Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You’re right. But he has to back him at the right time and with the right players. Not some shadows of the players he wants because they “fit the profile” and are cheap.
You don’t appoint a behemoth of a manager, in his prime, & give him shit “alternatives” to work with

Give the man his dues, Levy has actually got this one right. He needs to stay on track now and back this crazy genius because if he does, I’m convinced we will see trophies coming our way.

I’m still a little amazed that it’s actually happened. And the mood on the forum is a joy to be part of right now.
COYS.

Let's be honest Levy does not deserve credit for this. This is down to Paratici.

Nuno was also Paratici's man from what I read but I'm starting to think that Paratici put Nuno in to force the Conte move knowing Nuno would fail.

Point 1: Don't give a fuck. I'm genuinely happy for the first time in a dogs age.
Point 2: Based on the above I'm not going to be annoyed by poor grammar, spelling or punctuation until the Vitesse game.

Knock you're sleeves out....

Actually John, i have criticised Levy and you know that and i didnt want Nuno, but supported him until it became obvious it was over.

But you know John, there are more important things in life than arguing with a snivelling snide like you. My wife had a radical hysterectomy last week, unfortunately she contracted pneumonia, got a blood clot on her lung and for the third time in 12 months got sepsis..... she's been at deaths door and I've had to, as well as work, run a house with 3 kids, dogs, cats and also in my spare time take care of her father who is COPD pathway..... and since I had covid end of August, I've had pneumonia and last week I had the flu. My wife's had 3 years of shit, cancer, chemo, endometriosis, as well as dealing with lupus.

But do you know what John, she's kept going and kept smiling I've kept going, kept a smile on my face, kept loving the things I love in life, kept supporting the team I love through thick and thin and when something like this happened today I've fucking celebrated and I'll admit had a few beers at the pub.... what do you celebrate aside from the odd agree you get to your snidey shit you post.

Spurs has been one of the things that's kept me going ..... through all this shit. I'm still a positive, pro active, driven person John, always will be, I love life, love my family, love Spurs....

I wish you could have what I have John, I'm the lucky one...... I'm glad I'm not a miserable fucker like you. Most people get to a point in life where they realise for them to be happy in themselves they need to delete negative cunts like you from there lives ..... so John, please do me a favour and fuck off you miserable snidey Gooner cunt.

Levy doesn't deserve credit yet he's the one who hired a dof in Paratici who in turn was responsible for the hiring of Conte, make it make sense :confused:

Why would Paratici deliberately start his time at the club with an almighty fuck up? He though Nuno would be the manager he was when he coached in Spain but got it wrong.
He has got this one right, & Levy still had to sign it off.

Hard times right there. Sorry to hear it’s been so tough. That’s an almighty burden. And I don’t mean supporting Spurs through thick and thin.
Puts a lot of things into perspective when you read about some of the shitty things people have to live with.
Have another beer. You’ve earned it.

exactly and with conte here we can all band together through this good time we are going to have
 
Told two of my friends who support United that we were the real winners last game because we would get a new manager, they wouldnt...but I did not expect it to be fucking Conte! Fucking hell I am excited! Will see us do great stuff, or Conte tearing our comfortable fucking players a new one...I prefer the doing great stuff part, but not by much!

Sure. Put someone in place to sit as a buffer between me and my customers.

"I Daniel, will continue to make decisions that I believe offer additional wealth to you the shareholders because that after all is my job. I have delegated the trivial footballing matters to Mr Paratici who I assure you is most excellent at said endeavour. "

I wish I had the THFC Marketing department to help me but I think I'm close.

I'm not anti Levy at all but the idea that all the good decisions reflect upward like Paratici is a priest and all outcomes are a divine reflection is bullshit.

He got it wrong I guess but would Gattuso/Fonseca have been any better?

Clearly Conte and Poch were the top two targets and Paratici would have loved to get either in. For whatever reason it didn't happen so they had to pivot onto other shitter targets.

The good thing is they reacted quickly and pulled the trigger and got our number one target (4 months late).

I'm happy with what Paratici has done so far:

In:
- CONTE ffs
- Romero: will be our defensive rock for years
- Emerson: ependable option in what was our weakest area
- Gil/Sarr: bright talents
- Gollini: meh... better than Hart at least

Out:
- Aurier FINALLY
- Sissoko FINALLY
- other bits of dross

Pretty sure he will oversee some shrewd deals in Jan. For a complete midfield overhaul I wouldn't be surprised to see Brozovic arrive and Kessie on pre contract for summer. The rumblings about Vlahovic are positive too.

He's been here 4/5 months and that's already a huge impact. By the end of next summer's transfer window I think we will be a different beast.

2022/23 title charge incoming.

Right :confused:
 
Can only assume Calvert Lewin is still injured for Everton? Could be Conte’s first game as I don’t think he will take charge of the European game, and we need all the help we can get in beating a very wounded Everton
 
RomanzoCriminale RomanzoCriminale - hang in there my fellow Spurs fan. Your attitude is incredible. A toast of a nice beer (Yeungling Hershey Porter tonight) in your honor tonight, hope for Conte’s success with our Spurs, and prayers of strength/comfort for your wife. I lost my first wife to cancer in 2005. Know you guys are not alone. Even some random dude in the US is in your corner!

And COYS!!
