How long he sticks there - even if he does well - is anyone's guess; this just reeks of another Jose (with obviously less sociopathic personality issues than Jose has) situation. They can promise him money to spend - initially - but it's almost assuredly to come at the expense of a Kane sale in order to stock that kiddy. I still think Nuno's biggest fault with Spurs was that he tried to go against what worked for him in the past, with Wolves and before, and pressed doing the bully-ball club that Tottenham only have been in the bloated fantasies of the media that continue to want to build them up.

PARROTHEAD Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I dont know if Nuno got enough time to really do anything. He was trying to change everything. Didnt they run a 5-2-3 last match? If they have someone in mind. Then go ahead and pull the plug. But Nuno has won matches in the Prem with a crap team. A team that cost over double should produce something under him. But they look clueless out there, maybe it is the huge adjustment in what he wants out on the field. At least kept him till break. Oh well. At least hes not at Palace. Whom with their new coach have the 2nd least losses and no-loss streak. 🤴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Ron Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Imagine having a free choice of teams to support and going for Crystal Palace. Bit like choosing the Browns I guess. (I jest. More like opting for the Bears or the Lions) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does look like it. I'm surprised. He must have been given some assurances from Spurs' board. He comes with his 'demands'. He's won trophies wherever he has gone. For me, it's a great signing from Spurs - IF they give him what he asks for. He's going to want a good striker, hard working wing backs and midfielders. They don't have much in place for him if you consider Kane has downed tools. Interesting to have Conte back in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't compete with Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and at some point Newcastle. The best they can hope for is to battle for 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just when I watched Green Street Hooligans and thought, "This West Ham team... Hmm..." I discovered Karen Brady and swam across the river.

Yeah, I just look at the state of Spurs side and I don't think we can fairly project Conte to come in and do the sort of turnaround he's done with the likes of Inter and Chelsea. For one, the cogs for him to run the similar 3-5-2 that we've grown recently accustom to seeing him deploy, well... those are there at Spurs. Regulon and Emerson are fullback - very much fullbacks - not wingbacks and not exactly in-form FB's at that. Just because Kane and Son are of similar builds to Lukaku and Lotaro Martinez doesn't mean that they're comparable player types; likely Son more than Kane, but the point remains. And he's going to have to sell in order to buy with the stadium debt that has to be accounted for by Levy. I'm going to bet we see him return to the 4-2-4, and I'd set the odds at right around 50:50 that he just up and moves on to another job (or at least that that's his "hedged bet" right now) in 18 mos when the contract he just signed is up.

Oregon Ducks Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Conte is a tremendous hiring by Spurs. He is too good for them if we’re honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @Mega Ron is anything like me and my family - generations of family coming from the East end of London, West Ham heartland. It wasn't a choice.
