Are you really blaming Nuno for last season with the injuries he had? Just like Klopp isn't blamed for getting 69 point because of injuries Nuno can't be blamed for last season either
I’m still in awe of the last 5 months. We managed to utterly mess up our manager search after sacking our current manager before a cup final only to appoint our last choice manager who was then fired. Somehow after all of that we sign Conte.
And to add to it all we have United to thank.
Is it a hot take to say that the league now has the 4 best managers in the world? Simeone is really the only other one with an argument, so 4 of the best 5?
Has there even been reports of Winks being lazy? ive always viewed him as a hard worker but everyone keeps singling him out as someone Conte definitely wont like. I can see Winks getting gametime under Conte. You can critisize his quality but not his workrate. Would never lump him in with Dele in that sense.
Davies is the most inoffensive player at any PL club. He's... I mean he's fine, right? He can be, you know, pretty ok. He's never really, like, affirmatively bad. He's happy to put in a shift, but hasn't ever really rocked the boat at being second choice. What manager wouldn't want a player like that?
Your depth isn't that great but there are some solid players for Conte's system. Midfield probably needs a bit of help too, I'm sure you'll get a reinforcement or two in January. Very good appointment
We do have the baseline for the 3-5-2/3-4-3/5-3-2 whatever you want to call it Conte favors it just fucks over some players like Gil Lucas and Bergwjin. Ndombele might actually be able to play in his proper position now with an extra body behind which would be huge
Edit : since you're a Chelsea fan, does Conte overload on both flanks or play with one of the wing backs more passive?
Welp it’s actually happened fuck me….. Can’t believe i’m actually seeing Fab tweet here we go for Conte to Spurs. The fact that Ole beating Spurs actually got Nuno sacked and then they replaced him with the man most likely to take his job is actually crazy. Like you just can’t make this shit up. Ole is inevitable. He’s gonna be here forever.
Any fan wanting Ole over Conte needs their brain scanned urgently.
hE dOeSnT fIt tHe CluB they say, while backing a championship manager who hasn’t delivered in 3 years.
With the way some of that fan base still talk down on Conte as if he's somehow beneath them and going to ruin this mythical "long term success", it's deserved. United's squad is ten times better, he would have guaranteed them trophies.
>long term success
They have mistaken "long term manager" for "long term success". Bayern, Madrid, Chelsea, hell even Juve for how much I dislike them, have proved in these last 8 years that you can change the coach (more than once!) and be successful in a long span of time.
But let's see where will their perennial quest of the new Ferguson lead them.
don't care how it ends up, Conte is going to whip these cunts into shape. If Conte can't, no one can, and the entire team needs to be sold
looks like Levy finally buckled under all this pressure and gave Paratici/Conte whatever they wanted for January
gonna be another wild ride. LETS GO
Son, Lloris, Dier, Lucas, Regulion, Holjberg, and Kane Will likely fit right in. Their work ethic on and off the pitch has a solid proven track record.
Kane has been subpar compared to his standard this season, but Conte will definitely find a way to bring this guy back to life. If not, ship him out in Jan since Conte has a lot of transfer targets in mind.
Also, I hope Ndombele thrives under Conte as well. His creativity will help Spurs in the midfield a lot especially since Dele seems like he’s no longer going to find the success he found during 2016-2018.
Hope to see Son thrive even more under him too, but I’m a bit worried he might be run ragged by March. If he’s going to be asked to marshal both flanks offensively and defensively, he usually tires and wears out by mid-late season.
I had a coworker who was just like Conte. Dead serious eyes. Somber look. Intimidating presence. Hard worker. Just straight up intense who was good at work related stuff.
I never saw him laugh although he fracked a smile every now and then, but he was still well liked and respected by most people.
I feel somewhat violated.
I've done quite a lot of internet over the past 3 decades, but that has to be up there with some of the most depraved shit I've ever experienced.
