Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

[braineclipse]

Been quite hopeful about Conte turning things around. But if this is true we need to move on as soon as a suitable replacement can be signed.

If the Conte story is true then Poch will either be our next manager or I doubt he will ever come back.

 

[El Guepardo]

Only reason I can think of keeping Conte until the end of the season is if QSI or another body are attempting a club takeover. They would likely want their own manager in place and so might prefer the opportunity to make the appointment themselves.

That or Levy doesn’t want to make a pay off to Conte for the remainder of his contract.

 

[Gutter Boy]

He should get it. And a five year contract with assurances that he will get time and full financial backing. Next year will likely be a write off but if he comes in now then maybe this next few months can be more used for the transition period. I can imagine that the crowd will be loving his return and that will help a lot too.

I'm feeling a tinge of excitement about Spurs for the first time since half-time against Bayern.

His daughter is in her last year of school. That's why they stayed in italy.

Yeah
Then she will have uni etc…
His mates have died
And he is showing no fight
Get rid
Start afresh

I wonder if he might try pairing two old boys - Poch with Michael Edwards (as DoF)?

That would be smart business
I’m not convinced Edwards wants back in to football anytime soon though but who knows….

 

[Baleforce]

if we don't show him support with what he's going through right now, how attractive are we to other managers?

he's an employee of the business, he deserves the same support any other employee would get during personal tragedy

 

[tommysvr]

Poch if he fancies it and we back him the right way.

But I’d also love to see what Ange Postecoglu could do.

 

[billyiddo]

Is Di Marzio the one that Paratici leaks through, or is that Fabrizio Romano?

The latter.

Di Marzo is just a Sky Italia flimflam merchant iirc

Doesn't mean he's wrong though

Who says we haven’t shown him support?

 

[Baleforce]

nobody on the club side yet, but if we sack him now, as some fans are advocating, that would be unsupportive imo

 

[mjc23]

Bring back Poch, I want to love watching us play again.

People are suggesting we sack him now only if the story that he wants to leave in the summer is true. If he wants to stay then most people on here will support him.

Although they do seem to have some relationship:

Gallardo would be the one other name on my list, down from Poch

I think that's fine, he's an experienced professional, he's still going to do the best job he can, even if he doesn't want to extend.

Nobody in the club thinks about stuff like that on a day to day basis, its only fans looking for something to worry about.

Galardo could be anything
But he would need a DOF
It looks likely that we will be recruiting both

Players do
Players are always thinking of whose next and what’s around the corner

If he's got serious personal issues, absolutely send him away on compassionate leave and get Mason and Stellini to run things for a month or so.

But if he's just having a bit of a mid-life crisis/feeling homesick - 6 losses from our last 10 is pretty costly for us.
