His post match comments were him trying to get Levy and Co to finally grasp the fact the squad was a mess. He hadn't listened to Poch in 2019 so why had it got to 2023 and we still had so much dross at the club?
His football is his football. It never changed. The only time I really felt he properly did something tantamount to a sacking was Milan at home. Bringing on Sanchez for Kulu was criminal. We had Danjuma, Moura, Porro, Devine all on the bench and we needed a goal.
As for leaving us in a similar state, he left in 4th, way better off than when he joined. It was after he left we collapsed.



Bad manager that hasn't failed anywhere and wasn't actually failing at Spurs.
Boring, I can accept. But he's not a bad manager. I'd argue Poch was worse just for failing to win a single thing with the squad he had at Spurs. And he currently has a hugely expensively assembled squad at Chelsea, that I genuinely believe is better than 10th - yet there they are.

I think you maybe reaching with that one!

IMHO he was solely looking out to numero uno, doing his very best to deflect attention from his woeful performances and make his position untenable so that he’d get paid off early.

Ange’s turnaround of the club in such a short period just emphasises Cunte’s shortcomings.

Numero Uno in a farmers league, where the side has won the League 3017 seasons in a row, potentially barring the Kane season, and nobody else is financially even in the same Universe???

Ideal, I think I can work my magic here...

This. He is a complete joke. Him and Mourinho are now past it and are being employed solely on their past. The only thing Jose has over this cretin is at least the oily bastard has a modicum of charm, when he wants.
 
He’s probably thinking he’ll polish up his CV with another giv ‘me trophy, followed up by another huge pay off in 18mths when he has the inevitable meltdown/throwing players under the bus/owner slag off/transfer window tantrum (delete as appropriate)!

Legend. I'll never forget that run where against all the odds he somehow took the likes of Dier, Davies Doherty and Winks into the Champions League at the expense of a heavily backed and revitalised Woolwich team

But most of all, Legend for calling out our shithouse owners for what they are!

Conte was right. Our owners are shite

Jose is a lot more charming but Conte was definitely better for us .. we made top four despite Nuno crapping up the start of a season and even the second season we were utterly boring but remained competent right up until an implosion.

Jose had an alright half season and a good start to his full season but we were dreadful after. Worse than Conte. And that loss to a managerless Zagreb…

Conte I think could win a league elsewhere because his tactics are boring but still semi relevant. Jose I think will only win tier 2/3 trophies from now on.

For balance Jose did get us to a cup final & Conte was backed a lot more.

Jose had a front line of Kane, Bale, Son and refused to exploit/use that. Glad he has no love for spurs, he's a piece of garbage and not welcome back

Ultimately, it's about where you're at.

That first Conte season, we should absolutely have celebrated that finish. We started the season with Nuno, Kane wanted out and for half the season, it was dreadful stuff. The fact we not only ended up finishing top four but beating Woolwich to it was great. If you cant celebrate that (certainly as fans), why the fuck are you watching this sport?

Woolwich fans would have celebrated 4th that year and finishing above us like they'd have won the league.

Now if they went and finished 4th this year. Celebrations of course won't be the same. Because of where they are at. They'd probably be calling for their manager's head.

It's perverse that in an era where the titles and trophies are so dominated by a select few more than ever before, we are repeatedly hammered over the head with the notion that you are nothing without winning them...

By the logic of some, there's no point in 95% of the football clubs in the world existing.
