Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not sure what the fuss is about.

Don't have a problem with anything he said, and can't wait for him to kick out all the weak-minded shit-heels who have no manly stomach, or self-respect to go out there and fight like a lion for the club - Every. Single. Game.

This is going to sound terrible but I honestly just want someone that can speak English well enough to be able to explain what they mean and why they are doing what they are doing.

Perhaps it's by design but Mourinho was our only recent manager that spoke English at a relatively high-level.

Pochettino and Conte both speak English at an elementary-level and it's natural that a lack of clarity + confusion can cause negative feelings.

We were in two title races and a cl final under poch. As long as he has an able deputy it should be fine.

Poch had Jesus Perez, hopefully cpnte has someone too.

Get Conte a proper squad and we will make most teams look like Leeds and Everton.
 
"We've got 12 games to play and I have to be the first to take responsibility. I don't like to speak of the Champions League as my ambition as I play to win trophies, but for me, it is our Premier League title if we reach the fourth place.”

Dunno what I make of that. Slap in the face?

Nah; I'm cool with it......

What I don't want is him sulking cos he's not in a title race in his first 5 months here. Top 4 IS his target right now and he should be shooting at it with absolute conviction.

cant fault him today. brought son off too and gave berg a chance which i think is fair and son needs a rest, hes looked leggy for a while and hes not sharp enough. big teams drop players when they need a rest no matter who they are.

united game is fucking huge. a win there and top 4 is right on!
 
Ha ha the virgins on here hanging on every word looking for hidden meaning. As for critiquing his English skills? That’s the weakest of arguments.

If you let him do his job and get him what he wants he will turn this ship around.

Of course he will get neither time nor players so….

Our fans suddenly seem to have a weird obsessive irrational dislike towards him because he has spoken some uncomfortable truths that many of them don't want to hear about the transfer policy and lack of success at the club over the last 20 years.

They consider it moaning when actually, I think it's part of the process to create change.

Conte, unlike managers before him at our club, doesn't want to just accept mediocrity, he wants to change the clubs mentality, all the way from the top to the bottom, he is playing mind games but in a way that will induce change for the better imo.

Some people don't like that he isn't a yes man, makes them uncomfortable apparently.

Honestly it makes me wonder sometimes about our fanbase, hearing people say they would take Potter over Conte or have Poch back when Conte hasn't even had a full season or a full transfer window?

Just makes me think that some of our supporters are actually afraid of success.
