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.
