After kicking out the man from Wolves, Daniel Levy has gone and invited Antonio Conte to dinner. It is both exciting and quite possibly the Tottenham chairman’s latest act of self-harm.
The coming day or so ought to tell us whether the finer details of a deal can be concluded, and from there we can only wonder what might play out when Conte signs.
Doubtless it would be a coup for Levy if he is able to bring one of the world’s finest managers to his magnificent castle. But it is also reasonable at this moment to question if his judgment is equal to the gig on these sorts of calls, and, indeed, if he has really thought this through.
