Conte taking the Spurs job leads me to believe he’s been told United aren’t interested. Elsewise it really doesn’t make sense.
Our board needs to be thrown into the sea.

Would you take Conte at United?

No and that’s not the most important aspect either, but likewise knowingly making a short term decision has its drawbacks.
Exactly. Also who says that Ten Hag would even want to manage United?
Well, shit.
Sometimes fans need to be cnuts to push the club in the right direction, like Spurs' fans were the other day.
Old Trafford molly-coddled the players and manager after arguably the club's most humiliating defeat in its history.
The board knows it can get away with anything when you can get beat 5-0 at home to Liverpool and the fans don't raise a fuss.
No wonder why the Glazers have been abject failures in a bunch of stuff that the father Malcolm was not involved in. Whatever standards they have in their various properties, they suck. Our whole board needs to be dumped to the bottom of the Marianna Trench.
And, no, I do not believe in long term appointments. This football club needs to understand that the whole game of football has changed and will not come back.
It's not a short apppointment though, unless you consider average as short?
When we eventually get dicked by City on sunday, the board will be left with their pants down realising they dont have any candidates left to hire because they dithered by "backing the manager" and "giving him time". And we will probably overpay and give a bigger salary to Rodgers than Conte to have us play "The united way" and bottle top 4.
If Man Utd fall out of the top 4 or even worse European football, I doubt any top or possible top manager is leaving a top 4 team in another league for the job.
Well in that case City better be on the watch out for us snatching Guardiola, because money is clearly all that matters to managers!!
Conte won’t manage Tottenham, that’s for sure.
Bit surprised he's jumped so quickly at Spurs. I feel like he's better off waiting. They're a mess and you can't take any of Levy's transfer promises at face value.
Could've been us. We're fecked now awesome.
Under their peak form with Poch they were trying to push for a title challenge. But of course they want to push for top 4. They're in a bad spot now, but that's where a top manager can make a difference.
Like how players from CL clubs won't move to Non CL clubs? We have seen that being proven wrong many times.
The only way I see someone like Ten Hag even joining is if VDS and/or Overmars join him. Which isn’t happening
I think we should be patient and see how this plays out. But I do understand fan frustration.
Rodgers now favourite for the United job. This club is a joke.
Good luck with that.
Dont worry we will hire Giggs/Bruce. They have the united DNA. Youth, courage,
Ffs are you for real? Thank god for that? Spurs are getting a class manager, and we are for forced to stick with Ole or hire some caretaker crap in a couple of weeks, and you thank god for it ? Get out
Agreed. Would rather see us appoint a manager that plays attacking football. I was never convinced Conte was the right fit.
Nice try.
We Spurs’ed it.
Ffs. Messing about and end up missing out on a top coach when we almost lucked our way into appointing one who would've had us competing for the title. Ah well.
Hope everyone enjoys not wanting Conte as we finish 5th.
You do realize the caf is not just that 1 person. These are different people.
Pretty much. As cnutish as it may be, Barcelona fans actually showed a template about what fan anger can be all about against a shit manager.
I've been mad towards matchgoing fans a number of times in the last 8 years exactly because they choose to delude themselves instead of EXPRESSING TRUTH for themselves, even if it means asking for a divorce with a manager. There is nothing wrong in asking for a divorce when things can't work anymore; that is how life works. Sometimes I compare Old Trafford to a person who prefers to stay in an abusive marriage rather than kick the abusive spouse out of that person's life.

When people talk about Conte not being a fit for Man Utd because of his style of play, weren't Spurs also known in the past for attacking, flair football?
I'm pretty sure we're just sitting on our hands waiting for the next time Poch gets sacked
Would you take Conte at United?
The only time that Conte is going to be at United, is when he brings Spurs to play against us.

Conte wasn't my first choice for United, but this does take away a quality option for replacing Ole, and more importantly it's another top 6 club with a better manager than ours meaning things become a bit more difficult for us as well. Great.
He will definately improve Spurs. There is alot of competition for that 4th spot now which is a realistic goal for Utd. This will be a nail biting season. I actually hope Ole doesn't get sacked now because there will be nobody decent left to replace him. I will just get behind Ole this season and hope he doesn't screw it up.
You know how it's going to play out, we will end up with Pochettino or worse and only when they are forced to make a move meaning in the middle of next season. I see ten Hag go to Barcelona.
Can a loss be a win?
Spurs fans: Yes, yes it can.
Spurs fans: Yes, yes it can.
Conte to Spurs....
United going to be left with our hands down our pants again.
How many managers do we want in the league that our better than ours?
What a naïve football club.
What's even funnier is Ole now plays Contes formation.

Conte is a world class manager, yes.
However, we need a long term manager. Conte has had 9 teams in 15 years and his longest stay has been 2/3 years. We'd only be looking a replacement in a few years. He'd be great for Utd, no doubt. But it would be a short term fix.

I had gone cold on the thought of Conte succeeding Ole anyway. I don't think it would have been a good fit. More options will become available as the season progresses and if we get four points from our two games this week we are in a decent position.
Conte has shown he isn't afraid of resigning, so if Levi goes back on his promises I doubt that bothers Conte much
While we are messing around wondering whether to sack Ole, they get one of the best managers in...
Spurs will get top four if Conte comes in.

There is that wonderful Viale or Corso (road with trees) in Turin named Corso Vinzaglio, that is where Conte home is, where Ciro Ferrara has his own pizzeria, where a number of cafes both regularly visit are (full of bianconeri photos from the past and the present).
That’s the wisdom this morning: Conte prefers London to Manchester because he was there already, because of his young daughter schools and because of the connections he made while at Chelsea. He is puzzled by United attitude in the sense that they contacted him recently but winning seems not their first priority, so be it. In the end, money at Spurs will be very good, he knows Paratici from his time at Juve and any sensible progress he would make at Spurs will be seen as his own personal merit, further raising his stock.
