Totally caught up in the potential joys of Conte, can’t stop singing his name to this ?

I've never watched American Dad or seen this clip. Now, when I should be working I can't stop singing this! Both my boys who've never seen it either have left for school singing it too!!!

As much as it will stick in many people's throats, Daniel Levy deserves a bit of credit for finally waking up and smelling the coffee and getting this done. He's now hired a DoF and a manager that most of the fanbase have been crying out for. Paratici and Conte have worked well together in the past so there's reason to have a bit of hope. I seriously thought Newcastle would throw the kitchen sink at getting Conte.
I am not counting chickens!!! until it is signed sealed and delivered. Too often we have been shat on at the last minute, I would not be surprised if Cheatski put in their oar and offer him second team management or manure to highjack proceedings .
Still what will be will be. Come on you Conte Spurs

Paratici as DoF, Conte as manager, home grown player is England captain and (hopefully) soon to break both Greaves Spurs scoring record and England's scoring record, a brand spanking new 62,000 state of the art best stadium in the world (which generates more revenue than any other stadium in world football), the best training complex in world football. If I'd told you this 10 years ago you would not have believed me.

And yet Levy has really make some spectacular fuck ups in the last 3 years.

Getting Paratici and Conte buys him some time in my eyes, but if he now does not invest seriously in the first team (not just one January window but continuously every summer window moving forwards) then he has to go.

Regardless of Conte, the problems are still there in that side, and will be a constant in the background over the next 18mths.

Interim until they get Rodgers, maybe Zidane?

Surprised so many tout Rodgers for the Man U job when he is an ex-Liverpool manager. Do not think replacing OGS with Rodgers would go down well with Man U fans.

I will give credit to levy when ...

He signs the players Conte asks for
Ships out the players Conte doesn't want at the club
Stops meddling in football matters
Let's Paratici work unhindered


Give him credit for the Nono fiasco when he could and should have hired Conte in the summer, saving millions in severence pay, yet again?

Nah, no credit, not yet

He has to earn it

Man I’d love to see the dressing room after that first training session ends...

Winksy with a front tooth missing, Dele with a dreadlock torn out, Dier rocking backwards and forwards muttering something in Portuguese.

They would take Klopp in a heartbeat if they could, don't think it matters that much.

Respect to Levy for acting decisively on this occasion
You have got to be fucking kidding. Respect for finally doing something he should have done in the first place to rectify a situation he created, that had been 4 years in the oven? For doing something largely driven, not by footballing concerns, but to save his head being carried out of the stadium by the fans on a pike? He's shot his bolt now. :D

Look at what this club and fans has had to go through before he was forced into finally taking the right course of action. Credit? Respect? Fuck that.

Anyone else feeling a bit of nostalgia for daddy? Don't give in to it. This is exactly how he gets away with it, exactly how he hoodwinks people. He's not going to magically become football wise. The only acceptable end game where he's concerned is for him to fuck off.

Doherty being carried to his car on a stretcher and then just dropped by the driver's door.

I'm not a Conte fan he would never be my first choice, But someone made a comment that when he leaves a club they are always in better shape than when he joined, and that a very valid comment. Also we are in danger of sinking without a trace so we need to do something very quickly if we want to remain relevant. Really hoping this works out and we recover some of this season. I just wish the board would be more proactive and not always leave everything until we are on the verge of a disaster before they make the big decisions.

As much as Levy infuriates me at times and this was possibly in desperation...

This appointment along with the funds that would have to have been promised to strengthen the squad is the biggest show of intent (in terms of the of the football team) I have seen in my life time. A world class manager at the peak of their powers.

I'm excited.

This has to be your most positive post in years shelfboy68, welcome back to the light.?
Well I do feel confident for the first time in ages that this could be the moment to drive us forward, the real shame is that it has taken all this shit to get this moment which should of happened in the summer but the future is bright.
