Conte is the successful one, Levy is the cunt who gives his managers Nelson and Saha at a crucial point, or doesn't sign anyone for 18 months to destroy all progress. I'd go with Conte's demands over Levy and the greedy art collector.

When you are as poorly run as us and a top manager with success at multiple stops wants to bring in his guys you need to listen and think about the fact that he has had success and we have not.
Plus where are any reports that he wanted to sack half the club staff? It seems like he wanted to bring in 7 of his people which is not a lot at all.
Again where are the reports that he wanted to have a huge budget?
Why are people inventing possibilities that not only aren't supported but also go against what is reported? What has Levy done to earn the benefit of the doubt to say he is the reasonable one in this case? What has Conte done to say that he is the one in the wrong?
Levy would be absolutely justified in focusing on finding a setup that would follow the club’s project, if the club’s project weren’t farcical, cynical dogshitI have no idea how people can defend Levy almost as if he has this brilliant staff in place that has brought us some amazing success.
If you love this club you wanted Conte and his staff in over Levys shit coaches and yes men. Period.
The most mind boggling thing with Conte is, most followers of football know he is demanding, he has an expectation for his service, which of late is probably up there with the best in the business. I foolishly thought Levy going after him MUST mean there is a sign of intent but no.I'd like to see the list of players Conte was asking for.
Hopefully it will leaked to a hack.
Then we'll have a better idea of Loco Conte's masterplan for winning the PL with the famous Spurs....
I don't know if even Conte would have changed is mind, but whether the club will sell him is a different question.I think the Conte debacle will be the final nail in the coffin for Harry as evidence of the lack of a plan and lack of vision for success and trophies
I doubt we’ll ever see it - Conte clearly trying to blame Levy (and vice versa) - he wants to look like he sacked it off, and not the other way around.I'd like to see the list of players Conte was asking for.

What did poch do that Sherwood didn't? Made em look half decent for a start didn't he but without the support of levy at key moments with a big signing. At one point we had the youngest team in the prem. Levy was never going to hire Conte.I would have to point out that the sale of youth to date is poor overall, because our academy is really not very good overall. The facilities are very good but it seems that Shity, Chelsea, United etc have the lions share of talent and we have the odd one or two that are ok to good level.
& What did Poch do with youth that Sherwood did not already do ? Reads like I am knocking Poch, but his addition of Winks to the ranks is again only an “ok” move.
I’m pointing out the obvious but if Levy is thinking we have a class of 92 in our ranks he is ever more ridiculous and that is no solution to buying the 3/4 first team squad players we need now.
I’d also love it if there was a complete 180 degree u-turn and we met all of his demands. Unfortunately I think we are both gonna be disappointedI'd fucking LOVE IT if Conte opened up about everything that was said and hung that fucking prick Levy out to dry.

If I had a pound for every time I'd heard that...It actually feels like the pressure on Levy could be about to hit a level he's never experienced before.
He's made many bad decisions over the years, but this feels like not only the worst, but...

Yeah... it's not great at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if those exact words in that exact order have been written several times already this year alone!!He's ballsed up a lot, but this feels genuinely different.
