The only plan we need now is to remove the fella that is stinking out the place asap, as in today.

Levy unfortunately isn't going anywhere :whistle:

So sacked after he does the presser it is then?

Sacked during, just to demonstrate tottenhams professionalism...

How much notice do we have to give the hotel that Conte is staying?
Has Levy thought about any charges being made applicable by Conte ending his stay before the end of his booked period.

Has Levy read booking.com’s term and conditions.

He can ask Romero about booking.com's terms and conditions. Romero is the poster boy for that company.

Yes I am 100% with you on that - but according to many Spurs fans the answer is to sack another manager.

I know it's not popular so no need for anyone to to 'neg' me, but why not give a proven winner the time to assemble his own squad? The ITK's will have a much better idea than me how many of the recruits in the last three windows were Conte picks, but my guess is less than half of them.

He doesn’t want to be here, mate. He’s not signing a new contract. It’s not a choice between back and sack. It’s a choice between wait until the summer or take control of our own destiny now.

That would be brilliant if so mate

It just makes zero sense all round right now keeping him, I suppose it’s just a matter of sorting his pay off and if Levy will do that or if we struggle on.

And if we do move Conte on then can we act quickly and bring in one of the good managers currently out of work or will we fanny around and have Mason in charge until the end of the season.

If we act quickly and decisively and get the right man in the new manager bounce and lift to the crowd alone will probably help push us to stay in 4th place.

Such a dark cloud at the moment, imagine Poch walks through the door for the Forest game or the next home game for example the atmosphere would be incredible.

It would be but that buzz wouldn't last so long.

We need to be absolutely certain about who we appoint because this has to be much more then bringing someone in for the weekend or a quick lift.

Shame he's a bit shit really

He's not shit. Just nowhere near a £60 mil player. And definitely not as a winger.

Most of us said that when we were linked as well.

I’ve been Conte in from the beginning but yesterday it just looks like he’s lost the dressing room. Even players like Richie coming out and saying stuff as well. Losing Bentancur was a huge huge blow.

Getting more than 1 xG over 180 minutes with 3 top drawer attackers in arguably the biggest 2 matches of your reign is not a miracle Antonio.

He's talking like this is everyone's fault but his.

0.60 xg from open play in 2 games, against a poor team and in first game they had one of the worst GKs in top 5 leagues.

What I mean to say is we would have been expected to win the games we won anyway, we didn't pull up any trees. We also got vastly out worked and out played by a couple of very average teams in those 7 games as well. It was no more consistent or better, but people still go on about the fact a new man will/did better.

So many of the same team still exist and are first choice at the club at the moment too.

I think I found us more enjoyable to watch under Mason. But even assuming we were no better under Mason than Mourinho, that doesn't prove Mourinho was doing a good job.

It proves even less that Conte is doing a good job since we have upgraded the squad considerably since then: none of Emerson, Porro, Romero, Lenglet, Perisic, Bentancur, Kulusevski, or Richarlison, Danjuma, or Bissouma was available to Mason or Mourinho. That's hundreds of millions of pounds of new players Conte has had to work with.

But then again, Ben Davies started last night?

I see things are as balanced as expected in here this morning.

I've accepted that Conte leaving is inevitable, and as I said last night, now we're not in any competitions we may as well let him go. Pay him up til the end of his contract, whatever, and let the next manager start building.

Not sure there's any need for claiming he's a **** or a shit manager, though. He demonstrably isn't either, and while he hasn't been a success here on the whole, we clearly have issues which run far deeper than the manager.

agree, the whole club is rotten to its core.
Which is very sad!

Decisive action. Fingers crossed we have a plan but we usually don't.

Poch Disc 2 ... it's been in the drawer for a couple of years

Whose fault is it that we have systemically shipped out every creative player we have bar Deki and refused to buy any others? Conte turned down Maddison, he shipped out Gil for absolutely no reason, he spunked £60m on Richarlison only to use him primarily as a back up to Kulusevski when he's a mid table player at best in that role.

I think if Conte wanted Richy he would have played a lot more

With what he said post game and the Sanchez sub, it almost seems like he's asking to be sacked.

If he goes they will just keep paying him till June. In the great scheme of things that money is nothing. Might as well give it to Ryan Mason again . Can’t be any worse.
I think we are all fed up of him whining on.
strange how he wanted to be back for the Milan game when there is every chance of them looking for a new manager next season. No doubt conversations took place

Agree - putting a defender on for an attacker when youre trying to get a goal is akin to a case for constructive dismal IMO.

I never stated Jose was doing a good job, just that we did no better with someone else at the helm regardless of their pedigree or not.

I've not said Conte is doing a good job either. It is just simply my opinion and was under Jose as well that a new man is not going to get this squad performing, on a results basis, any better than we are now. Aesthetically it might be better but I'm not really fussed if we play nice football but don't win games. Had enough of that Redknapp and Poch.

Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Hojbjerg, Lucas all still exist and 3 of them are starters. 4 of them were no more than backups in 2019..

Always bet on a Romero yellow, it’s free money

Don’t rule out Brendan Rogers next season. He has been in the running before and looks like Leicester has run its course. Bring Maddison with him.

No thankyou!

Hawkey77 · Mar 9, 2023

I am convinced that if he was going before the weekend that would be clear by now, and you wouldn’t have tweets like the one just now from the club with Harry talking about last night. What I fail to understand is how on earth any sane person can think that’s the right course of action? If we wait till the international break we could be 6 more points adrift of 4th. The time is now. Not Monday, or two weeks. NOW. NOW. NOW.
