Exactly this. If they sack Conte within the next week it would be Pochettino’s best chance. If the club stick with Conte until the summer, they probably will be looking at younger project managers contracted to other clubs rather than going back to Poch
Last time Mason stood in he played his old mates all the time.
Fuck me. If you are offended by stuff like this, you’d better buckle up buttercup. Not really the forum to be throwing your weight around a fortnight after joining.
defo seems like his stock isnt high enough to get a big club. lets be honest he was probably the worst manager PSG has had in a long long time.
It's the fact he called him a commie for writing a long post that really sold it for me.

Trolling is meant to be funny or witty. You're neither.
Don't let spurs_1961 see this reply, fucking hell you will be sent to the gulag.No of course he wasn't but by all accounts his first pick was Gvardiol (Too expensive) and Bastoni (Didn't want to leave Italy) so seemingly he wanted a LCB, in that time we have seen Martinez, Botman and Badiashile move the PL as well as Hincappie and and Ndicki, Kilman available or at least gettable, all left footed, are any of these players not good enough for Spurs, would they not improve the team?
I'm sure he didn't want Spence but it's obvious we needed a RWB and a LW (The club have been looking for a LW since Diaz) Spence is playing well at Rennes and Danjuma scored 6 in 9 in the CL last season, what grounds does he have to not use them when he played Emerson who wasn't at the level for 6 months and an out of form Son?
The CB situation is bad at the club because the recruitment over the years has been a bag of shite let's be real. I don't expect him to come out and slag anyone off but there's clearly a balance if you're a football manager, if you don't rate a player then you don't openly come and boost him on many different occasions, if said player was SUCH a problem you would prioritise replacing them.
I think Conte and his staff do know football or football players yet the evidence this season suggests that he seems to have lost focus, do you not think he can be questioned on some of his decisions?
By the way this was the same DOF he worked with before for a few years so again the club bent over backwards to appease him. This is the same DOF running the recruitment now by the way so why are we making excuses for him?
Well obviously he's not good enough that's the point but he did sign off on him.
He can talk all he want about raising the levels but how many players are you expected to bring in over 3 windows which was what his contract was permitted to? How do you expect the club to rebuild the team in such a quick turnaround, he said himself it would take 3-4 windows last year at the point where we only had 2. If you're making such statements in public then you shouldn't be expecting a quick fix.
Richarlison has been stuck on the bench for the most part when he's not been injured, he hasn't played him plenty at all, that's nonsense, he's missed 8 games this season through injury and he's only completed one 90 mins out of a possible 18.

No-one has said that he should be playing instead of Kane but he should have got more mins due to an out of form Son.
Dier, we are talking about Dier - It was a general point stemmed from this post:
Manager - Antonio Conte
Guys tells the truth and gets called a cunt for it?! Harsh. He got us into the Top 4 last year, don't forget. We did the bare minimum last summer in the window and fucked around almost all of January. It doesn't matter who the manager is, under ENIC and Levy (the actual cunt in all of this)...
Yeah no-one's going to argue that, we made a lot of mistakes in the past.
But you have to ask yourself if he's getting what he can out of the current squad and the near £200m outlay is getting used to it's maximum, do you think it is because you'll find a lot of fans that don't and I assume the board thinks that too.
Oh come off it, please use some context in your argument.
We were knocked out all the cups by weaker opposition than us and in those matches not even laying a finger on the opposition.
We've had about 2/3 complete 90 min performances this season in the league and toe football we gave played has been average at best
We are 4th by having a virtue of having a killer in front of goal, something our rivals do not have.
You can't say 4th is probably the best you're gonna get out of this squad because many of our players are under performing, the only constant you have is Kane who is World Class.
That's all well and good buy nobody held a gun to Conte's head to sign a contract.
We can call out the intentions of Levy and rightly so, I think he was personally trying to save his skin but again no-one forced Conte to take the contract and with that there's a level of accountability he should be taking.
I think it's fine to call out the board by the way but no way should Conte be getting away with it, I don't have an issue with the press conference and what he said but he's in full preservation mode and he's using it to protect himself as opposed to really looking out for the club.
