Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He won a terrible Serie A where Juventus had fell of a cliff and Milan were yet to establish themselves.

Some of the mental gymnastics you lot put yourselves through to defend this 3 at the back merchant. He’s a poundshop Mourinho.

We need to stop hiring these negative managers who think they’re bigger than the club and get in a young, progressive manager who wants to play attacking football.

I’ve said this since Conte was hired and you all laughed at me. It was always, always, ALWAYS going to end in tears. And it’s only going to get worse.
100%.
 
Why would he commit when club have a consistent track record of failing to back a manager once he's signed on the dotted line.

His points are absolutely valid. If Pep said that the spurs squad is weak, and has no chance in hell of competing for a trophy, he'd be right. And he doesn't even have a stake in the club.
But we have spent money and bought players however he has refused to use half of them! I don’t get how royal has played so much but Soence no minutes. Whose to say Soence could have our rwb solution but we will never know just bcos of his pettiness. Now everyone is screaming we spend £40m on another rwb. I’m not saying Soence is the answer but how will we ever know. Fir me I’d rather spend the money on a quality CB or any creative player. We can make do with rwb fir this season. Buy rwb is still gonna sort out the CB situation anyway plus the way we play we would never get the ball to rwb.
I’m suprised everyone is up in arms about not getting this guy as if everything else will be sorted. Immediate problems for me is CB and creative player.

You're literally engaging in mental gymnastics yourself to try and discredit Conte's past achievements.

It's fine that you don't like Conte, but this rewriting of history to suit your agenda is just nonsense.

I hope we win against Fulham just so you disappear again and we dont have to be subjected to your self-congratulatory wankathon for the 5 millionth time
 
We just need to get Conte 4 new CBs and 10 new WBs and he can do his magic...




Also,

That's not mental gymnastics, that's context. There's a difference...and some said it at the time of his hiring. Why? Because it's clear for all to see with no mental gymnastics necessary. Same contextualizing that went on with Mou. Just because someone wins doesn't mean their efforts are the principle reason for the success.
 
Ndombele, 11 mill pounds a year, potentially for 5 years....... Let that sink in :tanguythumb:
Yeah but let’s not forget, now I’m not defending Levy or the board or who’s idea it was to sign him but what can the club do if they end up with a complete tosser thats got no respect in himself nor his employers the guy can play we know that unfortunately we’ve landed ourselves with a complete cunt, if we’d missed out on signing him and he’d turned out the opposite we’d/Levy would be getting dogs for that as well damned if you do, damned if you don’t…..
 
It is evident that we need a total reset. Conte will leave. Kane will leave. Half of our squad is not good enough or past it. The lowest common denominator here is Levy. He needs to go.

We need to build around Romero, Bentancur, Kulusevski and Richarlison. And that is not much to build on.
 
Levy is 100% to blame. He has the power to sack or back Conte. Right now he is doing neither and letting the problem fester.
I think we should back, sack AND crack Conte.

If it’s really at this point they should let him go asap, pointless to waste the season.

I’d go get Poch now and give him the rest of the season to try and implement something, it takes at least half a season, if not longer, to truly learn a new system at the top level so may as well start sooner rather than later. Sadly that requires the skill of being proactive which no one at the club seems to have.
 
That would partly explain why we probably haven't signed anyone.

Seems pointless letting him stay in a job he has no future in though. Especially when top four is still within reach.
