He sort of saying that Spurs need 10 new players to compete again. Déjà vu. When did we hear that before?

For Last Man Standing you have until the 16th August to submit your predictions. Submissions will be open for the next 20 days, 14 hours, 1 minute, 9 seconds, and will close on Aug 16, 2024 at 20:00.
Bonus: for fans of Odds or Evens, the thread will be going up mid-August with a deadline for after the transfer window shuts.
I think he will likely be sacked/leave this week following that interview. We might still get top 4 who knows but everything he said I agree with and we need a total change at the top of the club.
Stop just making stuff up - it makes your entire argument null and void instantly.
Conte just wants to get sacked and walk away with a big payday
It's about time people realise all top managers are narcissistic egomaniacs. It's not a profession where shrinking violets succeed.
Pep, Klopp, Mou, Fergie are/were all total egomaniacs and self serving pricks which is why they got to the top. They just express themselves differently.
If you're too nice and sentimental you end up as a Pochettino.

There must be some sort of legislation regarding actively trying to get sacked for the payoff? He's obviously sick of it but Spurs are in with a shot of CL football. Burning the club's house down for a few extra mill isn't a great look.
Is Conte on any of their level, though? They talked the talk and walked the walk with European success to show for it. Conte doesn't have that pedigree.
Until he starts picking Lloris upfront and Kane on the bench, that's impossible to prove.
Yeah, if history shows anything, the manager will leave, the players will start playing for the new manager (for a month or two) then slack off and the process will be repeated.
Life of a millionaire footballer.
More so then.
To be fair, it's not about being true or not, you just don't say this type of stuff. I agreed with Jose on virtually everything, he was still rightfully sacked. I'm sure Ten Hag is pissed about a lot of things, but there's a reason you don't make these kinds of comments as a manager.
It's just the final stages playing out that were always going to happen when you hire Conte.
Shudder to think this could have been us.

I agree with your overall point.
However, they’re not egomaniacs - they’re psychopaths.
I think it should be said more. Levy needs called out as do the players. It's not good enough.

Didn't have a problem with his reaction either. They threw away a 2 goal lead against the worst team in the league, and Spurs have a history of collapsing.
You simply don't call out your employer publicly
Have always loved Conte's passion.
He is not excusing himself either.
Bet a lot of Spurs fans agree with him because they are as mad as he is.
Levy will sack him.
But he needs to take a good hard look at himself.

He may want to be sacked but he's speaking from the heart from what I can see.
He’s telling the truth and people are shocked because they’re not used to this.
He’s missed a lot of games right? Or am I imagining that?
He’s had 9 starts all season thats a huge amount I do apologise….
This is what happens when you hire a manager without thinking through what he'll ask for, and without planning to match his expectations.
He's right about everything he said in that press conference.

Antonio Conte rejected Tottenham in the summer. Why did he accept their offer afterwards when it is clear that he had doubts about their project from the beginning. Yeah the money in his contract are good but still i have no doubt he knew how the things are gonna unfold in time..
He's been injured for large parts of the season. You conveniently ignored that.
How does it help Spurs now?
If it helps with Levy fecking off then I'm all for it
Bullet dodged...for United, that is.
Broken man at at broken club.
That has to be the most rogue press conference I've seen
Remarkable comments. He's absolutely furious
The guy is a good manager but a total prat.
So who's responsibility is it to create a team from individuals, Antonio? Is that Daniel Levy's job?
Is it Daniel Levy's fault you've spent the best part of 200 million net over the last couple of seasons and then complain about no improvement? So when you ask for money for the team does it not come with a condition you take that and actually do your job...improve the team and foster a team spirit?
The guy has some balls to be firing at the owners and throwing out that they haven't won anything when they've given you a great stadium to play at, great facilities, backing in the market. Why do you think they brought in Antonio Conte if not to reverse that situation...did they bring you in to point out the obvious I wonder.
Total self serving idiocy. I mean it's kinda smart in that there's a large section of the support that hate the ownership, so it's the perfect shield to protect against his own inadequacy. Unfortunately it's wholly transparent.

so you do or don’t like conte?
My type of manager
for the opposition clubs
for the opposition clubsBeen on the bench a lot too hasn’t he to the point where he went public complaining.
Not sure why you called out my post in all honesty, if you’re trying to tell me he’s been starting for Spurs whilst at the same time trying to call me a liar we’ll leave it here because it’s a pointless conversation
Oh boy. He’s gone full nuclear
fecking hell, IMAGINE if he replace Solskjaer, though? Looking at him getting angry while still sitting 4th, what would be have been like last year?
When managers do that (the press conference), they always end up looking worse after it. He's right though but there's no win win in that situation because it also reflects back to himself. It serves no purpose when it's said during a season, it just adds fuel to the negativity/circus.
He's done, they'll bring in Poch.

If every manager, staff member and player told the truth publicly about everything going on behind the scenes, in the dressing room, about what they think of their owners/board/manager/players, all of them would be sacked on the spot.
Conte is doing it as he can’t wait to be sacked and get his big paycheque. Absolutely no idea why people find this kind of behaviour acceptable, good or honourable at all.

He hates it there so much my God
Yet some people would have chosen Conte instead of ten Hag.
Incredible that Spurs interviewed ten Hag and end up choosing Conte. He's Mourinho's level of toxic on steroids.
