Wrong for the owners. He'd be great if they backed him.

I think what they mean is he is wrong from Levy and they're probably right.
The beating down of this fanbase mentally is quite something. People are saying they would settle for Fonseca or Parker . No other top six club would touch either with a bargepole but we have been beaten down to where people think we don't have options.
If levy got his shit together and was as passionate about the playing side as he is about infrastructure we could have anyone. That's the issue and we have to demand more from him.

I don't think it's simply about backing.
Conte is used to working with the best. Even if we spend big we're not going to beat Chelsea, City and Liverpool to top level players.

The way our fans wank on about DNA and identity as a reason for not wanting the best manager on the market, you wouldn’t guess we’ve won two trophies in 30 years

Can't believe it hasn't happened already.
Playing against a side that had just been hammered
Zero shots on target - And we were at home ffs
N'dombele, one of our better players in recent weeks - dropped
Maguire and Shaw booked early and no instruction to push up and turn them both and buy a cheap foul.
Kane an embaressment, but kept on.
He is out of his depth

Would be great if you give him £200m to buy replacements. Are ENIC gonna do that? I highly doubt it.

It's not just about Levy for me. I think Conte is wrong for where we are as a club.
Conte is great at working with the best and achieving at the top. We need someone to build that and coach the players.

It's not about DNA or identity. I want us to hire the right manager for us. For me, that isn't Conte.

I wouldn’t class his Inter side as being the best of the best.
Yeah he bought Lukaku for big money, but he improved a lot of those existing players.
He managed to win the league with Ashley Young haha.

Nothing need to say about "improving existing players" when he made Alonso & Moses the best wing backs in the world at that time.
If you want an Inter Milan example, then Lautaro Matrinez was an obvious example
Completely disagree. Contes the sort of manager who always extracts the best from what he has. Yes he’d demand money but every manager does

He's a manager for financially doped clubs or the likes Barcelona, RM etc.
That's not a beating down of Spurs fans expectations. He wants money, he wants status.
It staggers me that fans think Conte is the right option. Yes we're all pissed off with the players and we love the thought of someone who comes in and ruffles some feathers but that's not the way to go for us, it will end in tears.

Subbing of Lucas has done it for me. Not only did he take off our most direct player, the change was like for like type of player ( but not as good). Bad sub and total lack of tactical imagination, what was he hoping it would achieve? It should have been Le Celso, with two pacey wingers and Son and Kane up front. No idea, I just can’t get behind him or the team anymore. Fucking ridiculous state of affairs that has to lay at the feet of Paritici and/or Levy

That Inter side were certainly among the best Italian sides and good enough to compete for the title.
We've tried "winning" managers who can "take us to the next level" in Santini, Ramos and Jose. They all failed.
Our best managers have been Poch, Jol and Redknapp.
So why fans want us to do the very thing that has never worked out for us I will never know.
Our net spend over the last 3 seasons is £200m, so it's not simply about backing.

Well he has one of the best keepers in the world, serie A's best centre back last season and two of the top attackers in the world in Kane and Son.
Add to them Emersonand reguillion who were considered top full backs before we got hold of them.
A bloke in Holberg who Jose loved so I suspect conte would too, lo celso is brilliant at international level so no reason why a good coach doesn't turn that on for his club, n'dombele is outrageously talented and was considered a top buy when we got him and in skipp someone I think makes the England team within the next 12 months .
Look we seem awful at the moment but don't forget Conte turned Victor moses into a top wing back, brought an ageing Ashley young to Italy and won the title and brought moses along with him.
From what I can see he demands heavy investment in the core which is fair enough but in Lloris, Romero and Kane he has a core so he might see that as a headstart.

The reason Conte is the right manager is because what we really need is somebody with the reputation, personality and authority to stand up to Levy on the footballing side and get these players to buy into his system and have them firing again. The problem is that Levy is never going to hire somebody like that.

To an extent where I believe even Utd aren't interested in him.
