Looking forward to have Conte in the league. 

The more top coaches the better, more competition. 

Going to be fun

Tottenham strongly want to become Chelsea by taking  former managers, but usually ends up like that

All true and I admire your attitude but not about Antonio at Spurs. Too risky.

Conte will want to spend big, and Levy wont -what could go wrong ?

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Conte at Spurs is much easier to handle than at ManUre from a pure rational perspective but it does itch me a little bit that he would go to a rival despite how much he is still revered by Chelsea fans. Anyway, there is not much loyalty left in footy, esp from managers.

cheers Nuno for beating City tho. Really weird why Levy is so trigger happy now after giving worse managers like Mou, Jol and Ramos years. Might be smth personal behind that as well.

But then he doesn't win as much.

Like Nuno, does well without the massive ego players that populate the 'big' teams but unlikely to get much silverware

Think we are all forgetting a crucial factor, even before taking into considering Conte and Levy butting heads. 

Will the Spurs players want yet another conservative manager?

Spurs must be really desperate and are gonna give in to Conte's demands if the move is really gonna happen this time. Otherwise, what a waste that Conte went from Inter to this.

Nah, a few years ago Conte himself said that Chelsea was a matter of past for him. His connection here was never really going to stop him from doing things.

If Conte makes them win things, doubt they will care. That was the selling point with Mourinho, no?

Glad that we have played Spurs once in the league already this season.

If he was to inter after managed and played for juventus many years, its obvious that he had no problem going to some team

This is the same man who played and managed Juventus and has connection with the club but went on to manage Inter. Are we really surprised that he's willing to go to Spurs?
