That leaves PSG, and there's no worse match for Conte than that. PSG wants the Champions League at all costs, and Conte is notoriously bad at it. Maybe the Madrid clubs?

very odd that stellini stays.
How long has Stellini been Conte's assistant?
Poch at 10s is worth a bet.
I think I need a few weeks before giving a reasoned opinion on Conte.
Thoroughly enjoyed him last season, and was so hyped for this one (I think the players were too, maybe that was the problem).
Last couple of months have been diabolical. Appreciate all the tough things going on in his personal life, but I've been seething at some of his behaviour. Particularly the hypocrisy, saying he would 'die for Tottenham', whilst simultaneously going in on the whole club like a wrecking ball.
Anyway, penny for Djed Spence's thoughts tonight...

How many more managers does Levy need to sack before some on here finally wise up to what the REAL problem is with our club?
2? 3? 6?!
Stellini until the end of the season is a club GIVING up on the season.
Kane, save your career and get out before we kill your chances of silverware for good.
It says it all about us that he is more likely to win something with England than with us and England haven't won anything since '66!

You might have noticed both Bissouma and Richarlison have been out for lengthy period this season - can't blame anyone for that. But neither seem to have lived up to their form at previous clubs I'd agree.
Lenglet has done 'ok' as our extra LCB on loan as none of our preferred CB's moved in the summer (except Bremer who wanted to stay in Italy). Has alternated between first team and bench.
Spence - Conte's choice not to play him. We saw him at Notts Forest and did fine, and again at Rennes keeping out Mbappe and Messi recently, so no reason not to use him more imo.
Forster - done well as 2nd GK when needed
Perisic - Definitely Conte's signing and did fine for 3 months, but seems to be finding PL tough to track back in. Has not lived up to expectation.
I'd agree that none of them, possibly bar Forster, have made that much of an impression on the first team this season so far - some down to Conte (Perisic and Spence), some to injury (Bissouma and Richarlison), That's life - but bench a lot stronger even though that was not the plan
No reason why Bissouma, Richarlison and even Spence shouldn't make a bigger impression next season, with Forster continuing as an alternate GK.
You might have noticed PL is the ONLY competition we are still in - so finishing as high as possible is the only possible aim now !

Stellini staying is certainly an unexpected turn of events.
and why is Masons odds so short? there's absolutely no way he will get the full time position if they didn't even trust him with the interim gig. Stellini has more chance then him ffs.

This season was way less than expected (he did a very good job last season post-Burnley).
We have regressed from last year, he had a preseason with new players, has spent the most amount of money than any manager in our entire history and the football has been almost as bad as Mourinho's = unwatchable.
Now, it could later unravel a bit that the World Cup was a big factor in how shit we were, there is maybe a case for this if you look at where Chavs are, where Liverpool are, that Man U are nowhere near with only +10 goal diff and getting spanked 7-0 by a faltering Liverpool. You can even throw into the mix Man City, because when you watch them they look a shadow of their usual selves (people are saying it's because of Halaand). The one thing in common here is us and all those mentions had the most mins played at the world cup by any teams in the PL (Woolwich the fewest by a mile). I have no idea how to prove this or if it can ever been shown scientifically because Clubs will not be sharing each other's data.
But all this aside we are worse today by a long way than we were last year!
The odds have been drifting all week though. I don't think he'll be coming back. Not with Levy still stinking the place out.
But good luck if you do lump on him.
Absolute fucking fraud
There was a PSG fan account (big one) that did a poll last night and Conte came out with the worst %. Totally bizarrely Mourinho came out as their favourite!!!!!
we are worse today then we were last year I agree BUT we are not worse off now then we were prior to him coming.
