Not me. Quite a few managers i'd rather appoint. Not saying Conte isnt a top manager but as ever its about the fit and the football.

Manager Antonio Conte

I just want to see some football and selections that make some sense, see the players giving it everything and not to lose every London derby while get blasted up the shitbox by mediocre sides like Palace and Man Utd.
Attacking football is a bonus
Imagine Levy popping into Conte office at the training ground
It’s gonna be a blast though!PMSL!!!!!!!!!
This is going to be a disaster! Guy is toxic and is as anti Tottenham as it gets. Levy does it again.
Looking forward to the next few months though.
3-5-2 fits our squad though
I just want to see a side that looks like they have actually practised playing football in the build up to matches, a side that has an actual plan, is proactive about trying to win matches, and that occasionally attempts to have a shot on goal.
Doesn't need to be prime Barcelona to be a 100% improvement on Nunoball.
Levy's and Paraticis job goes hand in hand with this appointment. Listening to talksport. Are there really Spurs fans want another project?
We’ve been so shit and hopeless. We don’t get good football or good results. Let’s at least try to win
My own take on this is that maybe Uncle Joe was watching the game on Saturday on his yacht with family and friends etc and was so embarrassed by the shitshow on view and the toxicity of the crowd and thought. ‘Fuck it! Enough is enough’ and rang that bald twat and told him to get Conte in whatever the cost and even bankrolled the deal himself
It will be better than what we've seen in the last few seasons. Might not be totally free-flowing, but it will be decent and if we're winning, looking resilient and not getting embarrassed then it's all good.
He's exactly what we need right now.
Yeah i'm not against it like i was against the Mourinho appointment because Conte is at the top of his game and he fits with Paratici, also he wouldnt be coming without decent funds available. Just i'd rather some other managers who prioritise good football.
I don't like Conte, the persona, the fact he's ex-chav and I'm not a favourite of his football that he predominantly plays (a mid-block 3-5-2, sometimes that's a low-block 6-3-1).
He absolutely is a short term fix, which I'm not too fussed about as he hasn't left any of his previous clubs in the shit when he leaves them. There will be the snarky comments from him in press confs that I hope to turn a blind eye to whilst he's here (assuming that he is, still think there's a way to go on this and maybe Utd are being forced to play their hand over Ole??).
My personal preference should be clear now and that's a progressive manager in the shape of Potter, Ten Hag, Flick, Nagglesmann etc.... I enjoy how these managers build their squads and have the team play, it's uncompromising no matter who the opposition is, it's always brave and exciting and I feel overall better suited to Tottenham than these ego appointments.
HOWEVER, there can be no denying is ability as a manager, the difference between him and the Dinosaur is that tactically and strategically he's still relevant as a coach. He's always demonstrated that he can build a team (all be it with considerable funds spent) but I think his biggest quality is taking the team available to him and getting the most out of them on the pitch (plus additions). He is IMO one of the worlds top 5 managers.
Just have to endure a bit of mid-block and loads of Conte slow-mo cams of him shaking his fists to massage his ego. Will be better than we've had during the last 2-3 seasons. I would start to have concerns in January if we are signing 30yr old plodders on long contracts.
Conte is the best of the available options
Well that escalated quickly. Think we now know why they were in board meetings Saturday night and all day Sunday.
I'm not sure Conte is the right fit for where the squad is now tbh and have doubts he will be given the funds or power to actually turn the club around.
I'd love so much to be wrong, his CV is unquestionable though.
I have little doubts he will be more of a motivator than the fucking cardboard cut-out, personality vacuum, arm folding beardy grump that was Nuno.
Just all smells again like ENIC don't have a fucking clue what they actually want or what they're doing.
