Antonio Conte - officially the new coach of THFC

He's quickly becoming the only pundit worth listening to, everyone else just repeats the same nonsense with not one jot of independent thinking.

 

All managers have media obligations that they have to fill

 

Poch had the trust of Levy which is why we bought NDummy, LoCelso (although initially on loan), Sessegnon and Clarke under his watch and tinkled the best part of £140m up the wall in his last window - to go together with all the other failures under his watch.

 

A couple of seasons too late for a squad that needed refreshing a long time before the lethargic decline.

I understand the stadium issue, but the owners had a real gem in pochettino and should have pulled some strings to find the money. A personal loan from uncle Joe would have shut many up on here like me.

 

One thing that doesn’t get mentioned often enough is how unlucky we were to lose peak Wanyama and Dembele to injury, so close together. Can’t think of another team that has happened to. If they’d stayed fit, we might have won the Champions League and still had Poch here, despite the lack of spending in 18/19.

 

Its almost as if Wanyama never existed, he is a loss we have never replaced.
Its no coincidence that our defence has been cack since he was crocked.

 

He was magnificent in his first season for us, the last at old WHL but never came close to that level again. Injuries etc. Anyone know how he’s getting on at Montreal? Apparently he’s still only 30 but I recall a poster on here hinting he was at lest 5 years older than his official age. Wonder if there was any truth in that.

 

Contracted my hole!



He is now banned from his silly solo PR runs in the Italian media.

 

He's an employee of spurs. If they've told him as part of his role he has to do certain interviews. He's contracted to do them. If they tell him he doesn't have to, he doesn't have to.

The contracted to do it came from we are tottenham tv. Not exactly lovers of enic.

 

So all those posts about Conte falling out with Levy ( from the usual subjects) were flimflam, who would have thought.

 

Full pre embargo press conference.

As he said.

I don’t understand why someone wants to create a problem with me. Not only me but in the past. I read stories in the past about this club and it creates a problem with the coach and the chairman. The chairman knows very well my thoughts. If I have to speak with him, I go to speak with him. Sorry but I was a bit disturbed by this situation, especially because I had an interview with the Italian media. It means the club now doesn’t want me to speak to Italian media because the translation was not so clear with my thoughts.

I always say that I'm enjoying my time at Tottenham and the players. I'm always saying this. I repeat.

 

As usual it looks like a case of adding 2+2 and making 5 from the usual suspects.

 

Can but hope that Skipp will develop into a DM capable of filling Wanyama’s big boots and Bentancur will be the heir to Dembele which Ndombele failed to be.

 

Ref Conte's press conference, anyone know who our Covid casualty is?

 

You can tell he’s tinkled off, normally he talks very slowly and softly in English, this was very different, he knew exactly what he wanted to say.

It’s taken the wind out of the media and a few anti Levy fans sails
