I hope Stellini has some new ideas for this team, and he isn't just seeing out 10 games before he goes as well.

Antonio, thanks for the 4th place finish and I hope you have time to recuperate from the devastating losses in your life and get your health back. COYS!!!!!

Fresh start to the week ahead?
I thought the same. Strange.
Bye bye Conte. That was some dross football served up this season. Last 10 games of last season gave us hope for the future but it did not work out.

Very odd timing and keeping Stellini is even more odd.
Has the club account been hacked?

I guess they’re trying to ‘bury’ it and hope something else takes up the main news, given it’s a pretty embarrassing situation all round.
It was disaster anyway so no change

I didn’t think it was that bad.
But then, that’s three in a row I think were not given long enough. Levy not as patient as I am.
Good luck to the fella, did a hell of a job last season.
I'm expecting lots of Poch chants for the remainder of this season to put pressure on Levy. I cringe at the thought.

Delighted. The handbrake is finally off

Very happy! And happier still that Stellini is the acting manager until the end of the season. We played good stuff under him and he has said in the past that he wants to be a full time manager and this is his chance to impress. So happy to see the back of Conte though. I couldn’t stand that bricker.

Or maybe they needed time to agree the severance package before making the announcement.
Maybe wanted both intl games out of the way so Kane didn’t have to field a thousand questions on it. Although I’m not sure they are that considerate!

I might actually go to some of the games in the run-in now the football will improve, so I'll help this cause.

"Mutual consent" essentially means we won't get sued like Chelsea were!
Clearly this season things haven't gone as well. Contempories dying around Conte, then getting sick himself. Plus last summer's transfer activity. I'd say these two factors were the biggest reason for him going. Which is a shame as there is no doubt, he is a top coach, and given time, and him being settled in the country, he could move us on. We needed last summer to be as good a transfer window as Jan 22 when we singed Bentancur and Kulu. That we spent whatever on Richarlison and Bissouma - logical, good signings - but they haven't helped us to progress as yet, that was a big issue. We weren't able to invest in the defense. And that was a big big big mistake. Spend the Richi and Bissouma money on Gvardiol last summer and we would be having a vastly different conversation now.
Conte leaves Spurs in a much better position - we are 4th ffs. But the issue is a lack of stability now. We need a setup that can build. Where fans and owner have some patience, and that does not look like happening. Who knows even Nuno might have done well should we have given a manager time. You need 3 seasons to build your side. And no manager gets that at the moment.
