what annoyed me with the replay was that because the number of Blues attending was down in the upper tier above us were Spurs fans who bombarded our section with missiles - rages - dippers- spuds are my top 3 hate clubs
 
Conte has been well paid though and with the pay off from Chelsea he isn't going to be short.

The myth about a tough negotiator being a good negotiator is part of their problem. It’s like Trump they have a story where they came out on top but the reality is people don’t want to negotiate with them, no negotiation, no business & that becomes their loss. (& Harry Kanes)

Football journalists always overplay the failure of spending and not succeeding vs the failure of not spending when you could have succeeded.

They just don't understand opportunity cost at all.

Also 5 of the 10 most expensive signings on Spurs books are on loan because they bombed so badly they couldn't even stay at the club as squad players, so they're just bad at spending the money they do spend.

I think you need to take the money out of players and managers assessment in some ways - they will all earn good money they will all retire from the game with more wealth than previous pro's - our world cup winners of 66 all NEEDED jobs not as pundits but real jobs to make ends meet - in cases like this I feel Conte is annoyed that what he was sold and what he was getting in terms of the Spurs project differ so much he if fucking angry. He ad say this coz of his background in work - I am sure Potter would like to say more but can't

While he has a point I don't really feel sorry for him in his current predicament.

It looks like deals are done in isolation rather than strategic squad strengthening. They say how much we paid for Grealish without the consideration of Sterling & Sane leaving & already having Foden. We do that all over the pitch & all over the length of the contract.

No way would Levy spent £100m on Grealish & would have refused to sell Sterling & Sane for anything less. Maybe that’s how you end up with a shit club they hasn’t won anything for 20 years.
