Why the fuck would he leave us for Tottenham! They’re a fucking riot and he won’t get the budget nor will he get the players as they’ll try to be stingy and will get shut down…again!!
Conte didn't leave us for Tottenham. Conte left Inter coz Suning changed the project and wanted to downsize. I don't think anyone can blame him for leaving. At this stage of his career, he wants to be part of ambitious projects who want to improve, not ones who want to downsize. Tottenham had nothing to do with his leaving Inter.
Why he agreed to join Tottenham, we can only guess. I suspect he has been promised budgets to build an ambitious project, just like he was when he joined Inter. I also guess its something to do with lack of better alternatives, after he realised that Man Utd aren't sacking Ole anytime soon. Between Tottenham & Newcastle, I am not surprised he choose Spurs.
While I get the feeling that Conte is maturing as a manager, he is not as volatile, this will probably be tested at Spurs. The problem for Conte is that to get the really top jobs, he needs to prove that he has matured and is more stable ie put his rage-quits of Juve & Chelsea behind him. Which means he cannot do a rage quit at Spurs, he needs to stay there until a top club poaches him. That will be a tough ask, coz whatever budgets Levy has promised him is not worth the cost of the paper it is written on - Levy is a miserable bastard and he will revert to type. This is going to be a good test of Conte's sanity, apart from his coaching skills to uplift those dejected, demoralised players at Spurs.
