Satoshi Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) The English media really sticking the boot into Conte. If you want a modern day example of xenophobia look how that contrasts with the protection Potter has been getting with a far, far worse record. As for Spurs, there's some amount of dross in their team - Oliver Skipp Vs Sandro Tonali will only ever have one winner.

Bairnardo Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Another trophyless season confirmed for Captain Harold. Superb. PSG over two legs hardly laid a glove on Bayern, and barely even looked like they intended to. If there was ever a chance of them winning The Champions League with this current crop of players, it's gone now. Good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 They had some good times under Pochettino, but since he left Spurs have been rendered completely pointless. Appointing two 'serial winner' type managers to then only achieve nondescript European endeavours is just a massive waste of time. Unless they continue to try and bribe Kane with a Conte/Mourinho-esque manager, you'd imagine the next one will be a longer term guy, but it might be harder for Spurs fans to accept that given how boring it's been for them since the CL final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Barclays team we're talking about, so this can be easily rectified by buying Tonali for £180 million and ruining him in a team full of shitehawks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's achieved exactly what literally anyone with an ounce of footballing knowledge would have expected. Spurs are are basically mid-table fodder with an exceptional centre-forward who fortunately for them appears totally devoid of ambition. If he gets that dismal outfit into the CL spots he'll have done well. Also, not only Potter. Lampard was far worse than either yet still gets a pass for his Chelsea shitshow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conte is a big ticket manager with appointed on an enormous wage to deliver trophies. He's also a pure pragmatist, his style of play is never going to entertain fans and is only therefore going to fly if he's actually successful, which he hasn't been. He has failed miserably, just like Mourinho before him. Potter is a cheaper project manager and although he's obviously out of his depth at Chelsea, he's not going to be judged in the same way given that it's his first big job and he has obviously joined in a very weird period for the club, unlike the decade plus stability at Spurs which Conte walked into. In terms of the comparison of the Spurs and Milan teams, the latter are currently 5th in Serie A and have some incredibly mediocre players themselves. It's hard to argue Spurs don't have a better squad, and it's certainly a far more expensively assembled one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Agreed, I certainly think there is plenty of mediocrity in both squads and that neither will be serious contenders in the competition. Spurs probably do have a better squad (but markedly worse midfield). I don't agree that Potter is particularly cheap. And I certainly think that the fact one is English gets him a huge pass, Johnny Foreigners get the opposite treatment. I still recall the outrage when Southampton sacked Nigel Adkins for the (wildly superior) Pochettino. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 You can't be running around with the likes of Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Richarlison and whoever the f**k Oliver Skipp is, and expect to be taken seriously in the Champions League. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stability in being trophyless also-rans, perhaps. They went through Mourinho and NES quickly enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