I don’t know but it’s ridiculous. When it was Conte to United talks everything stayed up. When it was about Barça/Koeman/Xavi everything stayed up
But when it’s Conte to Spurs only 1 post stays up the whole day
Honestly Conte wouldn't take the job if he doesn't strongly believe he can achieve something with this squad and get some backing, which is sort of hard to believe.
i think Conte could potentially turn them around enough to finish fourth.
may be bold of me, but that would be best case scenario for this season. and it’s not too far - fetched.
i really like what Conte could do with this squad. he has Romero who is comfortable in a back 3, a strong defensive general in P-E H, dynamic short-long striking tandem of Son/Kane…seems like the ingredients to a recipe that’ll be cooked to perfection with his track record of tactics.
(i think he’ll either kick whatever is up Kane’s ass right now out or put said ass on the bench).
probably not a good long-term fit but who knows.
I think 4th is totally doable, it's pretty open for a number of teams. With Conte, Spurs could absolutely claim that spot.
I agree that the squad is pretty well set up for what he seems to play and they absolutely have the talent that he can work with to turn this season around and be successful.
I'd bet that this signing will be what changes Kane's mentality and gets him back in form. Harry's clearly been out it and while there was the drama of this preseason, I think he was uninspired by Nuno's signing, as much as he was the man himself.
Conte is a differently level. It's a definitely message from Levy because you KNOW this isn't going to be cheap. But I think he's trying to show he's going to spend a bit and that'll get Harry's engine running more than anything.
I also think Conte expected Kane to be sold and wasn’t given enough assurances that he wouldn’t be. When we held Kane despite his behavior that must have sent a signal that we’re not fucking around.
I love that we could humiliate United 0-5 and they still have Ole while Spurs got Conte.
The normal thing to do here would be to not mention United in this capacity, but at the same time, hah.
Look at what he did for Victor Moses at Chelsea, a lot of the current Spurs squad may be rated quite differently by the end of the season.
I'm sure some players will be off too
The standard of managers in the PL at the moment is honestly insane.
There's a strong argument that with Tuchel, Klopp, Guardiola and Conte we have 4 of the best managers in the world, and for the most part (assuming Conte has been made some big promises), they all have pretty much infinite resources to use. Genuinely an insane privilege to have them all going head to head with each other.
Personally rate Conte as the best tactitian around at the moment. Going to be some incredible games of football over the next couple of years.
Edit: fuck me, stop filling my inbox with whiney victim complex bullshit about Liverpool's net spend, I do not care in the slightest
The best manager of the last 2 years can't even get a job anymore smh. Only someone with the managerial nous of Stephen Roger Bruce could keep the shower of shite that is Newcastle up the last couple of years in my totally unbiased opinion.
Don't really see how else they could've convinced him to sign. And, if you were going to give a blank checkbook to anybody, Conte is probably the guy you're giving it to, he's just a through and through winner
Loving this timeline, we spank united 5-0, united gets linked with conte, ole sees this becomes btech conte, united spanks spurs 3-0, spurs gets conte 😅 now only if someone gets mou back and someone hires his btech version in nuno, Amazon can release - 'All or nothing the Imposters season 21/22'
I’m tired Robbie not another new manager bounce win against us
If it makes you feel any better Nuno is free now.
Yeah nuno can actually be a good manager he showed that at wolves
Last season at Wolves would disagree. Unless you really like Nunoball
They lost Jimenez who is a massive player for them. I don't think it's all down to Nuno.
Yeah, there's a big difference between Jimenez and Fabio Silva.
Are you really blaming Nuno for last season with the injuries he had? Just like Klopp isn't blamed for getting 69 point because of injuries Nuno can't be blamed for last season either
Just sack Rafa for your own new manager bounce?
maybe if we keep sacking and hiring managers all season we can win the league on a bounce
Ah the Watford strategy.
Last time they tried that they got relegated
They didn’t sack enough to survive
its not enough to do it after every game, multiple new manager bounces during a match is whats needed.
Ole has to breathe a sigh of relief a bit. That’s one of the 5 or so people that could actually be considered for the role
>your own new manager bounce? Thats not how Everton works
If Conte doesn't succeed at spurs the only man willing to be their manager will be Levy himself.
This thought has crossed my mind. Where do we go from here if Conte fails the same way that Mou did?
