If you think for a moment about Conte's track record, his record at Spurs last season, the huge bankroll he was given in summer, and even Spurs' progress this season right up to the final hour of his theatrical, grifting mega-flounce, you'll see that logic is untenable. Sometimes people are simply responsible for their shitty behaviour. Anyone did that at an organisation I worked I certainly wouldn't be blaming the owners.
