Mustn't hype myself up about these rumours, can't take more Spurs-related let downs this year.
It's going to be Eddie Howe and a new contract for Sissoko isn't it?

Conte led Siena to promotion from Serie B more recently than Jose last won the Champions League.
Best right now?
He's one of the best around regardless. Top 5 managers in the world easy, maybe even top 3.
So AI robots , nice
Fucking Romano and all these other cunts on Twatter are just throwing every possible prediction out there every day.
They have no source, no information, they're just throwing shit until something stick.
They'll more than likely delete all the incorrect tweets once it's sorted.
It's PSG that wants the manager to force his move, so they don't have to pay out his bonuses.
If Poch comes to us it will cost us to buy him out regardless of whether he's escorted off the premises by security or goes with blessing.
Honestly I would be over the moon if we appointed Conte but he would need to be backed in the market as well, which we know won't happen.
I think he's fantastic. Just afraid it won't work here because of Levy's policies.
I agree but I’ve a bad feeling this is a leak to just get PSG to the table to talk about Poch.
Yep I agree with you mate, the two aren't mutually exclusive though.
He would be a great get for us to at least have a proper crack at winning, obviously we can't trust Levy to back him but just gotta pray.
Nah, Romano is reliable.
Really not sure on Conte. Good manager but as ever its about the fit and i can't see that on any level. Like Mourinho, to keep things happy he is going to have to win a shit load of games.
Throw Pep in and it’s a deal.
In the same way people were buying the other day that Poch has Levy by the balls and is able to insist on more control (contractually?) before accepting the job - the same must apply to Conte
Conte is very much predictable. He demands maximum effort from every single person at the club. He has extremely high standards and in that sense he is like Mourinho, but unlike Mourinho he is still capable of managing modern players. He is more likely to direct his rage towards executives within the club than his own players.
Conte has shown during his career as a manager that when supported by his board, he can deliver success. Even when he doesn't get everything he wants, he can still deliver. The man won leagues with Victor Moses and Ashley Young in his starting XI for gods sake.
Levy knows he owes a lot to the fans after the shit show of the last 2 seasons.
Conte coming would require backing, and if Levy wants us to be competing again he has to back the manager, not just hope the same squad who have achieved fuck all will suddenly achieve greatness.
Kane leaving is a real possibility, and instead of having Levy and Hitchen in charge of replacements, let Conte do it. He knows how to build title winning teams.

Jose is a spent force. “The Special One” and the guy we got are not the same manager.
Conte's transfer demands were enough to break down a relationship with Chelsea immediately after winning a title. The problem isn't going to just be Levy if this happens.
And if Conte is convinced that somehow things would be different at Spurs than literally every other top-level club he has been at, I am not quite sure if he is in his right mind.

If Levy wanted Poch that badly, we would have him already imo, this just stinks of Levy penny pinching like he always fucking does.
Look how quick Madrid scooped up Ancelotti, no hype, no dragging, they just paid what needed paying and got him.
Why is it always us that drags these deals out? Why does it take us WEEKS to get players, WEEKS to get managers?
PSG want him to force the move because Levy won't pay them what they want to release him and why shouldn't he have to? If he wants the man that bad then that's how it goes in football.
But like always Levy does "what's best for the club" (what's best for ENIC) and leaves everything up in the air until he gets what he wants.
I mean it's redundant at this point, we have seen it happen time and time again and we all know that Levy doesn't give a singular fuck about the supporters, his actions over the last few months have proven that beyond doubt so why would it be any different here?
I don't trust him, he's a snake.
