Let's save some time and just agree that they aren't.
It's possible Paritici has had a word with both sides and tried to mediate between the 2.
Even with Conte on board him and Levy is going to be like the War of the Roses.
Are we near the part where they blame wanting to back the new manager with transfer funds for selling our best player yet?
He might risk a white knuckle ride on Ahab’s bus!!
Hercules?
He just has to agree to work with what we've got and not expect such fanciful things as a substantial net spend or his own staff or things like that.
You know, little things.
My sources at spurs have revealed that Joe Lewis has finally opened his chequebook. Paperwork is underway and we will soon see the signing of his latest art installation titled:
"Losing without scrutiny is an art"
Undisclosed fee.
"Losing without scrutiny is an art"
Undisclosed fee.
I'm sure they'll spend a few days trying to put together some proposal for Conte, I think we'd have a decent chance if City, Chelsea and Liverpool weren't shaping up to be very strong for the next few years. Some hope, but I fear we'll waste another few days trying to convince him of a half-baked spending plan dependant on sales that mightn't happen.
Yeah taking the job !
Thought you were talking about a by-election then realised...
Yeah we could save the Mason salary !
It's always penny pinching with Levy. Like Poch said, aiming high is about being brave and spending money, filling our "amazing house" with furniture to match.
Levy is still trying to operate the way he did 10 years go as if we are still a minnow team stuck in a tiny stadium. We played in the CL for 4 straight seasons and reached a final. We have the fanciest stadium and training facilities in the world. We have two of the best forwards in the world and one of the best goalkeepers. We play in the most-watched league, we are the 8th richest team in the world. What is the point in all that if we are not going to bring our coaching and playing staff up to the same standard?
We could have fucked off the stadium, stayed at WHL and spent all that money on top players and maybe we'd have won some trophies in the last 5 years. I'd rather that than play Europa Conference in a half-full mega-stadium with no Kane and Roberto Martinez in the dugout, no trophies to show for all that hassle.
Levy would have to swallow his pride to make this happen, he will never do it. He briefed all the media making a big noise that we walked away from talks because Conte's demands were unreasonable (but reasonable for any top club). He's not going to go back and grovel. He'll just find someone cheaper.
Bingo.
Previously when he could save money by furloughing the staff he was all over it. Now when Conte wants to bring new people in he can't possibly shake up our structure and not be loyal to our people (which is rich considering he just back stabbed Hitchen).
It's always about saving money.
