Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Am I the only one who finds it absolutely incredible that our chairman and manager seem to be stuck in a civil war over signing a contract? Is this a professional football club or a fucking circus? This should have been resolved after the Villa game, either with Conte being dismissed or a new contract and doubling down on backing him. Only Daniel fucking clown Levy could get us caught in this shit
As Darnswim 🇦🇱 Darnswim 🇦🇱 pointed out, I suspect the problem is that Levy knows if Conte goes, he is in a world
of shit. Kane will be next out the door. So he’s likely
desperate for him to sign, despite how shit we are.
 
Most manager Arteta, Pep, Klopp have no plan B. That is the point, they have plan A and you buy them the players for plan A to work. We don’t have the players for Conte plan A so it’s fucked.
Those mangers aren’t stubborn in always sticking with one formation and never changing from it though, they will adapt, Pep especially.

Conte is a great manager, but he’s not the right one for us. He needs mega money each window, and we’re not about that, hence why he left Inter.
 
After watching that I am firmly in the Conte out camp. I say that because I don't believe he is the right fit for the players in the squad. Also the same players are not grasping his approach to the game. There is confusion in a lot of different areas. If I'm looking objectively many seem to be regressing instead of improving with more Conte time.

All the reservations voiced about Conti being a bad fit for us have come to pass unfortunetly .At this point its hard to see him with us next season and thats a real problem about buying any players this window .We have got a very poor return for a manager on a huge wage all the same .However the biggest culprits for the way things are going are enic it will be the same old mess as long as they remain as owners .

Adding to your great post, I’m bored shitless watching most weeks.
I took my 2 boys to watch the Portsmouth match recently and after 60mins they said to me that they were bored and wanted to go home, I didn’t disagree.
I’ve been a religious watcher of spurs for 35 years and for the most we have been pretty average but I’ve always stuck by us because we we’re entertaining and win lose or draw we went for it and tried to win but the last few years of Jose,NES and now conte I just want my Tottenham back now
 
Should Brighton, Brentford and Fulham be playing better football than us? Eddie Howe has done better, spending similar amounts. ENIC is the bigger issue but whatever happens Conte isnt the answer. Who goes behind in 11 out of 13 games? Concede 2 league goals or more in 7 out of 8 league games?
The Conte cult will have nothing of those facts.

"He's a proven winner"

"He's got past form"

"he's an elite manager"

Well so far, apart from the initial good feeling bounce, he's failed big time to get us playing as a more cohesive unit.

The football has been some of the worst you can get this season.

We've fucked up every game of any kind of importance.

If we continue with Conte, 6th is the best we can get and no cups.
 
I love Spence, and I think his treatment has been a disgrace, but if our fans think that Spence would make us 10x better as a team, then we deserve 10x shit than what we're getting at the moment.

I don't mean Spence will make us better, I mean him playing will be seen as a positive by fans helping to deflect the heat once more off levy that the nasty boring Italian man has gone .
No new manager will solve our problems, it will be same shite

Couldn’t agree more. That’s why I’d take Poch back, at least he’d have a long term plan involving young players and the football wouldn’t be this prehistoric dreck.
 
Writing on the wall I think. Levy won't give him the money he needs and he refuses to change his approach. Awful stuff
They need a conversation quickly along the lines of

If you are committed to staying, you've got to sign an extension and then the board have authorised £???? amount of spending in January with a further £??? In the summer.

If you're not committed to staying you need to decide now and we need to start planning the post Syrup head era.


All the while we're in limbo, we'll be treading water or going backwards.
 
To be fair, if Poch is willing to take us on until the rest of the season without committing to anything, I'd like to see what he could actually do with this group of players.

There's no way in hell we're this fucking shit.
