Surely even the most “grateful” Spurs fan must be fed up with him now. That was absolutely pathetic.
Antonio Conte Sack Watch (Napoli)
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Don't think he'll get sacked yet or maybe even not at all, Levy could just decide to keep him until summer when his contract runs out.
He's in late 2018 Mourinho mode where it's like he's daring the board to sack him.
So glad we didnt go for him. So, so glad.
Spurs are fifth and there aren’t too many managers who’ll get them any higher but it’s clearly an implosion waiting to happen.
He hasn’t got the players to play the 3-4-3 system effectively and although he scored last night, Royle needs to be upgraded as does Dier, Davies and Loris.
He's definitely gone in the summer, but it's fecking mental the amount of money they've spent to try and build a team for his 3 atb system (which not many other managers use) and he's going to feck off after 18 months

One of the many reasons I didn’t want him. Imagine shaping a team in Conte’s horrible vision
Mou is a pussy cat compared to him on "form".
He‘ll leave before they sacked him. I personally think Levy was banking on him to get trophies with what Poch left behind (namely Kane and Son), and adding his own players and it’s backfired somewhat.
Love it, Spurs fans back him to the hill just cause he got them top 4. I am surprised its taken Spurs fans this long to get to even this point. Only until the last week they have started to point fingers at Conte.
Watching Spurs is like De Ja Vu of when we has Jose and got results when we were 1-0 down, it just wasn't sustainable.

You have to feel for Spurs fans really. Going from Poch to Mourinhho and Conte
They kinda deserve it for turning on Poch so quickly.

It isn't looking great for Spurs. Son is not in form, it might be Kane's last season, Perisic is getting on, Lloris seems to be declining rapidly, Richarlison is a dick, and beyond that most of their squad is really quite mediocre (Hojbjerg, Sanchez, Dier, Sessegnon, Emerson, Doherty, etc.) Bentancur and Kulusevski are both decent, but probably not going to be top class. They don't have a lot of good young players in the squad either.
I suppose things can turn, if you look at how Arsenal seem to have emerged magically, but can't see it happening any time soon regardless of who is in charge.

Whoever wins between Chelsea and Liverpool tomorrow will be just 2 points behind them which is mental considering the utterly disastrous seasons both of our teams are having.

I think Harry Maguire in a back 3 would be a perfect upgrade for Spurs, £50m and you can have Harry in January to save Spurs season. We will even throw in Phil Jones as cover.
He's really the only manager of the top 6 clubs to play a more defensive style. Even underperforming Potter has a more progressive ideology.
It will be Tuchel
And he'll be gone again inside 12 months of starting.
Chelsea aren't in the top 6, but your point still stands
His plan might be defensive on paper but most of their games have a lot of goals in them. They scored the 3rd most goals in the league and there are 14 teams with better defensive record than them this season so far.
Much more likely.
As expected if true. They should spend next months searching for proper, progressive modern coach and give him time like Arsenal have given to Arteta.
Give it to Sherwood.
He'll be gone as soon as they go out of CL. Never great when you have lame duck manager just counting down the days until end of the season and he'll probably give a few more grenade interviews.
Knowing Levy he'll probably sack him the day before Spurs play in FA cup SF.

Where next for him?
Back to Italy I reckon.
Spursy..... Typical Spursy..... Help Arsenal by beating City then revert to form, what a club!
Must be really frustrating being a Spurs supporter, knowing that the midfield and defence need a major overhaul. Yet this obsession of Conte to play a 3-4-3 is simply bizarre, he hasn’t anyone on the right to play that formation effectively and the defence is mediocre at best.
Another bad day for the cult of Conte. Been an awful lot of them.
I expected him to do much better honestly.
Especially considering he has been back to strengthen the squad in every area except Strikers (where they didn't need it)

Same with Klopp at Pool, he won't be sacked because Spurs can't get anyone better right now.
Was an odd match, him and Spurs. Time for him to leave
Bullet well and truly dodged. Shows how desperate we were in the last days of Ole’s tenure that there was a clamour for this guy.
Why is he so addicted to a 3-4-3/ 3-52 tactical system?
When do we play them?
Well, game before he will be sacked.
Same thing will happen with Potter.

I have to say, I thought he would do a better job.
He will blame the weak squad but he has persisted with the same underperformers and shown himself to be extremely inflexible with his tactical set-up.
He obviously won’t feel the same way, but I think his reputation definitely takes a hit from this. He should be doing better.

Terribly damning that they won City with him away, then returns and they return to being poor
I still have absolutely no idea why he took this job. His stock was possibly the highest it’s ever been or will be after leading inter to a Serie A title Juventus had won 9 years running. Why go to a club that just doesn’t win trophies ever?
That’s gonna turn into a toxic situation very quickly if he’s a lame duck manager. Going through a rough patch on his way out of the door would lead to players questioning his authority with no fear of long term consequences for themselves. Cant see them reversing fortunes without a change in management.
People are surprised that he isn't doing better, but I'm not sure why?