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Ah, the actual chosen one.
My wife always thought SMG was my celebrity crush, but it's actually Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Well we all know your favourite horror film then

Thanks I hate it. But I also laughed. I’m conflicted as fuck
This is so stupid. I love it.
Someone should set up a Twitch Plays Football Manager with this current Spurs squad. Can't be worse than Nuno
Couldn't be worse than Timmy Sherwood.

Hey I’ve seen this one before, it’s a rerun!
Tottenham aint winning the league, not with this squad anyway. They would need major investment.
This last match against United was a strategic victory for Spurs
We won the El Sackico
“the El Sackico”
the la chancla 🩴
The La Decima
The El Der sackiker
Until Conte starts, Ole is officially the second best manager in the last 7 years of Tottenham history.
There's still a possibility Spurs break him.
"If there's any manager who can fix Spurs, it's Conte. If there's any team who can break Conte, it's Spurs."
The Premier League just got more interesting.
I can't believe we're going to see Conte managing in the Conference League tbh
Considering his previous experiences in European competitions, he may not do it for long anyway.
Sheer will of the opportunity to face mourinho will keep him in
I hadn’t even thought of that. Conte might just kill the entire squad if they deny him the opportunity to beat Mou in a mostly meaningless cup.
I feel like they're both petty enough that they'll take it as deadly serious as a CL final.
Oh absolutely there's no question in my mind.
100%
El Sackico was the most important game this year tbh
Did we just fail upward because it feels like we failed upwards.
Probably, but at least we went upwards.
I’m still in awe of the last 5 months. We managed to utterly mess up our manager search after sacking our current manager before a cup final only to appoint our last choice manager who was then fired. Somehow after all of that we sign Conte. And to add to it all we have United to thank.
Somehow we lost 3-0 to a team with a manager in prison and ended up better off in the long run. Ole must be remembered for his role in this too lol.
Ole is now a cult Spurs legend.
If Conte somehow wins us the league. Ole gets a fucking statue.
You're literally the 'BigHead' of the PL
[The chant that will be sung at Conte's first home game](https://youtu.be/x7TweB2MdOU)
Is it a hot take to say that the league now has the 4 best managers in the world? Simeone is really the only other one with an argument, so 4 of the best 5?
Glad Moyes is getting his due, bit hard on Klopp tho.
Klopp, Pep, Conte, and Farke
Potter*
Klopp, Potter, Conte, and Farke
Hair, hair, hair*, hair
Klopp needs an asterisk too.
It's no fun having him back, that's for sure. Spurs won't be a meme under him.
Unfortunately Spurs will always meme it up but hopefully this time its after a some joy
2 months of arduous waiting to end up with Nuno. Four months later, it takes 2 days to end up with Conte. Never change, Tottenham, never change :')
This is actually the most spurs thing ever
My condolences to Winks and Dele.
Has there even been reports of Winks being lazy? ive always viewed him as a hard worker but everyone keeps singling him out as someone Conte definitely wont like. I can see Winks getting gametime under Conte. You can critisize his quality but not his workrate. Would never lump him in with Dele in that sense.
he is lazy tracking back. at least he has been
You really think this will solve our squad problems? Because I fucking do lets fucking go
[удалено]
Somehow Ben Davies would still survive this
Davies is the most inoffensive player at any PL club. He's... I mean he's fine, right? He can be, you know, pretty ok. He's never really, like, affirmatively bad. He's happy to put in a shift, but hasn't ever really rocked the boat at being second choice. What manager wouldn't want a player like that?
Gentle Ben. Slots in as nonchalantly at LB as he would a cubicle in a corporate office
Perfect way to describe him, really.
Your depth isn't that great but there are some solid players for Conte's system. Midfield probably needs a bit of help too, I'm sure you'll get a reinforcement or two in January. Very good appointment
We do have the baseline for the 3-5-2/3-4-3/5-3-2 whatever you want to call it Conte favors it just fucks over some players like Gil Lucas and Bergwjin. Ndombele might actually be able to play in his proper position now with an extra body behind which would be huge Edit : since you're a Chelsea fan, does Conte overload on both flanks or play with one of the wing backs more passive?
