Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Or maybe;

When Levy's hand was forced to turn to Conte, when the early collapse under Nuno led to 'ENIC out chants', both Levy and Conte agreed to a deal where Conte keeps the seat warm for Pochettino or similar.

Levy only reacts when the collapse of season ticket / match ticket sales becomes a distinct possibility.

If Levy could have got away with Nuno he would have stuck with him.

Neither Jose or Conte were managers that fit with ENIC's stewardship of THFC.

Appointing both was to create the illusion of ambition without actually demonstrating serious ambition.

It's looking more and more likely to me that Richarlison is actually Harry Kane's replacement.

Richalison's transfer fee and Conte's 15 million a year wages will be recovered by any incoming fees for Son and Kane.

All roads appear to be leading to the departure of Conte, Kane and Son.

Season ticket holders have been Levy'd.

This doesn’t even make me mad because it shows there is atleast some strategy. Getting the replacement before you off load older expensive players is a good strategy. If we go this route, we are putting in a proper rebuild and hopefully hiring a rebuild manager. But I think you’re giving too much credit, I don’t think we have quite such a plan.

The plan under ENIC is always the same.

Keep the overall wage bill low and secure at least Europa League football.

That has been the constant plan for 22 years.
 
For those who want Poch to come back (I was keen until I thought of this) are you willing to see a midfield of Ndombele winks Lo Celso next season because he wanted all three players at the club???
I have wondered if N'dombele could come back.

I reckon he could play in front of Bissouma, Bentancur and Hojbjerg, at the top of a diamond 4, behind Son and Kane / Kulu and Kane.

If we got a new goalkeeper, a LCB partner for Romero, Porro and Udogie as a back 4 then Spurs would have a starting 11 again and could go back to actually trying to beat the opposition instead of waiting for them to die of boredom.......
 
Might be ok if he was good at trading, but in my view he is useless at that as well . Successful traders know how to cut their losses .

Well he is good at it, compare the money making of Tottenham from sugar to now.
That's all enic are after, property, concerts, events, a football club generating money through ticket sales and TV is jist part of it. Really they only care about champions league money as it helps everything else.
Winning stuff though, not a priority, especially since that will require significant investment.

ENIC OUT!

I don’t know. He is so lazy. Maybe if he did have three midfielders behind him so he wouldn’t really have to do any work besides trying his little turns and tricks then maybe. I still wouldn’t trust him though.
 
Conte goes, Kane goes, Son’s a mess, GK is a mess, back 4 is a mess.
How long before our other players start demanding to leave or going on a free?
We’re setting ourselves up to be fighting for any UEFA qualification next year.


Ffs is this team ever hard to cheer for.
 
Why aren't we winning the League? The Scum is certainly trying and they were in a much deeper mess than we are in the last 7 years. It's just that their board had a plan all along and stuck with it, through thick and thin, while we get some of the best managers but don't back their philosophy at all.
It's like getting the best architect to build a castle, and then giving him just sticks and stones to do it.
I’m sorry I don’t mean to be a dick but I can’t help myself. Weren’t castles built out of sticks and stones? 😂. Sorry dude.

Fuck no. Him coming back would be terrible.

Once winks does not come back I’m not bothered.Nobody want’s locelso so he is probably coming back. At least ndombelly is getting minutes in Italy
 
Went into this season with so much hope and belief. This is a mess of epic proportions.

We’ve got a manager who is going at the end of the season, basically sticking around for his money. A world class striker who’s practically doing is a favour by sticking around until May. An owner who probably doesn’t know where Tottenham is, a chairman who wouldn’t know strategy if it shagged his wife, and a DoF who is effectively banned from his job.


If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.
 
Like redknapp, poch came along at the right time with the right squad. It's not the right time for him now
You have any further argument to support this take or is it just the force of your opinion that makes it so? Like, do you know why the circumstances were right for their leadership versus why the circumstances are wrong now?
