There was a reason for them to all be cutprice as well. They were mostly shit. You pay monkeys, you get monkey business.

Manager Antonio Conte

My assessment is that
Levy, having sacked 3 Managers in 2 years has little room to justify sacking Conte and would not attract anyone better. He has in the past spent money when things are not going well rather than when things are going well. He needs Conte to succeed
Conte There are not many richer or higher profile clubs he can go to and he found that he has been out of work for a few months and MU were not interested. I think he will stay at least to the end of the season and then decide if he is getting anywhere and/or there is a suitable position elsewhere
Players Collectively they have been responsible for getting rid of the last 3 permanent Managers and must surely realise they will not get Conte out. They will either have to toe the line or go.
Transfers We do not need any more young up and coming players for the future in January. We need 1/2 players that can go straight in the team. We need to improve the attacking element and/or midfield creator. Not having an alternative to Kane is senseless and no Bergwijn is not the answer. We cannot make the mistake again of trying to integrate too many changes like when we sold Bale. More changes in the summer. We will have to manage with the current defence as scoring goals is too much of a problem.
Expectations Well Mourinho did have us top only just over 12 months ago before it went wrong. Watching recent matches is demoralising as I have no confidence in them. It will take a few weeks more for Conte to get them to the fitness levels he wants and doing what he wants. Then we will know more.
However I have no great expectations for the season and as long as the team is playing considerably better and we get back in Europe, it will be acceptable with greater expectations next season.

Wherever he went he then left something better than what he found. Tottenham also has great players (Son, Kane): if he convinces Kane in particular about his project, in my opinion we will see fireworksI hope that translates into field/pitch results

We need to back this man, you can see the organisation and the fitness of the players is already improving. But too many of our players just don't have the technical skill required for us to be a dominant team.
Keep the hard-working but limited players we have as squad players, and buy Conte some real quality that he can put in the First XI.

100%. Just watch Son in the build up to his goal - he flicks the ball off (to Kane?) and is straight on the move, he knows the play before it has even happened! End result = right place, right time = goal
Big improvement since he came in, Burnley being called off might have been great for us as I read he made the team train again
Switched to a 532 was nice to see & the fitness levels are clearly miles above what they once were

All the players looking fit. Ben Davies is on fire under Conte.
My comment was pun intended as a reply to his sentence: "I thought that such an organized reality deserved online sports results. " There must have been a translation error there.
What do "online" results mean...? One may argue that if the results Spurs get are conveyed around the world "online" .... but to me, it sounds like "online" stuff like online games or even betting online....
Sonny also said something about him teaching them about positioning on the pitch and it being something players forget or don't think about. Seemed surprising, but then again, maybe not?
Like Ben as a CB, always tought he would do well there, but as a LB he's hopeless.
He always looks comfortable playing LCB for Wales, it’s defo his best position
Cracking up at the “good news” that Conte doesn’t want any players in January