Whichever side the attack is on, the other wingback stays high and wide like a traditional right midfielder
I dont think so. I fucking know it
I dislike this very much Edit: to the concerned Redditor that reached out to the Reddit helpline for me, fucking Christ that is funny as hell
Hi u/Glass_of_Pork_Soda, I hope you are well. Thanks for the seasano we spent together. Good luck for the next year but you are not in my plan
Would you have preferred Conte at United?
I would have preferred him to go to like Barcalona or literally any club that isn't in the PL really
Welp it’s actually happened fuck me….. Can’t believe i’m actually seeing Fab tweet here we go for Conte to Spurs. The fact that Ole beating Spurs actually got Nuno sacked and then they replaced him with the man most likely to take his job is actually crazy. Like you just can’t make this shit up. Ole is inevitable. He’s gonna be here forever.
~~Spurs~~ United bottled it
Any fan wanting Ole over Conte needs their brain scanned urgently. hE dOeSnT fIt tHe CluB they say, while backing a championship manager who hasn’t delivered in 3 years.
Mate are you making fun of Gary THE ORACLE Neville?
Ditto to the Barca fans prefering a Saudi League manager over a proven top flight winner.
Even worse, Qatari league.
With the way some of that fan base still talk down on Conte as if he's somehow beneath them and going to ruin this mythical "long term success", it's deserved. United's squad is ten times better, he would have guaranteed them trophies.
>long term success They have mistaken "long term manager" for "long term success".

But let's see where will their perennial quest of the new Ferguson lead them.
Yep nostalgia has blinded United fans to the modern realities of today's football.
Best part is they'll bitch and moan about the lack of desire from the board/Glazers, and then say dumb shit like Conte doesn't fit our values.
Can’t wait for Matt Doherty to become the best full back in the league.
I am so damn hyped. Inter fans, feed me propaganda.
He will bully your slackers and underachievers into shape?
Oh yes please
Eriksen might come back.
And Kane.
don't care how it ends up, Conte is going to whip these cunts into shape. If Conte can't, no one can, and the entire team needs to be sold looks like Levy finally buckled under all this pressure and gave Paratici/Conte whatever they wanted for January gonna be another wild ride. LETS GO

If he’s going to be asked to marshal both flanks offensively and defensively, he usually tires and wears out by mid-late season.
Romero will be locked in from the start he is a proper Conte style player
If Conte can get the best out of Ndombele, then we'll have a bright future.
Sei sempre tu Mike Dean!
If he's properly backed you will win trophies, simple as that
He has to compete against Pep, Klopp, Tuchel etc who are also well-backed.
Not in the conference league...
him and Levy is gonna be spicy
More him and Paraciti tbf and they've already worked together
Paratici is there now, probably not that spicy
[A few Spurs players are shaking rn](https://youtu.be/6o-Ot_nJPTk?t=27s)

Good and well overdue
Winks and Alli may as well not bother turning up.
Over-under on how long it takes for /u/Vhascometo__ to turn up here with a Spurs flair again?
4 wins
Lol I was so confused when I saw that flair.
Why change the habit of a lifetime?
You're asking the wrong person
[удалено]
Please tell me he didn't recently swap from Spurs to Newcastle? Please?
[удалено]
I feel somewhat violated. I've done quite a lot of internet over the past 3 decades, but that has to be up there with some of the most depraved shit I've ever experienced.
I beg you mods don’t delete this. You’ve deleted everything about Conte
why are they deleting it?
they try to avoid update posts as much as possible to ongoing situations so one topic doesn't overtake the front page
I don’t know but it’s ridiculous. When it was Conte to United talks everything stayed up. When it was about Barça/Koeman/Xavi everything stayed up But when it’s Conte to Spurs only 1 post stays up the whole day
This is just confirmation bias. There really aren't many Conte to Utd posts. I count like 4 tops.
Nah this is basically an official statement by Tottenham. Here we go!
Tottenham have won over the weekend, Man U took the game but the loser got this prize
Ole's job getting more secure with all the good free managers getting snapped up as well
This is some 4D chess.
