With regards to Conte, I prefer the terms "Home truths" and "Calling out the board" rather than "melting"

Conte never had an interest in succeeding at Tottenham - what, we didn't buy all the players he wanted off the top of his list? After 20 years of Levy's chairmanship no manager can claim they were caught off guard by the way the club is run.
Conte wanted to exploit Tottenham to repair his finances. His rant, and subsequently going AWOL back to Italy was a calculated move to force Spurs to buyout his contract so he could fuck off back home with cash in hand.
Whether the message in the rant was 100% true, partially true, or bollocks is a matter of personal opinion, and I think it was 4/5 "mostly true". But it was 100% not at all aimed at improving the club. It was an exit strategy for the Chelsea cunt who only ever took the job to mug us off.

Obviously going to drag this out like they always do.
Just get it announced before everyone gets bored

Everyone's not bored already? 75% of the posts in Frank's thread have fuck all to do with Frank. I think everyone is clearly already bored. Might as well change the name to the "How Long Until Thomas Frank Is Sacked" thread.
Yeah, it’s clear they’ll be worse off without him. It’s always funny when fans of clubs with little to no real heritage - especially at the elite level—harbor such intense hatred for Spurs, seemingly out of nowhere. In this case, it’s probably a mix of London pride and rivalry, then find themselves back to their station mid to lower table
, which is what I think will happen at Brentford and Nottingham Forest next season.
Probably preferred Mourinho to Conte and his football was worse, he was a right moany b*st*rd, refused to play Bale with Son and Kane and dismantled a wedge of Poch’s team.He downed tools and went back to Italy, leaving the club rudderless.

That’s how much I dislike Conte for slagging off my club.
The only thing I remember enjoying was 'Conte watch'. It was like watching a chimp on crack.He downed tools and went back to Italy, leaving the club rudderless.

Did they do Ange watch? That must have been about as exciting as watching your peas simmering.

The reason I disagree with both of these views on what Conte was "really" trying to do with his rant is that I feel like it has just been comprehensively documented at this point that nothing about Conte is an act, he is just sincerely an extremely emotionally volatile person who regularly loses control of his emotions, especially when his team loses (or blows a 3-1 lead, I guess).He downed tools and went back to Italy, leaving the club rudderless.

Every word Conte said was the truth, but it was no calculated swipe at Daniel Levy's business strategy, it was just a temper tantrum of a great football coach who was fed up with a job he never really understood and shouldn't have accepted.
That was always the main argument against Messi.
Soldado looked lethal there before we bought him
Yeah like we didn’t have people saying Leicester were on PED’s when they won the league, without any proof . Equally plenty saying whoever won the league whether Woolwich or Liverpool this year it was because City had an off year . As for the Oil state club victories pretty easy to dismiss them if you choose to ( probably more valid) . Just look how many people on here claim that a game is rigged every time there is a decision that is either wrong or they just don’t like .
I could rattle off plenty more instances where elite sport at the highest level is questioned and not just in football .
You are right though I am happy maybe you should try it
Utter fraud
The man just won serie a with Scott mctominay and lakaku ffs. He’s a born winner.
No one ever passed to Soldado (like Janssen). I remember watching games and Bobbie would make a run and then just be left hanging around because no-one saw it / wanted to pass it. And by the time they did, his confidence was shot and it was all over.
Odd.
Yeah they were good live. I saw them at the Southend Kursaal when I was about 17 and in Dubai when I was about 45.
And I’d rather watch them again today than Beyoncé or Taylor Swift.
And Spurs most of the time TBH.
