Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[VDV11 Fan]

Exactly.

Finally someone at the club visibly and publicly angry at the shit show Levy presides over.

The fans’ reaction?

“Gosh, this is a bit much. Poor Mr Levy. I hope he gives him a good talking to tomorrow.”

We are a pathetic fanbase, addicted to underperformance and mediocrity.

Why do you have to take a side though as if it's Conte out = Levy in?

I agree with his comments in the press conference but I still think he needs to take some blame and that he's acted in a disgraceful manner the past few months. All the while wishing Enic and Levy sell up.

The fact we are going to offer Lenglet a permanent contract at the end of the season tells you everything about the club. “ he will do”

I honestly don't care if Conte stays or goes. He hasn't been perfect by any means but he ultimately hasn't been the issue at the club.

How many managers do some fans need to see fail before they finally start blaming Levy and some of these players? They are clearly the problem here. Until those issues are resolved this will continue to happen.

Poch called these absolute losers out years ago and for a "painful rebuild" and yet many of the same players remain. That's not on Conte and it won't be on the next manager either when he fails because of Eric Dier and friends.

Many of the same players or some of the same players? After taking out the good ones that any manager would want to keep, there isn't actually that many. It's a fallacy that we dont spend. You can call out Dier, but Perisic has cost us more and that pick was all Conte.

 

[djhotspur]

Sorry, but elite managers don’t go out of the FA cup with a whimper against a makeshift Sheffield side. Levy didn’t bench Harry Kane for a vital game, Levy didn’t play Moura over Danjuma through stubbornness, Levy didn’t continue to play Son despite incredibly poor form etc. etc.

I really do think your obvious dislike for Levy clouds your objectivity at times.

Lol yet he played Brazil’s number 9. He played a RW at RW not a LW shoehorned into RW. Moura has Brazil caps., champions league caps goals etc… I’m sorry but that loss was absolutely on the players. It was a disgrace and one they’ve done for years under multiple managers because they cannot be arsed to turn up against second rate oppo away from home.

This is like politics . I hate both sides

I'm Levy and Conte out. We deserve so much better than this mess.

fact ?

 

[Misfit]

The same problems that have existed at this club through now countless managers/coaches persist.

Everything else is distraction/mere detail.

It's abaaht kulcha innit.

Peri was free… and was coming off an incredible campaign for inter. Yes it’s a mistake but it won’t be one that is still here 7 years later starting every bloody game

 

[nailsy]

Go left field get Mark Robins in doing a great job at Coventry and has done where ever he has been. Need to do something different don’t let poor Poch come back and deal with these dicks and ruin his good name.

I'd only support this appointment if he went out and signed Botman from Newcastle.

There's enough to complain about with this club without making bollocks up mate.

Down to tactics, formation and player selection and thats on the manager!

 

[talkshowhost86]

"So Antonio did you think your tactics were right today?"

"3-5-2"

"Yes but when they started to control the game did you think about making changes?"

"3-5-2"

"But considering..."

"3"

"Would you consider...."

"5"

"But..."

"2"

At least Gary Lineker will be pleased, nobody is talking about his return to MOTD tonight

 

[olliec]

fact ?

I read it somewhere maybe it was bullshit. I hope it was.

Perisic has been awful but he's only been here since June. Dier has been here since 2014 and has been front and center for shit shows like the one today for years now across many different managers. Is it so hard to see the difference between the two?

Be interesting to see what they make of the presser though!

I've never said he isn't in part to blame, never.

 

[Impspur1]

Wonder what comes out after the watershed tonight

Nothing I’d guess… we plod on aimlessly to the end of the season

Do we? There were plenty of fans calling for Jol, Redknapp and Poch out thinking we could do better.

You should always be careful what you wish for.

Look at Leeds. Look at Everton.

 

[chavkev]

We have got to be more realistic and focused on what we are as a club too.

We will never compete for the top players when they are at their peak. Casemiro for instance would never have considered going to us over Manchester United. We lack the wages and the prestige. We get top players by buying them in/bringing them through and developing them. Unfortunately we seem to have stumbled around with a succession of 'get rich quick' style managers and we find ourselves in the current position.

Conte is both right and wrong with his outlook. We cannot be a top side on any sort of regular basis whilst whole countries can buy and run elite football clubs. We may have the occasional season whilst other teams are struggling, but we are broadly going to exist between about 4th and 7th in the Premier league. To Conte this is probably loser talk, whereas in reality that is where we stand against the opposition. We cannot pay Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City wages. We shouldn't even try.

What we need is a club that is attempting to improve everything on the football side and work together with whatever money is available. For that to happen we need Levy to take a back seat and to get the right football people for our needs.
