Conte. Just for the absolute fucking chaos.

Not sure if Roger is the one. Leicester are not looking particularly good ATM. I'd move him down the list.I wonder how bookies do their manager odds - it's not as though they have huge amounts of consistent data to go on... For example at one major bookie:
Next Spurs manager favourite is Graham Potter at 3/1.
Yet on the next Newcastle manager list, Potter is only 16th favourite at 33/1.
Given the current situation at both clubs, is Potter really 10 times more likely to be next Spurs manager than next Newcastle manager? :/
Btw in case anyone is interested, Spurs favourites are as follows, in this order:
Potter
Rodgers
Howe
Conte
...not that it necessarily means much, as I said initially it's always a very unpredictable market... But the bookies certainly aren't falling over themselves to shorten Conte's odds, despite various media suggestions this morning. I suspect that they, like most of us, expect it either to be total fabricated bollocks, or expect Conte to laugh in Levy's face if the approach is true...
He's on ITV2 nowOnly Harry Potter can get us out of this mess!!!
{Apologies to anyone who has already made that joke!}
Is this confirmed? Perhaps he wouldn't want to leave mid season but I´d be shocked if Potter were to turn us down otherwise. We are a far bigger club than Brighton with much more upward potential and would clearly be a step up for him, wage wise as well as more money to spend, better players, facilities etcMore to do with the fact that he wouldn't coming here than people not being convinced
Potter has already turned us down in the summer.Is this confirmed? Perhaps he wouldn't want to leave mid season but I´d be shocked if Potter were to turn us down otherwise.

Also he's worked abroad already, I'd be willing to bet he'd move for a German, Spanish or Dutch club. I'm also willing to bet that the likes of Dortmund already have him on a list of potential managers.He knows he's good, and Liverpool, City, Chelsea and United jobs could all be up for grabs in the next year or two. Why risk your reputation on Daniel Levy, and a squad that's been playing awful football for three years now?
Valverde would be very good. He wouldn't play like Poch but it would be good and he would get the players on his side quickly I think.Valverde surely worth consideration? Don't think this is a job for Eddie Howe, and I don't dislike Eddie Howe.
I know, I'm watching it againHe's on ITV2 now
Valverde's teams don't score enough goals, forget about a Messi inspired Barca or Greek giant Olympiakos, look at the stats of all his other teams equivalent to Spurs.I'd accept Fonseca, Favre but wouldn't hold much hope, just the football would be entertaining. (dear lord how far we've fallen).
Potter, Rodgers I'd support them.
Valverde, Poch, Conte would be the impossible dream.
How low must Fonseca's self esteem be to even pick up the phone to us? Even if he did he'd surely get an earful from the missus.I'd accept Fonseca, Favre but wouldn't hold much hope, just the football would be entertaining. (dear lord how far we've fallen).

Poch cannot come back unless he can have a full rebuild or most of the squad has gone. He needs close to a fresh slate. 60% of these pricks downed tools for him.How about Levy go on his hands and knees to Paris and beg Poch to come back. Or were Champions League finals and top four finishes not as exciting as losing to fucking West Ham and Crystal Palace?
