Pretty unforgivable against the team bottom of the league who lost two starting CBs in the first half…

Shameful. And people will still sit here and defend him, blaming individuals

You can make the change as long as the plan is in place. Any rushed, emotionally-driven appointment out of desperation only sets us back further if there’s no thought behind it other than “just get a new guy cuz the current guy can’t stay any longer”. The only option is Mason interim if Conte goes unless they have that plan. And tbh even entertaining the idea that the club is competent enough to have a plan in place is giving them way too much credit so the only options for me are Conte or Mason til the summer then change. I honestly couldn’t care less where we finish this season. I only really care about forming a consensus and a base to build success for the long term. And there’s basically a 0% chance that is in place right now, so in my mind there’s basically a 0% chance we should do anything but stick with Conte or give it Mason til the summer.

A month ago I wanted him gone.

This is on Levy now. Didn’t take action when needed now we’ve taken 1 point from Wolves, Soton and Leicester and gone out to mediocre teams in the cup.
If Levy waits for us to drop out of the top 4 before acting, he’ll prove what an incapable football chairman he is. We’re only in the top 4 because we have played more games than those around us.

Top 4 is still more than possible if we sack Conte now.

Our weakness is defending, our strength is in the front line. So it’s only logical that we play in a manner that means our defenders are asked to do the most work.
Conte doesn't know how to progress from GK to attackers without 3 good CBS (or 2) and 2 great WBs. There's a reason why he doesn't let his midfilders improvise on passes, there is a strict structure and when world class players all follow it then his teams can move from defence to attack. He isn't flexible enough to change it up when he doesn't have all the pieces he needs.

Sitting on the edge of your box in a flat 5-4-1 being completely passive after going 3-1 up, letting Southampton pop it about under no pressure. Against the worst team in the league this season. Unacceptable.

Are there flights from Southampton Airport to Italy?

At some point we need to stick with a manager and live through the rough times. This isn't that time - we allowed Che Adams and Theo Walcott to score today.

I don't think we have a squad capable of challenging for the league or the CL but it is a squad that is capable of more than this.

Time to go Antoinio, give it to Mason for the rest of the season and start again once the season is over. FML.

Enrique, Tuchel, Poch, and Gallardo are all available to take the job tomorrow.

Given that it has been clear for months that a change was going to be made in the summer, we should be well down the line of having a plan in place.

Make the fucking change now, there’s no point in waiting whatsoever.

Poor show from 3-1 up, feels like a defeat. Where is my exciting Tottenham gone, ohh how I miss you.

Usually when
Costs money doesn't it

Missing CL costs loads of money too. Temps are cheap and we will pay Conte money in all scenarios till the summer. It's sunken cost.

Temp might give us a shot at top 4, keeping up with Conte equals throwing the towel and giving up

We'll be 4th now for the international break. I don't know exactly what Levy will do but I just can't see it buddy.

Then Levy can look In the mirror at June and blame himself instead of Conte. Is Conte ahead in the sack race after tonight or is it Moyes or Rodgers?

Honestly don’t care. This performance wasn’t even the worst we have seen this season. I find myself only half watching the games these days. It’s very very clear we are no longer building for anything so it’s hard to feel emotionally involved with what’s going on at Spurs. Jose, Nuno, Conte… it’s all merged into one. The fact I have zero faith in club to appoint the right manager next doesn’t help. I find it very hard to attach myself to the team when we are very clearly just treading water waiting for the summer to come and Conte leaves.

Apathy. The overriding feeling. Most of us want a certain outcome but equally know that this outcome is tremendously unlikely. The joy of an unrepresented Board.

If Davies and Richy are out can you imagine how pointless our bench will be for the next game? We might not see a sub made again until next season.

I believe every single person at the club needs to go. Levy, the board, all the players, all the staff, every single employee at every level throughout the club. Get everyone out and start again from scratch.

Hear ya.

Behind both if that's been updated. Levy won't read the room and see the bigger picture imo
