Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Who the fuck are most of these players to decide they don’t respect Antonio Conte? Or Jose? Or Poch? Or the next manager?

What have they done that gives them the lofty status to decide that the manager should leave and they should stay?

They’ve done nothing, but that’s football. We have a manager who is determined to leave and players who are not enjoying his football ideas. That can’t work.

Our players being weak-willed losers is a separate issue that flows directly from Levy and the culture of mediocrity that he has fostered over 20 years. He is exactly the same as the players. Not focused on winning, turning on managers that he hasn’t supported, easily distracted etc. A team reflects the character of the manager but it reflects the character of the chairman too.

Conte is being fired essentially because he is more demanding than the players and chairman. He has made serious managerial mistakes as well but his ambition is the root cause of the problem. He asked for Bastoni and he was given Lenglet. Are we really surprised that we don’t win anything when a washed up player is our main CB signing?

Levy doesn’t make winning a priority so why would the players? Why are we paying £1500 for our season tickets? So that Davinson Sanchez can keep enjoying a slap-up breakfast at the training centre for the 7th year in a row?

It doesn’t matter who decides. They’re human beings and they perform better in a happy environment, just like the rest of us.

Just give me fun , exciting football to look forward to each week and I'm a happy Billy BoB
Wow! Highest ticket prices and match day revenues in Europe, nay, the WORLD, and all our fans want is exciting football to look forward too each week. Fuck actually winning, eh'

I guess Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis are very happy Billy Bob's too

No wonder they chose Spurs!
 
With all due respect to fans I don't get this happy enough to see exciting football how long will the joy last seeing us losing six goal thrillers not too long I guess .Obviously we need the the right balance but my main wish is we win the odd trophy even if the football is effective more than exciting.
 
The reason why it’s a good idea is the same as it was with Mourinho. The players do not like the manager, do not enjoy their work and are more likely to win matches if he’s not there.

If the players do not respect the manager then there has to be a change.

That's a good reason to sack Conte yes. But again not a good reason we didn't have someone lined up to replace him already unless he are using this as Masons audition
 
Ok and again why other then the incredibly unlikely scenario that the manager we want Is a European elite one currently at a club in the hunt for something. Why wouldn't they come here?

I'm yet to hear a good argument as to why (if as reported) sacking Conte, and letting Mason run the team for 11 games. Is a good idea

Reason why is it's not and if the club do this it's another sign the board really are clueless and dont give a single shit

Your arguing with Daniel Levy's personal bottom wiper hear mate. Whatever transpires will be in the best interest of the football club....Makes Airfixx look like a hard-core ENIC out extremist.

He's in awe

What a great few days for Daniel
1) Fantastic documentary showcasing the man, the myth, the legend
2) Happy 61st Birthday, he doesn't look a day over 60 :cool:
3) Everyone likes him now because he lives in Pep's head rent free (He's saved money again)
What a hat trick!

I'm in awe 💪
 
Has he actually got any big decisions right this season?

Formation, tactics, style of play and entertainment, managing players game time, managing fitness and injuries. He seems to have got them all wrong on more than one occasion and continuously. I don’t think I’ve ever been as disappointed in a manager as I have been with Conte. All he’s been is a slightly better Nuno this season.

But the football hasn’t been effective. It’s why we rarely score in first halves, are always going a goal down and end up having to chase games. It’s because the tactics and formation at the outset have been continuously ineffective and he refuses to change it. Then it ends up down to the brilliance of the players, mainly Kane, to get us out of the jaws of defeat.
