VillaChris Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Would be impressed if they got Conte although that's going to be by far the hardest job of his career so interesting what he does there next 2-3 seasons....if he lasts that long.

I mean Chelsea finished about 10th when he took over but they had a much better squad than Spurs, just needed to get them motivated again. Inter were regularly finishing top 4, just needed to turn them into title winners which he did comfortably. Perhaps when he took over Juventus that was similar although nearly a decade ago. Loved watching them play under him. Did well to get Italy to quarters of euro 2016 with probably one of their weakest tournament squads in recent times. He's a very very good manager so Spurs need to give him conditions to work like he has at other clubs otherwise it will just fizzle out after 18 months. Amazed Man. United aren't all over this but they just procrastinate too long over managers and Ole will just do his usual win, loss, win thing as season goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Football is so short termist nowadays. The media is to blame. They know that 4 teams want/expect to be top 2, 8 teams want to be top 4, 10 teams want to be top 6 etc. And they go after the lowest placed manager in each section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Between Poch, Jose and now Nuno, Spurs must be shedding a sythe load of cash and Conte will cost them 15m/20m a year and no doubt he will want to spend a few pennies in the transfer windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I hope Nuno had a nice few months in London and did a spot of site seeing whilst getting paid millions to be sacked of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Imagine if Conte turns spuds down again, that would make up a little for a shit weekend, come on bad boy, tell mini-me to shove it up his fat jackxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted November 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2021 Conte and Levy are a match made in hell. Conte wants all of the money, all of the control and all of the guarantees. He's a winner and he'll improve them, but he won't last beyond next summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Genie said: Yeah, it seems slightly harsh, they’d have gone 4th if they beat United who were having their own troubles. Nuno said last week there’s several players at the club not putting effort in. I’m undecided whether Kane can’t be arsed, or is genuinely now that bad. Without injuries being involved, I don't believe for a moment a player goes from being the top scorer and assister to looking like a competition winner without a complete lack of effort being a huge factor. He's no flash in the pan that's reverted to type, he's been consistently lethal for years, he's just phoning it in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Some of it is presumably down to the huge quantity of football he plays, as well as poor conditioning. Spurs basically never rotated him last season, he then had a long summer during which he was already visibly jaded, then he spent the rest of his summer trying to wangle a transfer and lying on a beach in Florida rather than sufficient pre-season training. Which is not to let him off the hook, some of that is his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
