Thanks for adding that opinion. Always good to have an adult opinion on my childish posting.
Conte | Spurs Manager
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
And that has been the case for Juventus, Inter and Chelsea?
I've seen Chelsea fans on here mentioning the positional play drilled in to the team by Conte still being evident during Tuchels Champions League win.
Spurs have far less talent, especially young to prime talent, than any of those sides. And its not like its been an easy ride for either Chelsea or Inter. In terms of domestic form, Chelsea's last five years is easily the worst stretch of the post-Roman takeover era. Inter regressed last year and now are sitting 7th. Only Juventus really enjoyed a lot of success after Conte's departure and they were just light years ahead of the rest of Serie A at the time in terms of talent and resources to acquire more talent when Allegri took over.
Pretty sure most neutral fans would like both teams to have a proper go at each other. Rather than one team parking the bus.
There's no right way of playing football. But parking the bus, especially if you are a 'big' team is easily the most boring option.
We don't park the bus though. We create a ton a chances every match.
It's bollocks, all of Conte's teams have gone on to be successful within a short period of time after him leaving. It's just a myth that a full rebuild is needed after he leaves.
I'm sure any manager that comes in after Conte leaves would have no use for Perisic/Richarlison/Kulusevski/Romero/Bissouma etc.
What if you dont absorb the pressure and concede a goal?
Think that's why the first goal will be important. Although they've still shown they can come from behind vs Chelsea, so you always need to be on guard.
Maybe another factor will be how unscathed players return from international duty.
We might have a slight advantage here, guys like White, Gabriel, Vieira, Jesus & Martinelli weren't picked, and Zinchenko & Odegaard are nursing injuries so hopefully these guys are a bit fresher. I don't think the theres many of the Spurs potential starting XI who aren't away on international duty, with Lloris and Ben Davies having to pull out with injuries.
Listening to Talksport on the drive into work then and he's being linked with a return to Juventus if they sack Allegri.
No chance.
Conte is Italian. the Juventus job is one of the rolls royce jobs in Italian football. I dont think Conte would leave mid-season but if Juventus offer him the role for the 23-24 season very real chance Conte bids arrivederci to Spurs
Juve is a total mess and he has everything he wants at Spurs. I don't see why he would leave unless he feels he isn't getting backed any longer.
More chance of silverware at Juve.
Conte's family are living in Italy.
There are more variables at play than just football. If Juventus offer him the job I thimk he takes it
Saw the Juve links this morning and wondered if that would be something he would entertain. Does his deal run out at the end of this season?
His wife is from Turin and the family house is still there, since his player days. Of course, a return may always happen but, at this stage, it is a premature rumor for a number of reasons involving both parties. Point is, as long as he does not pen and extend his contract with Spurs formally, rumors will fly. As a Juve fan, I would like to move forward, though… after two possible years with Conte II, will we have Allegri III? It’s a joke, you know.
Pochettino back to Spurs, Conte to Juventus end of season?
I would not be surprised in the slightest if that's how it works out.
Interesting that a lot was made of these supposed Juventus links yet as soon as Conte completely shoots them down and says how happy he is at spurs and that he has no issues signing a new contract there is almost no mention of it.
That's boring, bump the thread when something interesting happens
You're massively overestimating the draw of Tottenham Hostspur.
Did you see his press conference yesterday? I assume you didn't.
I did not but I would not be surprised if a manager declared his love for a club only to leave a couple of months later.
Ok well I guess you are the sort that believes bogus press articles and then discounts what the people involved actually say when they contradict them. That's your choice.

I mean, you're surely not naive enough to believe he would respond anything else, or that it actually means anything long term?
No but I was pointing out the difference between the coverage both were getting.
All I took out of Conte’s press conference is that he’s not going anywhere this season but he’s not ruling out leaving in the summer, including to Juventus. Which is basically what anybody with a brain already knew.
You're talking about these quotes?
And
?
Not exactly pledging himself to Tottenham, why do you feel these should have gotten particular coverage?
Yeah exactly this.
Had I not pointed out that he addressed the rumours I doubt anybody would have even mentioned it Vs several posts at the slightest hint of him leavingYou're talking about these quotes?

Conte wants to win league titles and he knows that he will never be able to do that long term at Spurs. Hopefully Conte is off at the summer and this triggers Kane pushing hard for a move. He will only have one year left next summer, so Spurs may finally be forced to sell.
If I were a spurs fan I'd be insecure.
Spurs are unlikely to challenge for top honours and Conte is doing well and has done quite well at a number of clubs so he's likely to get poached by big clubs when they come knocking.
In addition, another top manager may not take the reigns and their chairman is frugal.

Strange attitude. Passive aggressive post about quotes not being reported in which he basically doesn't commit to Spurs and leaves the door open, which is basically what everyone knows and has been saying, and you're hurt because you were the first to report them?
I get it though! This is a Manchester United forum, why wouldn’t we put more focus on Spurs managers coming and goings…?
Yeah you’re right, if Conte really did want to go back to Juventus he’d have come out in the recent presser and told everyone he’s thinks Tottenham are shit and too small time for his ambitions, but he didn’t so he will probably stay forever.
Passive aggressive? I'm just reporting what he said. Flip me
Well, that went well.
Big game today for him, for Spurs and Arsenal as well.
I don't get why people think they're a shoe-in for top four.
Conte obsessives. They're nothing special. Absolutely drab team to witness.
