For those that just want to sack Conte and think it will solve all our problems. History repeating itself again. Makes me wonder why Poch would come back and put himself through it again.

Yeah, fucking Conte refused to use those world class defenders and goalkeepers we had on the bench.
We could have Pep in charge & it’d still be the same . Some of our starting XI are simply not good enough while others have aged
with tanganga and sessegnon we would have won the world cup.
F conte
Romero's booking was outrageous, it wasn't even a foul, he pulled out of the challenge. Total clanger from the Ref.
Pep wouldn't be daft enough to come here, he wouldn't get the players he'd need to be successful.
Sacking Conte changes nothing, we need an improvement to the squad in several positions and have done since before the CL final. Our recruitment until Para has been woeful.
Young manager, old manager, it really makes no difference.
But Conte is a far better manager than most and needs good players to make his system work - he hasn't got them mostly and anyone coming after him will face the same problems.
What Conte's system does is starve the strikers of service, exposes the weakness of our existing central defenders, the limitations of our existing wing backs and forces the two central midfield players to absorb constant pressure and chase opposition midfield players around like headless chickens in a training drill.
Conte worked in Spurs interests, with what he had available, last season, to get a top four finish. It is why many still have time for him.
Conte has been working against Spurs interests, for long spells this season, with dour football, rotating team selections, failing tactics, badly timed, late and innapropriate substitutions that have produced consistently poor results and performances.
I blame Levy for hiring this guy.
Levy was forced to turn to this mercenary due to his own shortcomings as THFC chairman.
It now seems obvious that Conte's 15 million salary, for 18 months, was always going to be taken from the incoming fees paid for Kane and Son.
Juande Ramos entered into a similar arrangement with Levy when he was employed to oversee the destruction of Martin Jol's team.
Berbatov was sold to United, Defoe to Portsmouth and Keane to Liverpool.
Conte has been employed to help create an illusion of ambition and has been compensated accordingly.
ENIC are all about reducing the wage bill and supporter expectations.
By the time they roll the dice on a new, young, cheap THFC team most will be glad to just watch football that doesn't send them to sleep.
That’s some next level mental gymnastics.
It’s obviously Conte’s fault that Sessegnon or Perisic got roasted by the opponent’s wingers.
Reading that post without a tin-hat could prove hazardous.
Cheers.
I keep trying.
There have always been patterns regarding what happens at Spurs under ENIC.
When Ramos came in Europa or Champion's League, through the league position, was already looking a bit tricky. Spurs won the League Cup which secured ENIC's minimum requirement. The league form went off a cliff though; especially the performances.
You never knew what you were going to get in terms of tactics, team selection and results.
Individual players were dug out or ignored in the same way Bissouma and Spence have been this season.
Tom Huddlestone was the main victim under the Ramos regime.
Levy loves crashing the train.

City players swarmed the ref and he bottled it
There was a lot of shit like that in the earlier stages of the game.... The guy was a complete noob,..... Doubt the ink had even dried on his license.
I think sacking Mourinho and then hiring nuno & conte is pointless move to begin with
It's like you are changing your clothes from T-shirt to another T-shirt . If We end up getting rid of players who Mourinho didn't improve or rates and then spending over 250m for their replacement then why didn't we just gave the money to Mourinho himself ?
The idea of getting rid of mourinho back then was so the new manager can work with what he has , coach the players and integrate youth , not spending even more money right ?
Levy to mourinho be like "you were right with your assessment to our current squad and what needs to be done to improve but i just don't like you so fck off"
Same can be said to some fans btw

We won the league cup and (remember Defoe had already gone in January) then sold Berba and Keane that summer which left us with Bent, Campbell and Pav up front. Disgraceful from Levy.
Remember the Inter away, Bale hatrick game when Gomes got sent off? Harry took off Modric instead of Tom Hud to bring on a keeper - silly cunt was clueless, trusted Tim and Les to assess Suarez when anyone with eyes could see he was special.
Agree on Bis, I don't on Spence.
Conte hasn't lost the dressing room, but the dressing room might have lost Conte.
