    Poor old Non Spirito thrown out the door quicker than a bacon sandwich at a barmitszah. Now the Spuds are to try their luck with a fourth ex Chelsea manager, Conte signed a 12 week contract at three point lane earlier today and is said to be looking at rental property in Hackney.

    Lots of people talking about Antonio Conte being a winner. This is Tottenham though. If Usain Bolt had been wearing a Spurs shirt in the 100m final in Beijing, he would’ve finished fourth.

    I'm of the impression that Spurs players need a good kick up the backside. I've never been one for subscribing to pampered players, regardless of who they are, nor do I subscribe to the mentality of fans favourites. For me it's simple, step up or fook off. If Conte has that mentality then it's probably what they need. I hope he has that strength of mentality to face off Kane, regardless if he is Levy's purse. As much as I will always support managers such as Ole, Bruce and Nuno, sometimes players need the more ruthless managers, if Conte is not that, then Spurs have fooked up.

    Does help a manager with deep oilwells to subsidise buying the rest of UEFA,don't you think. Chelseas have won a few things this way...and still keep changing their managers. I have to laugh buying a cuckoo for all that money.
    p.s. I wonder if the United manager has a photo of Ronaldo on his bedroom wall as his job saver?

    This is a big challenge. A big, big challenge. I know very well that this club is not winning for many years - Conte

    The reality hits <laugh>

    Sure does! As I've said before ,when we are good we are the best. When we are bad......holy crap!!!
    Other teams have had choppers in their defence to win things.I think our defences over the years have taken Fred Astaire to heart!

    At least Conte didn’t play any first team players hoping to stay pad and rested them for the weekend

    What is it with the Spuds in Europe? A new low embarrassing loss against Slovenian pipe fitters & white van drivers. How Poncettino must be laughing his cock off. <laugh>

    Good result for Spurs. This confirms my opinion of todays players. Don't care and overpaid. So sack the ****ing lot and get some hungry players in from the Baltic States or the lower leagues. Your move Levy!

    I agree, he’s not known for being a shy boy when it comes to making demands for player reinforcements. His short contract kind of reflects that, from both sides imo.

    Funny. He's found out what the fans have been saying for a while now.Time to put his boot up their butts or get rid of them.But that's easy. He hasn't the dough to buy everyone like Liverpool,City,United and Chelsea......but start with that bloody defence!........as West Ham and Arsenal are proving.

    Levy spelt it out the other day when he said that Spurs need to improve the coaching and the fitness and that conte would promote players from the youth team. He’s shelled out £400m since they opened the new stadium, so he obvs thinks he’s invested enough to warrant some returns.

    Conte has been brought in to kick them up the arse basically to see if he can get anymore out of them, but the reality it seems has even taken him by surprise
