Manager Antonio Conte

Think the January window would be more of a tempter for him than another £20k a week. To his credit (unlike some) it seems more about on pitch ambition than anything.

Well, I was hoping he might of signed that new contract by now. The longer it drifts into the season without that extension then I will be sceptical he will sign a new one in the summer. When was the last time a manager let his contract run down to the last day before committing to a new one?

Guardiola's was due to end at the end of this season and he has signed up during the World Cup. I really thought Conte would do similar, which leaves me wondering why he hasn't.

I think a fairly mediocre summer window , patchy performances, plus a clearly quite unhappy home crowd have made him think twice. Despite the league position and champions league we seem to have lost that momentum he built up last season which Woolwich and Newcastle have taken on. I think it comes down to January, spend big on 2 or 3 and he'll likely stay another season. Don't and he'll be off. The board need to make contingency plans. If he hasnt signed by March then they need someone lined up we cant have another farce like 2 years ago.

If I was a betting man then this is exactly what I think will happen in the summer.

Bielsa....... Another slightly nutty manager, like Conte.


.....The speculation at fan-level is of course understandable though.
 
If we don’t spend wisely in January we may still get too four but conte won’t resign ( sign again as opposed to quitting/ are they the same word?) anyways
We are still a top attraction to any manager and levy knows it…. He has probably got poch as a back up and most spurs fans will be okay with with coming back…

"resign" vs "re-sign". 👍
 
If he leaves, it'll only be 'cos Spurs fans don't have a musical bone in their bodies, and have been singing the "Antonio" chant wrong since he got here!!

It's the same chant as "Everywhere we go...."
and yet for some reason, we get the note wrong when it's Antonio....

is it deliberate, or did I miss a rehearsal??

It's SO infuriating.... (Especially as I DO have a musical bone in my body!)

Tell me I'm not the only one?!

I'd be amazed if Levy hasn't already decided to bring back Poch and cash in on Kane (and maybe Son).
