Antonio Conte: Tottenham’s position was untenable and the club is not cut out to win, says Jamie Redknapp | Soccer News

Sky Sports activities’ Jamie Redknapp says Antonio Conte’s place as Tottenham supervisor was untenable, the membership usually are not “constructed to win” and Harry Kane might go away this summer time.

Talking after Conte left on Sunday night time, Redknapp – who spent three years at Spurs as a participant – mentioned the supervisor’s place had been “untenable” since he launched his now notorious rant towards his gamers after that they threw away a two-goal lead to attract 3-3 at struggling Southampton earlier than the worldwide break.

Redknapp additionally explains why he thinks Tottenham might by no means compete for trophies below Daniel Levy, the chairman, whereas explaining why Kane would possibly consider this summer time is the time to lastly transfer away from north London.

Conte’s place was untenable

I mentioned after the sport towards Southampton that Antonio Conte’s place was turning into untenable. Not a lot among the many gamers as a result of numerous what he mentioned he already mentioned to the gamers.

I believe it was extra when he was speaking about membership tradition and the final 15 years. He cannot discuss concerning the gamers as a result of these gamers have not been round that lengthy – you possibly can’t actually blame them.

However when he mentioned what he mentioned, I believe his place grew to become untenable with the homeowners.

With 10 video games to play they need to have gotten by however they determined to go together with what they already had on the membership and never somebody like Mauricio Pochettino.

What that tells you is that Daniel Levy does not actually assume he is the precise match for the membership going ahead.

Conte leaves nice information for the primary 4 rivals

If Conte hadn’t had that drawback, Spurs would in all probability keep within the prime 4, sure. However Newcastle, Liverpool and anybody within the prime 4 I am positive will love this information.

It offers the gamers some excuse if they do not make the highest 4, however they owe it to the followers, they owe it to themselves and so they all need to play within the Champions League.

It is a 50-50 name. I believe that is actually excellent news for the golf equipment round them. However Tottenham did it final 12 months, so there isn’t any purpose they can not do it this 12 months.

Spurs is not going to compete for prime gamers with present homeowners

I am not shocked it did not work out for Conte – they seem to be a very troublesome membership to handle and all the time have been.

If you happen to take a look at the managers they have been by way of in recent times, they’ve virtually hit their heads towards a brick wall and are struggling to take management of this membership.

It is very managed by Daniel Levy – he desires to make all the choices and I believe that is all the time been a serious drawback with Tottenham. Tradition, I consider, is all the time outlined from above.

I spent 11 years at Liverpool – we did not earn sufficient whereas I used to be there – however you all the time felt they have been all the time making an attempt to herald the precise gamers and signal large names to be sure that they have been within the recreation to win trophies.

I by no means had that feeling with Tottenham. They’re by no means fairly within the combine for the large guys you need to signal.

If Tottenham actually need to succeed, that has to vary. Richarlison, Yves Bissouma… I would not actually name them rookies who will change the tradition of the membership or win that trophy that we want.

Till that modifications and also you get homeowners who actually need to compete and signal large title gamers, it is nonetheless going to be the identical drawback.

Failing prime 4 would not have an effect on switch plans

I do not assume lacking out on the Champions League would make a giant distinction to recruitment as a result of the gamers they’re normally for aren’t those who’re going to assume, ‘I’ve to play within the Champions League’. .

They’ve by no means run the membership like this so I do not anticipate them to take action this time.

They will not go for Declan Rice as a result of they do not essentially need to go for gamers who will price that a lot.

You discuss Arsenal eager to go for these gamers, however I do not assume that is Tottenham’s type and it’ll by no means be – I consider – whereas Levy is in cost.

In the event that they actually need to obtain this, it’ll in all probability be with the subsequent homeowners. Though the present homeowners are in cost, it is extremely troublesome so that you can compete for these gamers.

They need to purchase gamers who might turn into stars, but it surely does not all the time work out that approach. You should be vying for these prime notch gamers.

The stadium is to not blame for the shortage of trophies

It has been the longest drought in historical past – they want rain ultimately.

This trophy drought is not simply concerning the stadium. After I was on the membership, I felt that he was not likely made to win. It was a totally totally different tradition to what I had skilled in Liverpool.

So no, I do not assume you possibly can blame the stadium as a result of it has been occurring for a few years.

Typically it’s a must to quit the ability as an proprietor and provides the supervisor an opportunity, as a result of when you might have one or two years at a membership it’ll by no means be lengthy sufficient.

Supervisor turnover will not assist hold Kane

I do not know what Harry Kane goes to do.

Harry is in an excellent place as he will likely be out of contract subsequent 12 months. He would possibly consider that Tottenham is the precise membership for him the place he can win all the person awards, however by way of trophies received at Tottenham, I do not actually see that in the mean time.

In lower than a 12 months, he can signal a free contract with somebody. His negotiators will discuss to the golf equipment and the golf equipment will know the state of affairs. That is how soccer works – we bury our heads within the sand and say it isn’t, however he’ll have loads of choices as a result of he is a world-class participant.

As for the place he would go, I assumed Manchester United could be an possibility.

Though there’s this chaos at Tottenham, it doesn’t assist your trigger to maintain your star participant. Yearly you rent a brand new supervisor and he is in all probability questioning, “What is the level?” You want some continuity – it is conducive to success.

Arsenal have a path – but it surely’s chaotic at Spurs

I might say that is Kane’s final likelihood to get a giant switch, sure. It is a fantastic alternative to go there if he desires to. He’s a Tottenham fan, he loves the membership and there’s no doubt that if he goes there, it will likely be with a heavy coronary heart.

You aren’t actually in a robust place to barter if you’re Tottenham. It was as if Tottenham determined to carry Jose Mourinho and Conte to attempt to get that trophy, virtually for Kane.

However the truth that these two managers – who’re serial winners – have not labored, you begin to surprise, ‘Properly, who can really win at this membership?’ The potential is there, but it surely’s simply not being realized proper now. The tradition on the membership does not appear to be the precise one by way of a successful mentality.

If you happen to’re a supervisor proper now, you could be considering, “Why would I am going there? The one good factor as a supervisor is you are available, get fired after which receives a commission. All managers must assume: ‘It is a fantastic chuckle to return to Tottenham’.

It should not be – you must construct one thing particular like what’s occurring at Arsenal. We see an actual plan, an actual path. At Tottenham, it is simply chaotic proper now.
