Antonio Conte has made it clear that strategy rather than emotion was behind his comments this week that shook up Tottenham Hotspur.
The Italian made headlines after Spurs' 1-0 defeat at Burnley when he declared to the media at Turf Moor that he needed to speak to the club about the future following what was the team's fourth loss in five games.
He also floated that idea that he would leave Tottenham if that was determined to be the best solution to solve the current malaise.
