Growing belief Antonio Conte, out of contract this summer, will depart before the end of the season; several players and staff pleading with Mauricio ...

"I'm told Spurs do have a shortlist in place for Conte's successor. "But there is intense pressure for Tottenham to reappoint Mauricio Pochettino. What matters for a coach is trying to work and raise the bar. This year we are struggling to raise the bar." While Pochettino is warmly viewed by the hierarchy, club directors - and Levy in particular - will not be swayed by emotion. It is understood that Tottenham do have a list of candidates in place.

The Mailbox is full of Tottenham fans waving off Antonio Conte. Also: are Neville and Carragher outdated? And Manchester United were never much good anyway.

a) Not win a cup and not lose 7-0, or b) win one of the four available cups and lose 7-0. Liverpool get through in Madrid and Man United lose to Betis is a worsening of the nightmare I endured. 1) For the first couple of seasons he played for United I thought he was a bit crap. Plus with Jesus in the team I think the focus will be to bring in players of similar calibre to him to support and cover for injury. For situational substitutions, why stop the game so that the player can take a round of applause and waste time? If you claim to be hit in the face, you are taken off and you undergo mandatory concussion protocols. However, in recent years I have found myself caring less and less about the top level of the sport. The silver lining for people who do actually care is that the back 3 for the next game would have to be a mix of Dier, Sanchez, Dier and Tanganga. Regardless of the nature or force of the push, it was a massively disrespectful incident and absolutely not acceptable at any level of the game. It’s his job to win football matches and I’m not sure that switching Kulu out for Sanchez when we need a sodding goal to stay in the CL is the way to do it. There’s nothing wrong with having 2 very good players, it’s the lack of others in this bracket that make Utd not very good as a team. And then there’s a squad with some actual talent in it (stop sniggering at the back) which is being mistreated, under-nurtured or both.

Richarlison has delivered a damning review of Tottenham Hotspur's season. The Brazil forward also criticised his manager, Antonio Conte.

Suddenly, he put me on the bench, against Wolverhampton he put me on for five minutes. There are minutes left, time left." "When I enter the field, I give my life. Richarlison was speaking after Spurs crashed out of the Champions League against AC Milan. "Yesterday, they asked me to take a test at the gym, that if I was good I would go to the game and, at the time of the game, they left me on the bench", Richarlison said the candid interview. "It was going well, in a good sequence, two wins against West Ham and Chelsea.

Antonio Conte's Tottenham crash out of the Champions League against AC Milan, and with another trophyless season on the cards it appears his tenure is ...

It was the act of a liability. The clock is surely ticking on Conte's tenure as Tottenham manager after a truly dismal Champions League exit at the hands of AC Milan in front of their own furious fans. Where was the creativity? Where was the intensity? Where was the urgency? This defeat condemned the 29-year-old club-record goalscorer to another season without a trophy.

Harry Kane has said Tottenham's failure to compete for trophies is not good enough and admitted the team have not found the right mentality and hunger.

“It’s his decision, he’s going to be the one that makes that choice,” Kane said. He is sure to be asked to elaborate on his post-Milan comment that On Tuesday they asked me to take a fitness test in the gym and told me I was going to start if I passed it. “I was playing well, we won against Chelsea and West Ham and suddenly I was on the bench. “All we can do as players is try to perform for him, work as hard as we can. There hasn’t been enough minutes given to me and this season – forgive my language – has been shit.” It is worth pointing out that the Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, would be a hugely reluctant seller. English football did not begin with the Premier League’s formation in 1992 and Shearer previously scored 23 times in the old division one. Before the Sheffield United game, the season could have been a whole lot different. Kane, used only as a 65th-minute substitute at Sheffield United, is desperate for silverware, having won nothing during his one-club career. “The top four [being the only target] is a consequence of not playing as well as we want to play. They are fourth, three points ahead of Liverpool, who have a game in hand and a superior goal difference.

Tottenham have been knocked out of the Champions League and FA Cup in recent days.

“That’s his decision, he’s going to be the one that makes that choice,” Kane added. “The top four [being our only target] is a consequence of not playing as well as we want to play. But I feel like that loss last week put a dagger in our hearts and as you can see we haven’t really recovered from that.” “The last week especially just hasn’t been good enough. Where we’re at as a club, we should be winning trophies. Asked whether a top-four finish is enough, he said: “I don’t think so.
