T bf I have criticised him
Absolutely yes.
I think he’s been fairly honest, well mannered and all in all pretty decent with his comments.Conte isn't lovable compared to anyone, let alone Pochettino. He shows up at clubs, runs his mouth incessantly, wins things, and then generally departs in a huff about something or other.
But he's so obviously world class, just gotta hope that he wins us something and the inevitable parting is on neutral terms. We don't need to love him and he doesn't need to love us for this to work out extremely well.
I'd suggest just ignoring his press conferences. He's always been a nutter and says weird emotional shit. People keep saying it's about raising the level at Spurs and motivating Levy and it nicely fits in with the not necessarily inaccurate media and fan narrative that we're a cheap unsuccessful club who are lucky to have him.
But if you've followed his career, 80% of the things he's saying he also said at Juve, Chelsea, and Inter. He always wants more money and players, never feels like he's getting enough support, and just generally always has a burr up his ass about something.
Just ignore what he says and enjoy the football while you can, because the man is fucking incredible football mind and manager.
Jesus christ. HALLELUJAH!!!!Get the man some proper wingbacks to work with and he may win us the league.
