Manager Antonio Conte

Haha like Tuchel is coming here. His last two clubs were PSG & Chelsea.
It’ll be someone worse than Nuno. But hey at least Conte will be out.
It’s going to be Poch…
This screams of Levy being desperate to win anything with Kane.
He will be hard pressed to sell Kane in the summer if we cannot win anything (FA Cup I guess). Because he is even more desperate to avoid Kane going on a free to Chelsea or god forbid, Woolwich.
This desperation explains our shotgun approach to everything since after the CL final. It has all been to try and capitalize on Kane's peak years.
I can't reasonably see Levy change his approach until Kane is actually gone.
It may be for the best for both parties if Kane is sold to United this summer. He can go chase titles and not be involved in another gamble. And we can fully commit to a rebuild and a new identity.
And maybe he comes back to wind down when we may be ready to fully gun for a title again.
Well, that happened quicker than I expected earlier today. He’ll be gone soon. Levy is so bad at his job.
I was more thinking the guys who have let the previous 5 managers down.
I hope you’re right, it’s the only thing that makes sense of his approach and gives me hope that Levy isn’t insane.
And I agree if it’s true then Kane needs to go this summer so we can finally start our rebuild. Then we just need to hope he appoints the right manager (not Poch)
This I agree with and it catches up with you eventually.
But for me it's more on Conte who really is not making as good a job of the resources at his disposal as I think right'minded fans should expect.
On days like today it feels difficult to tell whether these articles are entirely organic (because let's be honest, we've not been great on the pitch) or whether there's some cheeky club briefing of journos behind the scenes.
I'd never rule out Levy and co. doing the latter to get fans warmed up to an imminent managerial sacking.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
There isn’t much appealing about this club right now.
Poch needs to be smart about his next job. A return to Spurs under these awful conditions seems like career suicide
You’ll get something along the lines of ‘’sources close to Tottenham say the players think the training is too hard/easy/boring’’. We had things along these lines with Poch and Jose. Prep the ground for the sacking.
Why wait until we're knocked out of another cup and have dropped more winnable points?
Conversely.......Is whatever is wrong gonna be fixed by Conte winning those games? .....Of course not.
The only thing that is gonna salvage Conte's reign is both him committing to the club and then us doing some solid business in the last couple of the weeks in the window..... If not; it's game over at some point before the season's over anyway.
Fuck, you're right. Even Ally Gold was saying that's the usual pathway for the narrative to go down.
Bit of both. The journalists aren't dumb.
Already had one of those articles earlier today about how they don't enjoy Conte's tactics.
Spurs players 'aren't enjoying' Conte's tactics - Murphy
Match of the Day 2 pundit Danny Murphy says he "doesn't think Tottenham Hotspur players are enjoying" the way the team is tactically set up following their 2-0 defeat by Woolwich.

Pinch of salt, but all this crap really should have been thrashed out during the WorldCup.
Maybe I'm just seeing patterns where there are none. But it is the only logical reason I can see for all of our wheeling and dealing. It's all to give Kane something with Spurs. Bale and Ledley have the league cup at least.
It reminds me of NBA GMs trying to desperately put a team together around their star that can give them a shot at at least making the play offs so that said star doesn't leave in free agency.
Great post.
A managerial change will not get Levy and ENIC off the hook, but if you told me our current manager was Tony Count rather than Antonio Conte, I'd be shocked that he hasn't been sacked already. I like Conte, I wanted us to give him all the tools he needed, but right now we're at a crossroads where his stubbornness seems to be buggering us short term - but the long term gain will be nonexistent if it's clear (which it feels increasingly like) he'll be gone by the summer anyway.
Our problems run deep but the season could be 'saved', at least a little, by a change.
That sounds like something a well-run club would do, and we're...
