Tbh, if we get some modicum of silver-ware success I'd want Conte to be the one to stay and attempt to build a legacy....... For us to be too pre-occupied on the next guy is a seriously worrying prospect.

Agreed. Poch has already made it clear that he wants to come back some day. I don't think that we need to appoint Antonio to entice him to do that.
Let's just focus on becoming as good as we possibly can be under Antonio. And whatever happens after he leaves we will deal with in due time.
I don't think that's the case at all, it's merely future proofing and having a plan, actually a good thing tbh
As you frame it; yes, a good thing.... As the tweet frames it; less encouraging IMO.
IMO the 'plan' ought to be for Conte to be around for as long as possible seeing as he's the most proven manager we're likely to get (and if he wants to stick around that will signify things had been going well mutually)..... Not for him to be merely a repair man.
It's actually smart if you break it down.
Conte rarely stays with one club very long. He has no emotional connection to Spurs, so the chances he's he more than 2-3 years is very unlikely
Poch's status is only growing. It's silly to think that after he leaves PSG, he'll come back to Spurs if the club is still a mess. Clubs like United and Real will certainly have a look at him.
Last time Poch came to Spurs, he was leading a new reclamation project. I'm sure he'll want to win trophies immediately.
So we better hope it's true. Because it's actually good realistic planning by the club.
for me he has to win stuff with psg first, best team they had in decades, think they will walk league myself, champions league maybe
Is it?
TBH, unless he wins the CL I don't expect the needle to have shifted much.
There's a strong argument for the idea that what he did here is far more impressive than winning Ligue Un with PSG.
Yeah I have been thinking the same thing. Ferguson has been tapping him up for years.
Yeah, maybe if they had actually backed Pochettino better they could have cut out the middlemen...
I didn't read it like that
We all knew financial backing would be limited during the stadium rebuild project.... So did Poch when he signed his new deal. Then as soon as the new gaff opened we let him blow £130-140m. Any criticism on this front should revolve around whether or not we should have given him more time when he was struggling, rather than sacking him when we did. That said, even he seemed to intimate that he was spent and needed to re-fresh himself.
Neither did I outright, but these would be my concerns given the tweet...... If your take is the accurate one, they certainly chose a ham-fisted way of expressing it.

I think his biggest gripe was, and still probably is, who we didn't ge rid of.
Maybe... Maybe not....... We'd only be guessing in terms of whom that may be though.
I don't suspect he had issues with those commonly vilified round here though... Dele, Winks etc.
Who else read this in conte's voice and accent?
Contrast that with how we let Aurier go last summer...if Levy had his way there's no way he'd have left.
