Conte and Paratici
Conte and Paratici
Heart failure (currently working at 65%)
Low blood pressure
Diabetes
Fluid on the lungs
Scratched eye so impaired vision
4 injections a day
9 tablets a day
It's important the heart pumps blood around your body and you can take a lung full of oxygen.
It is best for your lungs for you to be standing or sitting, lying down breathing is more difficult, which unless you've a lung problem isn't usually an issue.
Obviously with a heart working at 65%, the blood isn't being pumped efficiently.
The heart needs sorting but the low blood pressure stopped them going straight to solve the heart problem and the fluid on the lungs, belly, legs and feet meant tackling that, after dealing with diabetes issues.
To increase blood pressure drinking plenty of water, yet the body full of fluid meant a fluid intake restriction.
In hospital they assess the situation, figure out a plan, embark upon it and change it as necessary.
That is also what Tottenham do.
Every problem can't be solved instantly, as fans would wish, one thing affects something else and fixing some problems has to be delayed until you fix another, like getting the right manager in before you spend your money.
Our historical problem was that we didn't have the money the other teams had so the club had to be built to generate it.
The stadium was that vehicle and that took over 10 years to achieve.
The plan, which only the foolish ignore and pretend doesn't exist, was for the stadium to generate the income that could then be reinvested into the playing staff, be that through buying players or paying them more or both.
The trouble with fans is they measure club performance against their own agenda and timetable, not against the clubs.
Take the stated aim of rivalling Barcelona and Real Madrid both on and off the field.
First the off-field money has to be there to pay for the on-field.
How long is that going to take?
Where is the club against that aim?
That's the only criteria to judge against.
On the field is dictated by off the field success.
Liverpool had a period below us, Manchester United had a period below us, Arsenal are now having a period below us.
Progress is never a permanent upcurve.
Understanding that is a key element in assessing progress.
We have hit a bump, flatlined, dipped a little and are taking steps to rectify that.
All common sense stuff yet a section want all change and start again with an outdated illegal practice.
Even in this day and age I still see people not understanding an owner can't just give money to a club, that money has to be paid back and that owner money can't be used for buying players or wages.
Take a look at this from a poster on Spurs Community asking for illegal investment against Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
The guy simply doesn't understand the football business, living in a fantasy and judging things against his fantasy.
Why take note of anyone like that when their opinion isn't based on reality.
If you are judging the club against those illegal criteria then you're opinion is rather irrelevant, it isn't in the real world but your own fantasy world.
That what those silly little protests were all about, they were from people like this.
A group of people who don't even understand the "battlefield" they are complaining about!
They are seeing one battle in a 100-year war effectively.
Those steps, it would seem, include appointing former Juventus duo Antonio Conte as manager and Fabio Paratici as Director of Football, unless Mauricio Pochettino forces an exit at PSG.
A return to the structure we had before.
Conte is well aware, a full stadium will generate funds in the future and that player sales will have to help contribute to transfer plans this summer.
He will not be given an open cheque book.
But I doubt a full stadium will bring instant spending, financially the club also has to recover as well.
The Italian is a manager who knows how to win so how he will approach mentally improving our players will be interesting.
Will some improve in a 3-5-2 system and a player like Sanchez surely isn't good enough on the ball for that style?
Conte took the head coach role at Arezzo on July 1st 2006, then to Bari, Atalanta, Siena, Juventus, Italian national manager, Chelsea, Inter Milan and is now a free agent.
As a player he spent most of his career at Juventus, from November 1st 1991 to his retirement on July 1st 2004.
He has plenty of experience at big clubs and with big ego players, plus at Chelsea he managed more games than at any of his other clubs so has Premier League experience.
The 51 year old has time on his side and prefers the 3-5-2 system.
With that it is essential that your centre-backs can play out from the back, not rely on one centre-back to do that as many teams do, Manchester United included.
I was disappointed we didn't sign Joachim Andersen last summer but he has now has a season with Fulham and shown quality with the ball at his feet.
Hopefully this is one deal we can get over the line this summer.
I'm just sitting back and waiting to see what happens and then support, as all supporters should, whoever is appointed.
I'm in no rush to hear news, we'll be told when we're told.
