So you bring in Poch and then chop both his arms off? I give it two months before people are shouting for him to be sacked again.

Not sure on Conte next season but overall i agree, certainly from the 3 names i mentioned. Really wouldnt want Tuchel, just more of the same, tetchy ex Chelsea serving up boring football. Poch would need a lot of pliable younger players but you could see a base forming around Spence, Romero, Udogie Bisouma, Bentancur, Skipp, Richarlison & Kulusevski. Hard workers with no egos.

Maybe the players forgot what club they play for?!
Maybe you also forgot that the fans in the stadium or in front of the TV spend a hell of a lot of money to see this club?!
Maybe players should consider that it's time to bust your ass like a lot of fans do?!
Yes, I realize these are godly wishes - but sometimes I get the impression that today's soccer players have lost their grip and are floating!
COYS - performing as well as the fans in the stands - it's about Tottenham!
Give Poch young, physical players with good technique and he'll make them competitive. Give him older stars who can't work without the ball and he won't.
You'd have a massive rebuilding job on your hands, quite a few players we have won't really fit into a Poch team, we don't even have many players coming through the academy do we?
Having no one manage doesn’t seem like it would work, but it’s a strategy we haven’t tried yet, so could be.
"Modern club, fantastic training ground, amazing stadium and passionate fans"
Hey Tony what about the chairman, transfer budget, and your current squad of players?
you're right, he's prob lying. I bet he hates it here."Modern club, fantastic training ground, amazing stadium and passionate fans"
Hey Tony what about the chairman, transfer budget, and your current squad of players?
I'll do it
Sure, Conte could have responded as if he were in a parallel universe where all the other managers that left after saying nice PR-things in order to keep their uncritical fans onsides no longer had to say those nice things and instead could say what they were really feeling OR a more accurate assessment of the reality on the ground:
"Yeah, things aren't going as I had planned; the players are shit, the football is more eye-bleedingly dull than the normal tripe I serve up, and Levy is a more tight-fisted, ready-wth-the-excuse cunt than I had anticipated. And now the typcally slow-witted supporters are getting hip to the tacticless deepblock, backwards and sideways gutless garbage I'm putting out there. They are starting to whine like little bitches about paying big money for only 45 minutes where my team looks interested in participating in the goings-on on the pitch. Ungrateful bastards!!!!
I have no idea how Poch made this work for so long but I am very sure as to the reasons it went sour for him, Mou, and Nuno. No serious manager can work under these arbitrary constraints. There is no plan, no objective, no destination, and barely shambition so it's impossible to devise a strategy to accomplish anything because you don't know what the target is beyond the nebulous 'win' and, of course, the top 4 trophy. And in your heart you know that when you actually get close to real, objective success you will have your knees cut out from under you by that scheming bald fucker with a Saha, Nelson, or Nkoudou when you need real players.
So, it all points to going home...where my family resides so I can see my lovely daughter and get 'reacquainted' with my wife. And with that Triassic dinosaur Allegri getting the axe from my favorite club in the world, a bigger club than Tottenham, the old lady supporters are probably primed for my Jurassic football...with wingbacks.
It was real Tottenham. Thanks for the 30M!!!! Chumps.
Were you expecting something like that? Surely, considering he's currently employed on a contract way beyond anything he's delivered and will NEVER get again from anyone he's going to come out with the best PR answer he can find. You were sold on that were you?
Nah, you don't have Conte's resume. So we'll only give you 14M but you gotta promise to give us reactionary bollocks. Under no circumstances should the ball be played forwards from our standard deep block. You must also play the same 11 unless injury prevents it. Oh, and no fucking subs before 80 minutes or you're fired.
Can you handle that? We have to keep continuity with our new DNA.
No but come on, people always give it the "what else was he going to say!??!" when says positive stuff about the club, The point is he doesn't have to say anything or he can say the bare minimum, it's just frustrating when people say he's "lying" when he says he gets on well with Levy etc.
I think that looks most agreeable to me

Which is pretty much what he does say. The bare minimum
Ok, so Allegri gets sacked...what do you expect to happen? If we truly do have an option year do you think DL is going to take it up and risk 15M more just in the hopes a broke Juve will negotiated some termination payoff? Or will Conte say "Daniel, I'm outta here" and DL just let him go at a natural separation point? Or does DL take up the option and Conte manages here another season just like his awful last season at Chealsea? Remember when he downed tools on them? Yup, that was shameful from a professional manager but he's got form so would DL risk it?
