Conte | Spurs Manager
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Lost at home to Southampton and Wolves I think was the main issue. Which I feel is mostly to do with his bench options, Winks is horribly average and Sanchez is a clown of a defender. Both have been at Spurs forever and never really improved, should have been moved on a while ago. Both are only really useful playing in the conference league to give actual players a rest, because that is about their level. And he has had to rely on them both because of injuries.
I will give Royal the benefit of the doubt as new club, culture, language, coach, league, etc.
Conte needs to be given the go ahead to do a serious clear out, think that has started with shipping off Taraabt v2.0(Ndombele), Alli, Lo Celso and Gil.
I mean sitting two points off the top of the league with a game in hand after losing about 180m worth of players is definitely something to brag about, I'm not sure why you think it wouldn't be? For reference we finished second and spent 140m and currently sit 5th, 1 point behind the 4th placed team who happens to have 3 games in hand over us.
Because he was getting slated before that win tonight took them from being sixth in that table. He’s also oversaw them getting knocked out of the FA Cup by a lower league team. He has also been constantly crying in the media about how hard it’s all been. It’s fairly obvious why he’s been getting slated.Why is he getting slated?

No they’re not.Why is he getting slated?

And today was lucky due to a beautiful own goal and a goalkeeper mistake led to a 2 goal lead within 20 mins and then comfortably played their usual counter attacks.
I’m sure he’ll cry in front of media after we defeat them this saturday.
I wish I had your optimism, i'm not looking forward to this game at all.
Lucky? They destroyed Everton. It probably should have been even more.
You just never know which Spurs side is going to turn up.
The dull, lethargic side that got done by Burnley and Middlesbrough. Or the team that done City away from home and smashed Leeds and Everton.
Just a lucky little 5 nil win...
I would actually want to listen from Spurs fans. To me he is doing really well with the players he inherited. 30 points in 16 games is very good.Why is he getting slated?

Spurs fans absolutely love him.
Imagine what he can do if he is backed by the owner and has couple transfer windows to improve the squad.
Yeah but will be back him properly that is every Spurs fan's question. We all believe in Conte but we doubt Levy.
If he's available in the summer we should certainly consider him.
He won't put up with any lack of effort from the players

I think that the first 11 is almost set for next season except for a starting right wing back and a starting left CB to replace Davies. Maybe we can get a press resistant super CM to compete with Hojbjerg too. Conte will probably demand that we replace the squad players with better options - Sanchez, Royal, Bergwijn, Moura, Winks, etc.
As always, Spurs will concentrate on promising players under 25 with resale value should they not work out.
I think we need more for our starting 11 then you do - we need a top class left sided CB, we need a top class central midfielder to partner Bentancur, we need a striker who can play up with Kane or instead of him if injured and we desperately need a new right wing back. So that is 4 new first team players as a minimum. I doubt we will be able to bring all those in this summer so I would prioritise the central midfielder and right wing back first as we are desperately weak in those areas without good back-up whereas we have at least Tanganga and Sanchez (neither good enough) to backup in CB when required.
No.
However, i would have taken him as interim and keane as his assistant to clear the decks of primadonnas.
There is no way Conte is leaving in summer. Levy has not stood in the way and let players go in Jan, including Dele on a free with options. That happens only if Levy is 100% on board with Conte with view to backing him in summer.
The 2 Jan signings Bentancur & Kulusevski, who Conte wanted, have been hits. Even if Spurs dont get CL end of season, I can see Spurs improving the XI and Squad immensely next season. Conte is one of the highest paid manager - its not like Conte has to go to United to get paid. At United, he would inherit a a squad that he has to trim and reshape again. I am not saying Spurs have better squad - just saying he has already done most of the trimming & reshaping at Spurs - cant see him wasting another year to do the same things.
In Romero,Dier, Bentancur, Kane, Son - he seems to have the core of the team. Kulusevski also look super signing. All he needs now, is a LCB, right wing back and a CM who can dictate play.
As for as United, Ten Hag anyway will be better suited - will be more aligned to what Rangnick will want to do
He is putting up with it at Spurs?
we should stay well clear
What he's done at Spurs is an incredible achievement. He's totally turned it round and created a bunch of quality fooballers all playing for the badge, putting themselves over the line and playing for one another. He was available and we didn't get him. Can any fecker understand that?
People need to get off this guys dick.
Seriously? Incredible achievement? They were expected to finish 5th or 6th. They're probably going to finish 5th. They lost the League Cup and the FA Cup. He's lost 5 of their last 11 games in the league. What's incredible about it? I agree he's a good manager and a good appointment. but he's just done an alright job so far.
Yes apparently he wasn't enough of a "nice guy" for the club culture and his style of play wasn't the mythical "United way".
He'll crash and burn.
Just like almost every manager in the modern game does at some point.
Was one of our worst decisions not hiring him
People acting like he would have done anything with our squad. Our players don't give a feck, countless manager changes has proven that.
They wouldn't suddenly start working for Conte. Opposite in fact, they would turn instantly with his demands.

He's a very good manager, doing the best he can with a decent top 6 side. That's it.
I like him and I think he would've got a tune out of this squad stylistically, also depending he was allowed to dip into the market, but long-term ? not convinced.
They might have made more of an effort for him than they’ve put in for Ted Lassoo et al. Still doesn’t make him the right long term appointment.
Seemed to have turned a corner after the poor start. The signing of bentacur and kulsivki has been vital. I remember some fans on here saying that Spurs squad is poor, but obviously that wasn't true. They should be favorite for top four, but their bad start made Arsenal capitalize on that position. The north London derby will be interesting to watch.
Oh, I'm not defending Conte. I'm glad a feck he isn't here.
I would have hired him at United just to watch him completely implode watching these United player's downing tools because he's hurt their fragile feelings.
Would have been utter carnage after a few months.

We are starting to look like a Conte team - we badly need some good recruitment in the summer to get to the level we want to but the two lads we got in the last window have already improved us significantly - a few more players of their quality and we will be a very, very good side.
Their squad is better than ours. We have fewer weak points in our best XI (theoretically) but their best players are streets ahead of hours. Especially up front. And I’d take a strong attack over a strong defence any day. Goals win matches.
Can only agree with that if we end up getting Ten Hag. This season has been one of the worst in living memory, and we had plenty to play for when Ralf came in.
Anyone know where we were in relation to Spurs when Ole was sacked?
Yeah. cos clearly keeping with the mythical BS of the "united way" is better than appointing a proven winner like Conte.
Sure, Conte might ruffle some feathers. But do you really think our club is in such a great state that feathers dont need ruffling??

Fake facts. He’s only list 5 since taking over. And definitely not 5 in the last 11. Actually it’s exactly 4 in the last 17. But they got 35 points form that 17 games run. More than us, despite the fact we’ve only lost 2.
The ranking since he took over.
Kane is equivalent or maybe better than Ronaldo. Son is better than our wide players. Kulsivki is more intelligent than our wide players. I agree their attack is better, but our squad is much better on paper. Midfielder, defense and goalkeeper, we are more potent. Their squad is stronger than Arsenal and they should be top four. They could still get it. They are in good form
