Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[Trix]

Totally agree with Simon Jordan. Sack him with zero compensation. Let him try to sue us- he hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Doubt he has a 'must entertain the crowd' clause in his contract.

 

[nailsy]

I know they say all publicity is good publicity but this is not a good look to potential investors.

Who would you like to see as next manager? Just as a Tottenham fan, not as an guy who gets info.

 

[Oscar22]

Yeah I find it hard to disagree with Jordan in the most part there, fair comment.

IMO, SJ hit the nail on the head.

Yeah I agree with Jordan especially these comments:
"You've got a situation now where somebody should be fired for bringing the club into disrupute rather than potentially having a debate about whether he's done enough to get paid off and get out the door...he's done enough to be fired, and fired without compensation."

NIce to hear someone talk some sense about Daniel Levy.

If at his hiring, Antonio Conte's brief from Daniel Levy, and Fabio Paratici, was to be competitive and get top 4, and not go for the Premier League or Champions League, what's he doing here? Should've hired Potter or Frank or any other project manager.

He's made his bed with Conte, and I think he should sleep in it. If Conte wants to stay and the players want to repsond positively to some criticism and get their heads out of their asses, then extend his contract.

Whose side are you on? The players who continually let us down, the chairman who continually lets us down, or the manager whose passion and CV say "winner."

They've spent comparative fortunes: either the highest or the second highest in the league at all of their last few clubs. If they thought they were getting that here, that's their folly.

You don't necessarily have to spend fortunes, a good start would be only buying the actual players they ask for and if you cannot afford them all, ask them to pick their priorities. We spent 20M on Spence and we didn't draw down 50M of the money that was available for improvement. So we could have bought a 70M player (centre half?) instead of a third right back.

 

[mil1lion]

PR suicide if Levy sacks him before the season ends.

Mason or a new manager (even poch) will not get us cl football. Conte might.

When that manager fails to finish in the top 4, it will just confirm everything that Conte said. If Mason sees out the season it will make Levy look especially stupid.

If a new manager comes in, it will completely tarnish their start with the players and the fan base.

Doing anything but having Conte see out the season will be disastrous for all involved.

I highly doubt an accomplished manager would want to see out the last ten games.

Maybe a Marco Silva type might risk it. But that is just Nuno 2 electric boogaloo.

This only made sense before his outburst. There's no way back now.

Antonio Conte showing up at training tomorrow after realizing Tottenham couldn’t even sack him correctly.

Bonus Amazon footage.

The sequel is coming
Tottenham: All or Nothing.... and then Nothing again

but Conte and Patrici spent the summer trying to woo anything from Serie A Bastoni who didn't want to leave, the Brazilian lad who went Juve (?) then another couple of Inter centre backs and he ended up picking Lenglet - besides the problem for him is not the players its how he sets them out to play the best centre backs in the world would struggle in a system where u can't keep the ball

I know they say all publicity is good publicity but this is not a good look to potential investors.

At the rate we’ve been negotiating with these ‘investors’, by the time we come to any agreement the Conte era will have been some time ago.

I don't know mate, as I've said medium to long term I don't think it matters. All the likely candidates have got pluses and minuses for me.

I meant more in terms of sponsorship deals.

Takeover talks probably dead anyway

Conte has let us down, the side is the club, all of the three parties, board, manager and players bare responsibility. Surely a world class coach achieves better motivation to make his players over perform rather than underperform

 

[nedley]

New deal incoming...

Think it would be reasonable to ask why he’s not been able to incorporate a DM and a forward that cost £90m combined into a team - I know there’s been injuries but he’s been paid £200k a week, he can’t feel like the club’s been stingy.

 

[RuskyM]

I think this is the funniest outcome, because like most Brits I’d rather someone else be miserable than I be happy.

Out of Son, Kane, Kulusevski. Who do you drop for Richarlison?

And if it's none of them. Then you're rotating him in amongst those 3 - which has been done.

Richarlison has played 1,200 minutes this season.

This season? Son.

How many minutes has he played in positions he’s actually comfortable in? Sticking him on the right wing never works.

 

[RuskyM]

I found a video of some of the interview which is better as it provides more context than the written word. Deki comes across very well imo and very professional:

You know, Deki and Hojbjerg have been far more levelheaded and mature than Conte.
