Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[Japhet]

If everyone can see how bad our passing is then what the hell does he do on the training pitch.

I think it's our movement off the ball that is the worst. Nobody is trying to find space and all seem to expect the ball played straight to them. It makes for the type of tedious display we've seen in the last couple of matches. Maybe Conte instructs them to not wander from their assigned positions, but if he does he should have a rethink. Would be good to see Kulusevski pop up on the left occasionally, but the only time he ventures infield is with the ball at his feet.

Cue the Conte to PSG and Poch to Spurs rumors. Same source that said Conte offered himself to PSG

Well if somethings happen, you better hope they do before we sign players this summer. Big difference between what we'd need for a Conte team and a Poch team.

Apparently they’re discussing a €15m settlement. Would suggest they aren’t putting him on gardening leave? Could be wrong, though.

Not sure if anyone has been on Twitter today but Jesus Perez has been pretty active. Liking a lot of tweets from spurs fans telling him and Poch to return to spurs. He tweeted this as well which people rightly pointed out had more Spurs related photos than PSG ones:

Who in their right mind would want to manage PSG’s prima donnas?!

PSG come over as quite a self-entitled club if you ask me!

Someone who wants to pad there record with some easy trophies whilst adding some big money to the bank balance.

Good luck to Conte if he goes. He clearly feels he’s doing us a favour being our manager.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Can hardly call it surprising if he jumps ship. Could explain the recent dip in his game management too ...

Hmmm, the Ligue 1 is hardly up there as far as the CV is concerned.

I really can’t see Conte getting on with the lack of work rate shown by PSG’s front three.

 

[Montalbano]

I’m not believing shit about Conte to PSG unless the Italian press all begins to jump onboard.

 

[WannaDanceWithUdogie]

Perez liked a tweet earlier telling him to 'come back we are sick of the Italian' or something

There’s too much smoke for this

It would explain the sudden downturn in form too.

There’s only a report from one source?

 

[shelfboy68]

There is usually no smoke without fire and I can see this happening he has a much better chance of winning something with PSG.

Conte won’t see that as a problem. Evidenced by the last 2 games, he thinks his philosophy trumps all.

Aside from the huge culture clash, I think PSG makes sense from Conte’s perspective. The last thing people criticise him for is his poor performances in Europe. Inter fans warned us that he’s often incapable of preparing for two games in a week and that’s often why he sucks in Europe. In Ligue 1 he can probably get away with focussing on Europe and allowing the sheer quality of his squad to win league matches.

Thought these guys were Arsenal fans who have regularly posted negative Spurs stuff over the years... ??‍

Whilst I agree, LP are super reliable for PSG. If Poch gets sacked this week, it’s time to panic.

Why would we panic, really. So far it's been okay. Pretty ho-hum. Certainly not seen enough to justify a panic.
