They can rebuild into what they were around 2006 maybe.
Might be some merit in that, Paraticiās work doesnāt seem good. Part of Juventus splitting with Marotta too over the Ronaldo transfer if I recall?

The old man is biased but he wants them to sign Bazunu and did last year too to be fair.

Thats a peak spurs move haha
Conte doesnāt want to be there. He wanted a job back in England but settled for Spurs. Both parties went into this knowing exactly who the other party was.
Conte is an asshole with a track record of success, but demands high spending on prime age players.
Levy has shown an unwillingness to spend in the top bracket on multiple signings over several windows.
This was never going to work without someone drastically changing their approach.
The pain is in the eyes

Itās hard to see what heās really meant to do with Emerson Royal as his main RWB and Dier, Davies, Sanchez as his CB options to partner Romero
Heās had the unfortunate luck of losing key players to injuries and Son basically becoming 2022/23 version of Salah and Sanchez by basically falling off a cliff
But this has the markings of everything Conte doesnāt do as a manager. Theyāre defensively frail with an embarrassingly high number of individual errors. They have no energy as a team and basically barely run without becoming exhausted
And all of this seasons misery is compounded by the fact Conte clearly doesnāt really want to be there. It was clear last season he had one eye on the exit door and this season itās almost like heās ready for his sacking at any moment.

Playing a three at the back, wingback system, fails miserably when your wingbacks are shit.
I have no idea why he hasnāt at least tried to go to a traditional four at the back, and put an extra body in midfield.

Apparently Conte wanted to extend him per the Spurs subreddit.
Maybe he shouldnāt have had them doing double sessions over the summer to the point where photos of players puking circulated?
And yeah some of his players are awful but look at Perisic. That was the one guy he wanted and Levy went to get. He was terrible the other night against City and has been crowding Sonās space in attack whenever he plays.
Wanting to extend Dier isnāt an issue heās absolutely serviceable as a CB bench option. On top of that he actually performed well for Spurs last season when Conte came in so that makes it understandable.
They didnāt back Conte the way his management style required which was predictable and a big reason as to why he didnāt sign for more than 18 months.
Heās a world class coach and one of the best in Europe. But he is a high maintenance and outspoken coach. He has been saying since last season the squad needs major work and is a lot of money off being a title contender.
Conte has always had his teams doing high intense training and double sessions. He did it at Chelsea, Inter, Juve. Itās not new and itās not the reason his Spurs team are woefully inept.
Spurs didnāt back Conte sufficiently but I donāt think thatās the only problem. He had them fully committed and playing out of their skins last spring, they spent over 100m and added six players last summer, and now theyāve gotten much worse.
I think Conte is a little like Mourinho in that he relies heavily on his aura as a huge winner confident of his own success to motivate players to give 110% and buy into his system, which then feeds into his winning track record. Once you puncture the aura and players stop buying in at that level, it can go to shit fast. In this case, Conte punctured his own aura of winnerās swagger by refusing to commit to the project and shit talking the club and that has led to negativity in the fanbase, players not fully buying in, and results spiraling down.

He didnāt want to be there in the first place. All it would have taken is five minutes on google to figure out that Levy wasnāt going to spend in the price range Conte wanted. Heās just as much to blame imo.

Thereās definitely an element of truth to this. Conte always had everyone around him believing in him and being prepared to give 100% at every opportunity. Heās always had a knack for getting so much out of average talent too.
I think Spurs is just a poisoned chalice. Thereās never been a long term plan at Spurs itās always been season by season.
From Jose to Nuno to Conte, with lots of haphazard transfer business in between itās literally no surprises theyāre going nowhere.

Of course he didnāt want to be there. He rejected them multiple times. He then only agreed to arrive on an 18 month contract. Conte is absolutely to blame for not getting the most out of what he has.
