Cicero Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 This now looks dead in the water as Conte is asking for more wages than Spurs can provide.

I don’t think wages will be why it breaks down. We’ve strangely been fine backing our manager with big wages, Poch and Mourinho were both on big money. Plenty of other reasons why it would fall apart before that.
Cicero Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 - Long term contract. - Project, salary, new signings. - Former Juventus Paratici as new director of football. - Official bid made to Paratici but he’ll decide soon. - Conte has never been close to join Real.
Rick Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 Unless Levy is prepared to open his wallet, I can’t see Conte wanting to take over a Spurs team who are likely going to lose Kane in the next couple of months.

Don’t think Kane gets sold if Conte joins. Conte loves him and I’m sure it would be a condition of him coming.

Depends what Kane thinks about staying. Nothing thus far has suggested Kane would down tools or force through a messy move, but if you’ve got somebody like Levy who a history of going back on his word, then maybe Kane flips out.
DNA Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 Conte hates Chelsea and I think they are still in a legal battle?, I can see this having legs as he’ll be hungry to get on over on them and improve upon his PL legacy which ended a bit tarnished in that final season.

No all that was taken care of. He was paid in full. His most recent interview was last November and he had a lot of positive words about the club and Roman.
Tar-Mairon Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 Conte's not an idiot, if he's coming then either he or Levy have compromised on something. He would be a great appointment.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 3, 2021 I rate Conte, I think he'd get a decent tune out of Spurs in the short-term. The problem is when he wants money to bring in key players, or wants something else to take them to the next level and Levy has to put his hand in his pocket or just doesn't agree. Given the past behaviour of both of these men, you can only seeing it ending in tears if/when they actually do find a sticking point. Interesting appointment from a neutral perspective though if it happens, and I think they could do a lot worse.
Storts Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, shut up said: who would you rather have? Poch honestly, but that’s an emotional thing plus the fact it’s more of a long term appointment. Would be excited by Conte too though. He’s a top 5 manager in the world and to get him to Tottenham would be a massive coup even though all logic suggests it would probably end badly
carefreeluke Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 I think he's overrated but that's not to say he wouldn't be successful at Spurs.

Storts Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 2 minutes ago, shut up said: He's usually been at the best side in the league though. Spurs aren't even top 6 in terms of squad. That’s actually not true. Chelsea finished 10th the season before he won the league. Juve and Inter were not close to winning the title before he took over. You can very much credit those successes to him. There’s weaknesses in our squad but it’s also still very good. Getting sucked into the Mourinho trap where he makes players and teams seem a lot worse than they actually are. There’s plenty for him to work with there if he does get appointed. And you’d assume he will be backed enough for him to agree to join. We shall see, if it happens it’s a very interesting appointment and absolutely one we would be foolish not to make.

I think his record speaks for itself I could write a book on him mate. I'm not saying he isn't a good manager, he is and one of the best around at the moment. However, I really grew to dislike him in his second season with us, nearly sabotaged our season because he wasn't happy with the board and it seems to be a common theme wherever he goes. After being a media darling in his first season with us, I personally thought he was borderline unprofessional the following season so much so with hindsight I wouldn't have been against sacking him. There were a lot of negative vibes that season which were mainly created by Conte himself and the way he acted. He went from being happy, fun, and passionate to a miserable old man, almost similar to Mourinho levels. It was reflected in the football as well, the football became very tedious, conservative, and predictable. Conte has a Premier League trophy and FA Cup to his name for his time at Chelsea but sometimes there's more to something than meets the eye. Although he wasn't the sole cause, we're still trying to clear up some of the mess he left behind.

Storts Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Yeah it’s very much not a long term appointment but when you can’t get the man you want right now (Poch) and one of the best managers in the world currently just falls into your lap, I think it makes a lot of sense
Cicero Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Still adamant to this day that on a coaching aspect, Conte is the best we've ever had. Echoing @carefreeluke thoughts that he can turn into a little bitch when not properly backed. Particularly when he sees his direct rivals strengthening. I can't fathom seeing what Levy could promise Conte that Roman couldn't.

I can't fathom seeing what Levy could promise Conte that Roman couldn't. I mean the latter is definitely a key point. And I do have concerns about what Luke and you say. It’s going to end badly at some point But also he’s a brilliant coach and manager and unlike Mourinho very relevant now. Worth a final role of the dice with this squad and Kane and Son in their prime
Inverted Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 I could see some Spurs players getting a new lease of life in his 3-4-3 or 3-5-2. Spurs seems to have an issue with CBs who are vulnerable in a 4 and full backs who aren’t reliable enough defensively. If he played Doherty - Sanchez - Alderweireld - Davies - Reguilon that already looks much more balanced than what they tend to play now.
Administrator Stan Posted June 3, 2021 Administrator Posted June 3, 2021 I think it's a bit of a stretch to say Alderweireld or Lloris can't be relied on any more - it's players like Dier, Sanchez, Aurier who need replacing much more.
