It has to be said that Nuno going isn`t a surprise. I`m pretty sure he`ll be relieved and of course a big cash payout will help!
If Conte signs then I`m afraid, under the current regime, he`ll be following Nuno shortly!
Nuno was 6th/ 7th choice so he never really had a chance to put his stamp on the club. I doubt Conte will either because the man up top will want to do it his way. That`s how he runs the club and always has. I`m not a Spurs fan but I have to admit seeing the way they play, and how they are run makes me feel a lot of sympathy for their fans.
Any top players will be running as fast as they can to avoid signing for them, Kane will leave ( for about a quarter of what he was valued at a couple of months ago) I can`t see things improving much to be honest.
Lots of people seem to know how Levy operates, but it is worth bearing in mind he is little more than hired help, having relatively few shares.
The real power at Spurs lies with the owner, Joe Lewis, about whom little is known not least because he keeps the lowest of profiles.
It is Lewis who will decide if Conte is kept happy, although Levy will again be used as the messenger.
Lots of Spurs fans moan about the 'Levy years', but I'm not one of them.
Levy, or rather Lewis, has facilitated the building of a truly magnificent stadium while at the same time allowing us to spend a fair amount of coin on players.
We also have top notch training facilities, albeit the whole project has come at the expense of a lot of debt.
Despite this, Lewis declined to cash in on Kane, and has now funded the signing of what everyone describes as a member of management royalty.
As always, there are lots of international class players in the first team squad, so while Conte will have his views, I don't think we need a wholesale clear out.
Plenty of reasons to be cheerful-ish for the average Spur.
