Has Wiggy been sacked yet? I'm so happy I don't have to see his depressing face in the dugout again.

A young project manager next please who wants to play front foot, attacking football. No more negative managers like Maureen and Wiggy. No more ex Chelski managers. No more blaming Levy when he's given Conte a fortune to spend on players.

Conte blaming the club needs to remember that he couldn't beat a Championship side who had rested half of their team.

He's a loser and will be lucky to get a job at SPAL next season.

I don't like the football Conte plays, the system, the way he only ever makes reactive substitutions never proactive.

But he's bang on about the culture of the club.

I'll have £50 with you he wins a trophy at his next club and another £50 with you that this "project manager" you crave wins fuck all.

Probably (trophy) but it’s hard to disagree that this years style is brutal to watch. It’s not as bad as Jose but not far off

Joyless and predictable
 
Neither does Levy.

:llorishowudoin:

Seriously though, why do you lot still give a shit?

Poch or no Poch, whomever we bring in will fail and be sacked within 2-3 years.

We need new owners more than we need a new manager.

It's that fucking simple.
I think pretty much everyone knows this is the case. Just that a lot of people are too cowardly to admit they've been so wrong for so long
 

What concerns specifically? That we have "selfish" players? That there is a "loser" mentality at the club that comes from ownership?

Frankly, Conte has been backed by Levy quite a lot. The "selfish" players are the ones Conte brought in or has kept playing. The ones he didn't want have been sent out on loan. Was it perfect? No. But he's been given a TON of resources and he's failed spectacularly.

Are other managers worried they won't be able to handle a championship and newly promoted side in the Cups? Or that they won't be able to score a goal against a bang average Milan side?

I'm not buying this stuff from Matt Law.

Now, if you told me incoming managers were worried they wouldn't get a long stretch of time to implement their football if we don't get top 4? Sure, that would make sense to me.

But the stuff Conte raised was more just a mirror on his own performance honestly. I'm not saying we're perfect or gave Conte everything he wanted, but the framing of this is just weird.

Conte's rant did include some truths. But also glossed over his own faults.

It's Conte's job to manage and improve the players. That includes their egos. It is Conte's job to manage the on field product and improve it if it does not produce results and so on.

I can definitely see future managers wanting to know that they will have the time to implement their system. And know what the future is for Paratici. But there will 100% be managers willing to take the Spurs job. We're a big Premier League side in London ffs.

If those managers are up to the expectations of the fans is a completely different matter. That's going to be the big struggle for any new project manager coming in. There's a section of the fanbase that does not have the patience for such a rebuild.

Right, my point is that the "concerns" these managers supposedly have that mirror the "concerns" Conte aired... just reeks of bs.

Conte isn't complaining about not having enough time to implement his system, or the club not having enough patience, which are what I think the chief concerns of any incoming "project" manager would have.

GlastonSpur GlastonSpur . I'll also have a £50 charity bet Conte wins a major trophy at his next club.
Would you like to put your money where your mouth is? For charity?
