Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[spursfan77]

Exactly what’s the worse that could’ve happened if we’d actually attacked and tired to win… oh yea we lose haha so at least let’s try that rather than just don’t attack at all fall asleep and still lose

I am actually starting to hate him.

 

[Jules77]

Conte deserves blame but Levy lapping all this up, he goes under the radar yet again....

how anyone can say Levy is going under the radar is beyond me.

Yet, he's given this manager and Paratici plenty of money recently. I completely agree he isn't perfect. But he doesn't force this style of football on our coach. He doesn't influence Romero's mentality like a coaching staff should. He doesn't work out a way to play with the squad limitations, like a coaching staff should. etc etc

Fire him tomorrow. Or reach some sort of mutual consent. We know he isn't staying. The players know he isn't staying. The board knows he isn't staying. So, why waste another minute with him hanging around? We have 12 games remaining. If he stays, we will finish 7th or 8th. If he goes, probably the same. The difference being, that if we were to immediately hire Poch, at least he'd have a few months with this existing squad to evaluate what works and what doesn't. Then, go into the summer with a clear set of transfer objectives in mind. Otherwise, what the fuck are we doing here? Just spinning our wheels. What's the point?

Just cannot stand our team this season. So ugly to watch. And all the behind the scenes crap with Levy lying his ass off again to another manager. Paratici being in purgatory. Uncle Joe with even less Fs to give than usual. This is a club in utter disarray right now.

Come to think of it, why would Poch come back into Levy's tangled web of epic incompetence and indifference? Not gonna help his reputation in any way, shape, or form. As I keep saying, nothing will ever change until Daniel fucks off. Nothing. Because he is a toxin that has spread it's poisonous roots throughout our beloved club, and turned it into some deformed sports franchise that excels at winning loads of money off the field, and excels at being unsuccessful on the field.

Fuck the lot of 'em.

Same mate which is a shame as he’s tried hard for us but this is what happens with conte.

He needs to go now

How many more managers and situations will it take for Levy to be the issue, the common denominator.

I agree mate, i'm making it unclear. When people say managers belittle us, its because theyve won the lot and we havent.

It's post match interview of CL match and Conte is probably worst manager in the history of competition. Over last 10 years not a single win on knockout stages despite managing Juventus, Chelsea, Inter and us. Over 6 seasons, that is a fucking achievement. Just not a positive one. We got into finals and he usually can't make it past group stages and if he does, can't win any game (or dream of winning a leg) on knockout stages.

 

[chas vs dave]

I've been defending him on here. After that shower, I'm not sure how anyone can.

He isnt doing anyone any favours. Needs to jog on.

Milan have been in the Champions League Quarter finals once in the last 15 years (same as Leicester City) and they are 5th in Serie A and would have been 6th would it not for Juventus getting a points deduction.

It really doesn't matter what happened last season. Son was top scorer in the league last season. You're only as good as the form you are currently in. Milan aren't on top of the world right now. They're nowhere near the best team in the competition, nor the best team in their own league. We're higher in our own league than they are in theirs, and ours is a stronger league.

 

[Jules77]

Emmerson springs to mind but that’s a push

only because he destroyed him first by playing him out of position!!!

 

[muppetman]

Also we all have eyes and saw for ourselves that this is not a Milan side to be particularly fussed about. We should’ve absolutely destroyed them over 2 legs, not go out with a whimper like we did. He’s really trying to annoy us now.

I think that's a bit arrogant tbh - they are a decent CL level side - as we should be, but currently aren't. They played within themselves and could have probably scored another 3 or 4 across the two legs. This isn't a bunch of farmers from the Latvian second division in the Europa Conference thing.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with people having unrealistic expectations or feeling the need to use hyperbole online to get the point across but we really need to be a little bit more humble - we've won fuck all in forever.

To be clear, I think Spurs are underperforming massively but destroy them is way OTT.

 

[YB123]

Very telling not one antonio chant. Match going fans have also had enough

Also very telling not one Levy out or ENIC out chant either...

 

[Stoof]

Fuck him off now. Should have fucked him off in January. Bollocks to them all. They can all fuck off in slightly different directions for slightly different reasons.

No excuse for the manner of the cup exits. He has to own that. And you can’t defend him. We have the squad - the system is bollocks, the football is abject and the match-going experience is worse than when we took the foot off the gas under Ramos after winning the Carling Cup.

Abject. From everyone. But, particularly these last three games, especially Conte.

 

[Spursfan1414]

Really feels that he really doesn’t respect us doesn’t it. Like it’s beneath him to go to work.

He doesn’t respect us. It’s been obvious for months that he’s felt he’s doing us a favour while collecting 15m a year.

I reckon at least 75% of PL coaches could’ve done more with us this season that he has.

Good point he has the cheek to insult us comparing our history to AC Milan even though we made a CL final only a few seasons ago but how about we look at your horrific CL record Antonio ?! Prick

my feelings too

 

[AngryBob]

I dunno, it sounds to me like he is having a dig at Levy, for not being supported in the way he needs for his vision. He's finally realised that he won't get what he need to achieve anything, and for me, he's been waiting to see if Levy and the club are backing up the ambition they have talked about with action, which we all know never happens so he's just like yeah fuck this what's the point. Yes the tactics suck, the philosophy is nonexistent but there's clearly an underlying tension between contes desire to actually win and Levys desire to only finish fourth and milk the cash cow/megabowl. But that doesn't excuse the decision to bring dave Sanchez on for Kulu.

 

[wspur]

Conte seemed like the right choice back then and Levy did all that was possible to get him players like Perisic, Richarlison, even Porro a few weeks back. Yet nothing to show for all the money spent, and players are getting worse.

Conte has NO EXCUSES, this squad is way better than what Mourinho had and the football is somehow worse.

His gallbladder had enough of him and so have we

yep and the shame is that he'll trott off into the sunset believing that none of this was his fault.

Yes destroy them is a bit ridiculous but if we’d attacked and given it a go over both legs I think we have more than enough quality to beat them tbh.

Our approach completely played into their hands and killed our chances.