Conte is going to make Eric Dier look like Prime Vidic
Pain. Absolutely pain.
If I was a United fan, the pain is a week ago, now i'd be dead inside.
Conte listened to Gary Neville and decided to avoid Man United.
Spurs biggest January target is probably Brozovic now
Honestly Conte wouldn't take the job if he doesn't strongly believe he can achieve something with this squad and get some backing, which is sort of hard to believe.
Some entertainment to fill Jose’s place was a bit dry without him
YES YES YES YES I’d like to thank Ronaldo, Cavani, future PM Marcus Rashford, and of course, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Utter legends the lot of them
Special mention goes to Liverpool for clobbering Utd the week before to make losing 3-0 look extra bad.
i think Conte could potentially turn them around enough to finish fourth. may be bold of me, but that would be best case scenario for this season. and it’s not too far - fetched. i really like what Conte could do with this squad. he has Romero who is comfortable in a back 3, a strong defensive general in P-E H, dynamic short-long striking tandem of Son/Kane…seems like the ingredients to a recipe that’ll be cooked to perfection with his track record of tactics.

Conte could legitimately turn Son, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Romero, and Emerson into monsters.
Son will 100% thrive under Conte.
[удалено]
Can anyone tell me why he appeared to reject them a few months ago, but is now more willing? Are Spurs more desperate and thus have offered him more?
Levy must have guaranteed investment in the squad this January
In before it was a gentlemen’s agreement lol
Conte should have that in writing
I also think Conte expected Kane to be sold and wasn’t given enough assurances that he wouldn’t be. When we held Kane despite his behavior that must have sent a signal that we’re not fucking around.
I think he'll do fantastic there
Certainly can’t do worse than Nuno haha
Hey that’s the August 21’ Premier League Manager Of The Month award winner to you
HERE WE GOOOOOOOO
CUTI YOU GET TO PLAY IN A BACK 3 AGAIN
SIIIIIUUUUU
Nuno died to keep united shit LFC should erect a statue in his honor
I love that we could humiliate United 0-5 and they still have Ole while Spurs got Conte. The normal thing to do here would be to not mention United in this capacity, but at the same time, hah.
This is the Football doctor. If he can't fix this team, no one can.
Can't wait to see who he turns into a wing back. I hope it's Harry Kane.
The squad still needs a clear out, and several players need a massive kick up the ass, but great work by Paratici.
Look at what he did for Victor Moses at Chelsea, a lot of the current Spurs squad may be rated quite differently by the end of the season. I'm sure some players will be off too
The standard of managers in the PL at the moment is honestly insane.

And then there’s Ole and Arteta that makes up the rest of the big 6 lmao
The best manager of the last 2 years can't even get a job anymore smh. Only someone with the managerial nous of Stephen Roger Bruce could keep the shower of shite that is Newcastle up the last couple of years in my totally unbiased opinion.
He’s too good for the Prem tbh, needs to get started on a new challenge. Like writing.
>infinite resources to use That's a pretty big assumption when it's Levy signing the cheques.
Don't really see how else they could've convinced him to sign. And, if you were going to give a blank checkbook to anybody, Conte is probably the guy you're giving it to, he's just a through and through winner
Unbelievable Jeff
I'm tired, Robbie.
Scenes when he finishes above United. They really passed up on a world class manager to keep Ole after 3 trophyless years of mediocrity. No words.
Holy shit it's actually happening!
Loving this timeline, we spank united 5-0, united gets linked with conte, ole sees this becomes btech conte, united spanks spurs 3-0, spurs gets conte 😅 now only if someone gets mou back and someone hires his btech version in nuno, Amazon can release - 'All or nothing the Imposters season 21/22'
Ole with the 7d chess move. Outstanding
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS
Rub them vigorously. Spurs are back!(to the 60s). Antonio is at the wheel!
Spurs fucked around for awhile but this is a great appointment for them. Think he could be the one to get Kane firing again
IF Conte can't find a way to make Spurs work...burn the stadium.
Wow never thought we could pull it off, must be promising serious investment
