    Strange paradox with a lot of players who have left Spurs and flourished. You omitted Ossie Ardiles.

    Tim Sherwood sure is and was a wanker. It's in his name really.

    Kane can leave on a free next summer.

    Happy Saturday.

    It was a list for the ENIC era starting in 2001.

    But the trend does go back into the 80s and 90s.

    So, 10 managers.
    4 won trophies post-Spurs.

    Yes, but none of them hit the heights with a big club.

    Tottenham Hotspur are expected to agree the departure of their Italian manager Antonio Conte, 53, this week, with former player and English first-team coach Ryan Mason, 31, likely to take charge until the end of the season. (Telegraph - subscription required)

    One-season wonder Harry Kane scores his 54th England goal to surpass Wayne Rooney as England’s all-time leading goal scorer.

    Number 54 actually. So he is now the record goal scorer for 2 teams that don't win anything.

    I've just read somewhere that Ben Davies will be out through unjury for most of what remains of the season. That strikes me as particularly bad news, as once Conte's gone, I'd expected to see less of Perisic, who's been poor, and more importantly, occupies space that Son needs to be effective. This could be a real blow to whatever the replacement (Mason?) intends.

    There were times when I didn't rate Kane as highly as perhaps I should have. He'd go missing especially against the top teams and I didn't think he'd catch Rooney. But, very well done Harry, you proved me wrong.

    I was in good company then. Even if Harry leaves we'll find someone, we always have right back to Jimmy Greaves.

    Was Conte telling the truth during his ten minute tirade after the 3-3 farce?

    He was telling the truth but he was also generating his own departure.

    Anyway, I am glad we will no longer have to listen to his hypocrisy.

    Exactly, he was telling the truth and I respect that regardless of the outcome. There are some good names in the hat but I'd like Ancelotti.

    If he was telling the truth, I would like to know who the selfish players are. I don't believe it's everyone.
