My point exactly.
Things ain't changed,levy still holds the purse strings
It would be the same for him now as it was then.
My post wasn't an anti-poch rant
It’s because we are irrelevant
Not used to winning titles, yes. This club is not built for that right now. That is why Conte has lost enthusiasm as the season has gone on. He is used to competing for the title, not fighting for 4th. He told us that even last season. His principles and personality just aren’t suited to a team that is only aiming for 70-75 points.
That’s why managers like Redknapp and Poch have succeeded here while Mourinho and Conte (recently) have struggled. They have expectations that this club simply cannot meet. You ask for a top CB and you are given Joe Rodon or Clement Lenglet.
Saw so many half and half scarves today it was ridiculous.
Certainly doesn’t have a plan B , which is so fucking frustrating
It's important to remember Conte is a short term manager, 1-2 seasons you'll see the best out of him but he needs maximum backing in regards to transfers straight away and he often wants to bring in older players who can do a job which is a problem for a lot of modern English clubs as the board normally only think about profits.
Here at spurs he's been moderately backed but maybe not as much as he would have liked and he's kept his contract short to see how it goes and all signs are he'll walk at the end of this season due to these circumstances not being ideal.

Not going to read back over 80 pages, but I can imagine the tone of the posts.
From my POV, I thought first half we were ok, but we so lack a creative player, it really is dragging us down.
I don't like digging out individuals but Sonny and Hugo did us no favours today.
Also, as far as I am concerned, why make substitutions after 75 minutes, unless they are replacing someone injured or to waste time?
It was so bad that I didn't stay behind to applaud the players, however I didn't resort to booing, although I did feel like it.
And the ref was even more diabolical than usual.
No wonder the pitch is in such good condition, the amount of manure put on it!
I couldn't even get my noodles to console me, it's going to be a long journey home

Do you think he is waiting for THFC? I sure he hasn’t been short of offers But I am not a fan of going back. Love the man and loved the football but I just see tears (happy to be wrong Poch). If nothing else, the revenue from the Amazon series on his return would buy us Hakimi and Gvardiol.
Swings and Roundabouts.
Conte should walk, this isn’t a good fit, he’s a winner and we’re losers from top to bottom
He isn’t blameless himself, playing Lloris when he’s not even a third of the player he was anymore, the whole sticking with Emerson business.
But all in all we are more damaging to him than he is to us, he tried to make us winners but some things are impossible and he’s just ruining his reputation now
This all lies with ENIC, always has and always will

Yes mate if someone had, a half and half scarf when we were younger you would have earnt a slap.
Yep it was a bad one and as you can imagine, we are all playing the blame game. Safe journey Mrs. P.Not going to read back over 80 pages, but I can imagine the tone of the posts.

It’s all down hill from here without huge backing this window. However if he goes what happens next, I will be sad if we appoint Poch and destroy his legacy here.
Yes, I do.
In fact, I think much of the current inertia at the club is down to the fact he likely already has Poch pencilled in for next season.
Both Redknapp and Poch wanted to win the title but couldnt get through the glass ceiling, They got 4th, Conte got 4th if you say they succeeded so as Conte. I cant for the life of me see what sacking him is going to do right now.
BUT according to the football pundits Levy is wonderful, a tough negotiator to deal with, noone gets the better of him etc etc. I just dont see the facts behind the hype. What world beaters has he snatched for a song and yes he got great money for Bale and Modric but I think that had more to do with Bale and Modric. And he defo made an arse of the Kane deal who will probably only fetch half of what City offered for him if they sold this year.
