I don't see the players are 'just playing for the sake of it' at all. They are clearly playing for Conte, it's just they aren't good enough to do it and don't trust the defence.
I don't think that's the case. Some players are not good enough but they are not so bad that we play the same terrible way every week, against Arsenal, Crystal Palace or Portsmouth. It's exactly the same thing every game. His system is VERY rigid and if they don't trust it and see the point it won't work.

Classic Spurs mentality if that’s true. Conte doesn’t sign a new contract because we won’t back him, then we pretend we didn’t even want him to extend because we need someone to blame.

It’ll work, though, and we’ll be back to square one - claiming he wasn’t good enough and that the squad wasn’t being used correctly.

And so begins the goodbye dance where our name is likely to get dragged through the mud

And Poch comes in, naive spurs fans are happy again, probably get a few results and repeat vicious cycle.

Think its come to the point where the home and away support has be toxic now, which is not ideal and a massive shame.

Yep two weeks to transfer window ends seen this scenario a mile away perfect excuse for Levy to try and find a manager that should take about 2 weeks then to late to sign anyone!

Yep it will be "assess options until the summer".

And if its Poch, fans will fall for all of this becasue of the romantic nature of the return.

Pretty well known that Mokbel is one of those who gets his info from the Spurs side, too. If we were planning on backing Conte then this wouldn’t be coming out in the press. It’s been leaked so fans start accepting we won’t be making any big moves in the market and so that they can shift the blame onto Conte.

it’s the Daily Mail. It’s not difficult to make inferences in a time like this.

Don’t let it turn this place toxic. Let’s see how it rides out
