Might be a few alterations after that one. A rare outing in a Thursday night for me so they'd better not ruin it....
Potter has been defended by Fullkrug, who claimed that half his teammates shouldn't be there. West Ham fans were singing, "The German's right, you're ****ing ****e", on the weekend.
Right but it was Fabio who pushed for us to hire Conte, which worked out to be the disaster we all predicted from the off.
Depends on how you’d truly define disaster. Got us 4th after half and season and was sacked when we were 4th in the table (albeit heading towards 5th/6th). The football was boring, he was a moany bastard and I wasn’t sad to see him go but I reckon we’re seeing what a true disaster is right now.
Conte was the pre-flop Ange was brought in to perform the Harry Redknapp role of putting an arm around players while have us playing on the front foot again because Conte had demoralised the players that badly - the difference being Redknapp didn't derail the team due to his ego until the England job opened up, while Ange's ego has derailed the team since about October
I liked Conte but he wasn’t the right fit for Spurs as he’s too demanding and is the here and now rather than long term future.
Ain’t just his ego though, he’s just a fish out of water at this level. Even our progress in Europa has been despite of him after he actively made it tough on the squad with his league phase selection. I’ve not enjoyed the football recent managers have had us playing but I don’t think I’ve looked at a Spurs manager and thought “you’re actually pure ****” as much as I have with Postecoglou. It’ll almost be some warped version of Spursy that he actually “oversees” us winning our next trophy.
I liked Conte too, the football wasn't great but it in the first season it was quite effective and he got the best out of the squad that he could. He was broken by events outside football, good friends passing away, and his own illness, a few wretched performances culminating in the Southampton rant and he was gone. But as a coach he is miles ahead of Ange.
Conte got consumed by our lack of winning culture its a Behemoth, much under rated as an entity overlooking our club and his ‘rant’ was justified was sad to see him go
