Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[bat-chain]

Who is he attacking?

I can’t quite grasp who he's going after.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

At least Mourinho had a bit of fucking class.

Said no one, ever...

 

[SpursSince1980]

Bye.

No matter if he is speaking truth to power, you don’t throw the players and owner under the bus.

Toxic.

 

[Albertbarich]

So I guess he will retract his comments about fans being impatient as maybe we're right to be pissed off if we use his own words today against him.

 

[George94]

Not going to lie - I actually feel better now, reading Conte's comments than I did post-match...its like he has been freed.

It's certainly more entertaining than the football he has us playing

 

[Mr Pink]

Make this stop

 

[DiVaio]

All of this and not even one sentence when he blames himself hahah

 

[philll]

What do we think the chances are that he’s sacked after those comments? Above 50%?

I'd say his position became instantly untenable based just on those comments.

 

[rossdapep]

Who is he attacking?

I can’t quite grasp who he's going after.

I think he's attacking anyone he can to remove the majority of blame from him as to why he's failed.

It's just he's right with some of it.

 

[Wadec]

Not going to lie - I actually feel better now, reading Conte's comments than I did post-match...its like he has been freed.

I agree, he will go we all know it. But I'd rather he does it firing shots at the main issue we have at the club.

 

[EssexSH27]

I can’t see how anyone is motivated to play for him. He’s a toxic person

 

[Johnny J]

Yep can't wait for the next manager to say Dier could be world class and Sanchez cost £40m, and Milan wanted Tanganga for £20m so he must be good

Levy just holds onto players forever. I get we don't want to be a selling club but every single club sells when the money's right and they can reinvest. Does anyone think we were better off keeping Dier, Alli, Moura?

 

[Oscar22]

He literally becomes more of a hypocrite everytime he speaks.

One thing at the club he has improved?
One thing you look at that shows he’s earned his massive wage?

one…?

 

[chrisd2k]

Hes right, we will sack a Top Manager fighting for 4th to hire a new Manager and fight for 4th.

Nothing will change with Levy at the helm.

Let's deal with one problem at a time. We have more than one issue. What's the point of this statement?

 

[Hercules]

And you (Levy) going to keep him after this. Let me not swear.

 

[only1waddle]

A bit staggered how many are supporting our manager coming out and saying “you are a small team” but I guess I’ve never really been into submissive roleplay.

He’s not doing it to help. He’s doing it to absolve himself.

Of course he's doing it to absolve himself, but he's also saying what a number of fans have felt for ages about the owners.

 

[Tottenhamboy85]

He’s right but he’s also deflecting all responsibility away from himself as per usual.

He cannot continue

 

[muppetman]

I don't think he survives this, even though I agree with some of what he says. BUT why didn't he mix it up, drop players to the bench, play some kids, try different tactics - ANYTHING?!?!??!

 

[rossdapep]

He's probably already got his flight booked to go home haha

Probably booked it at HT

Justice for Jol

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Then why is he making excuses?

So true! He’s made excuses the whole time so he can’t have it both ways, there is no doubt about it that the uncertainty of Conte’s future has effect the players and fans from day 1, i think if he’d signed an extension after the World Cup our 2nd half of the season could’ve been very different and a man of his experience in football should understand the impact that stability can have on players and a club.
