It was really frustrating for Spurs fans seeing how the team struggled to win games and maintain consistency but I won't entirely blame Conte for the poor games, on different occasions he made mention of players not giving their best and lacking winning mentality, also I think the board have not been all round supportive even at the era of Conte so it was difficult trying to turn things around.
A squad comparison is needed between the teams that finished in the top four and Tottenham, Tottenham failure to finish in the top four was due to being unable to compete with other, stronger teams. Conte era at Tottenham did not go according to plan, the depth of the squad that Tottenham had was still unable to provide competition with other teams, besides that, Conte could not work comfortably due to many demands from other parties.
Tottenham failure to finish in the European zone makes me feel sorry for the star players in their squad, Kane, Son and several other star players should appear in the Champions League or Europa League. Kane must take the best attitude for his future, staying at Tottenham there is no guarantee he can lift a trophy.
I feel that Tottenham are too dependent on just one of their mainstay players, namely Harry Kane and Son. So when in a squad all the players don't have enough contributions that are evenly distributed between one line and another, that is what actually becomes a weakness in a club.
And speaking of Harry Kane, in the current transfer market, many big clubs want Kane. the big clubs who want them are Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern. these three clubs are trying to make a bid for Kane. but Real Madrid still feel the price of getting Kane is currently too high for them. so maybe Real Madrid will be out of competition for Kane.
Harry kane deserve a better club and i believe he can do better in a club like Manchester united or real Madrid, it's very hard to choose the destination now, personally i would like to see him in an English club but everything depends on the player desire but staying at Tottenham will be a terrible mistake for him
