They will probably do well. Conte is NOT a bad coach, his first season with us was brilliant. Totally resurrected the club. He just wasn’t suited to being here longer term, I don’t think he was ever that keen on us and it turned toxic quickly.
He will feel comfortable at Juve like he did at Inter. Will probably throw a wobbly 2-3 seasons in but they will win stuff.

Of course he will, it's Serie A
Won't be getting anywhere near the CL though.
Probably not, his teams suck in Europe. But Juve have struggled with Serie A lately so getting back to dominating domestically is the short term plan I imagine.
He can do well outside Italy but he’s too temperamental and his methods seem to have a short lifespan. Especially with us where again, I really don’t think he ever wanted to be. He was here for a pay check.
Hope we draw them in CL next season and then their fans can hear him drone on about how it's impossible for them to compete with the mighty Tottenham Hotspur with our rich history in knockout competition...
Conte is still bald.
So he's now got the reigns of the club that he feared so much last season.......
Such is their immense pedigree; league & CL double incoming then presumably, Tony?
Presumably; the 'bountiful' trf kitty shouldn't be an issue either:
2023/24: €49m (n)
2022/23: €45m (n)
2021/22: €88m (n)
2020/21: -€21m (n)
AVG = €40m...... So not even 1 x Porro per season. No worries.

I genuinely believe losing to them was part of an existing negotiation with them for the job. I knew he'd end up here. He had AC's dick so far down his throat Linda Lovelace was on speed- dial talking him through it. His behaviour pre and post that tie was shameful. I hope we get to utterly batter them and get to watch him squirm.Hope we draw them in CL next season and then their fans can hear him drone on about how it's impossible for them to compete with the mighty Tottenham Hotspur with our rich history in knockout competition...

Never saw that coming when he was deep throating them in the press conference after our game against them last season
This 100 fkn p'cent!
Thing is; albeit a loss, that away result with 10 men was a good enough platform to go on and win the tie.
What followed before during and after the home tie (including the FA Cup exit to Sheff U B-team and a dreadful away performance to Wolves) was disgusting tho'.
Bald fucker took us back 3 years.
Spiteful knob, i have zero respect for him.

Glad as I am that he's gone and Ange is here, the bolded isn't true at all.
He took over following the string of Mourinho, Mason, Nuno, who all to varying degrees continued a downward spiral that had already begun under Poch.
He then got that side back into CL at the first try after taking over mid-season, and at the time of leaving had us in and around the CL qualification places.
However dour the football and the mood around the club, any discussion over where we would have finished last season had he stuck around is merely speculation, but the club was certainly not in a worse place when he left than when he joined.
The rot that was there at his exit was already there before he joined, he just didn't do anything to remove it.
If he knew the truth and its' foundations so well perhaps he shouldnt have taken the job.
Whiny manchild.
No way. No No way. Much though I'd love it.
A lot of revisionism going on. Mostly I imagine because he's ex chelsea and some of our fans can't stand that.
We were very strong under Conte from about the 1-0 away loss to Burnley onwards. He quite clearly had enough, what with his mates dying and his health failing. But when he was on his game and the team was playing for him, we were pretty formidable.
Football style is one thing, people can debate that all day, but match outcomes aren't debatable. We were good at gettings points before all the non-football things started to take their toll.
People act like we were in disarray when he was sacked. We were 20 seconds away from moving into 3rd place in the league. He was sacked after MW 28, and of those 28 rounds, we'd been in the top 4 for 21 of them.
Also, I don't think people here can keep denying there have been similar signs this season where, when under pressure, we fold. We'd dropped points from winning positions, we've had to cling on for dear life. How can people keep arguing it's a Conte thing? Or that it was a Mourinho thing.
There's something within our squad still that seems to default to panic stations, dropping back and clinging on.
