This is happening so the quicker you make peace with it the better your lots health will be,
One thing for sure he will make Spurs a pretty decent unit. No way he wins the league with that team but top 4 looks very promising for them now,
Would you take Conte at United?

I just pray on my knees if he doesnt get some kind of trophy the board will understand he cant possibly continue here.
But with his luck he will probably win the FA cup
Spurs in for Jones, Bailly, van de Beek, Martial in January now hopefully.
That might be the silver lining here!
We're a joke
Conte is actually a good manager so he can work with those players and get something out of them... well not Jones, Jones would be injured.
I think that the level below the top 3 is much of a muchness, but Spurs under Conte do now stand a decent chance of emerging from that mediocre pack to claim that 4th spot.
What happened to the “long term contract” mentioned earlier? That’s just over 18 months.
When Chelsea sacked Frank and appointed Tuchel my head was saying we had missed out but my heart was still saying Ole was building something. Knowing how that turned out and now missing out on Conte in similar circumstances but even earlier in the season makes me feel sick. The only thing Ole is building is his bank balance.
Imagine throwing a way a season waiting for Ten Haag, and he turns out to be underwhelming.
That's long term for Conte tbf
Marriage of convenience. Conte wants a job to shop himself around while not being tied down in case Levy pulls his shenanigans again, Spurs likewise for the compensation money.
Of course, Conte had no qualms about walking in the past so the length of the contract doesn't matter.
- Valverde (free)
- Favre (free)
- Gallardo (contract up in december)
- Ten Hag (free in summer 2022)
- Rodgers (has a release clause)
- Gasperini (free in summer 2022)
- Pioli (free in summer 2022)
I honestly don't think Ten Hag is even that high on their list. They probably hope Poch gets the sack at some point (which is realistic, to be fair) or settle for Rodgers. But yeah, we're throwing away a season here.
This could be very bad news for us. A brilliant manager who if he can get Kane focused again will give Spurs a real shot at top 4. This could be another big mistake by us
If we get 2 bad results this week, the meltdown on Saturday
Half of them don't speak English and half of them isn't good enough.
ten Hag extended until 2023.
Depressing. Fack.
It’s kind of crazy that this line up of managers will potentially be in the Premier league:
Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Conte
And we have Ole as manager
Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Conte
And we have Ole as manager
Yep, i forgot he extended this summer.
Depressing , disgusting and sheer incompetence from the club. Deserve every bit of this . Now they will challenge us to top 4 and beat us to it.
Two bad results might be enough to see Ole sacked. The question would be, who on earth could they replace him with that wouldn't equal an immediate writing-off of the season.
With Conte now gone, the Board must be desperately hoping that it's not a decision they are forced to take, because there are no good options anymore.
I never mentioned Ole.
Yeah it’s a good job but nothing particularly amazing IMO, basically what Moyes did with Everton - consistently overachieve versus the budget and expectations. Winning trophies is a completely different things. He had one great season where they got 86 points and a few decent ones where they would hang around 70 points which happened to be enough for a top 3 finish due to lower level of competition (similar to Ole the last two years, won’t be enough this season). The one time they were in title race against Leicester they fell short in a bad fashion which kind of support the argument that he struggles in tight races for trophies (see last year with PSG).
I don’t think you would hire a coach based on him winning a cup with a team whose budget is like 300% of the second biggest club in the country. You have to be a massive Poch lover to consider that a big achievement. Winning domestic trophies with PSG is basically a given, though I would say losing the title to Lille last year is something that puts a stain on his reputation rather than winning the French Cup elevating him to a higher level.
Poch seems to have sort of a cult following around his that does not seem to have a reflection in his achievements as a coach, which are basically non-existent. Conte is on a different planet when it comes to achievements.

The club didn’t want Conte so I don’t get the gushing of tears in this thread, he wasn’t coming here.
Probably four of the five or six best managers in world football.
Will be interesting to see them go head to head.
Outside of Conte we are in caretaker territory with no certainty to have someone decent this summer. But to be fair we knew that last Summer already so nothing changed and we better hope that Ole does the job.
Imagine throwing away 3 for Solksjaer.
The "winning seems not their first priority" is something I can totally believe with this club and Board. How the feck can one justify keeping Ole over getting Conte, especially after we got murdered by Liverpool at OT. You'd think the club and its hierarchy would have more pride than that. Guess we don't.
Can't believe we've let Spurs get Conte. Absolutely pissed, by far the best manager available. Rodgers or Poch will end up coming in and fail again
How can the "senior board figures" not be convinced of Conte, but are happy with Ole? Its just baffling. Who do they think is a better candidate? Rodgers who is a bottler? Pochetino who is struggling at PSG?
What makes you think we’re waiting for Ten Hag? It’s Poch or Rodgers. Most likely Rodgers.
Conte would have been a bad fit at United. We need a boy scout who would be too grateful for the job to even contemplating exposing the incompetence of either the bankers or the club legends who are hired at the club. Thus is why Ole survives everything including years of trophyless seasons and a 5-0 defeat against Liverpool at home
