“After three weeks I am starting to understand the situation.
At this moment the level at Tottenham is not so high.
I am happy to stay here but we have to work a lot to improve the quality of the squad.
In other words, give me loads of money to replace this lot or I'm off.
Good luck with that.
Players. Players. Players. Manager distant second in the equation.
No, the progress here is you have a manager good enough to know what the problem is and demand it to be changed, hence to get a better outcome.
Medium managers like Nuno just put up with it because his profile isn't high enough to claim the likes of his squad are not good enough, Conte is.
You not understanding this shows a deficit in your fundamental knowledge of football, your urge for it to be "players vs manager" and one answer is right is your weakness, its obviously both otherwise how do you explain the Wenger or Fergusson years? Utd have had just as much money and talent since but have failed because the managers have not been good enough to get consistent performances, explain Klopp at Liverpool or Tuchel compared to Lampard with the same team.
Your conclusion is trash and easily debunked, the facts are there, clear as day.
Of course the players are important, but a manager picks the players, what Conte is saying is "The players your giving me are no good" something lesser managers wouldn't do.
I knew this would happen the day Conte signed, when I watched the Spurs documentary I could see just how bad their attitudes are at Spurs, I bet Mourhino hated it.
............ hopefully this means a car crash for Spurs as Conte will spend all his time telling these duds some home truth's and making them upset.
