Now that it's over, Antonio Conte and Daniel Levy's fractious relationship at Tottenham can be epitomised by the £20million signing of Djed Spence.
Remember the Championship's outstanding wing-back last season who sparked a bidding war between Premier League clubs in the summer? Well, Spurs won the race and fans were understanding excited to see the Nottingham Forest promotion winner in action.
Unfortunately for those supporters, Spence only featured six times before being sent out on loan to French side Rennes in January. Conte made it clear shortly after the 22-year-old's arrival that it was indeed Levy and the club who decided to buy Spence, signalling a disconnect which rarely showed signs of healing during the Italian's tumultuous 16-month reign as boss which - to no one's surprise - came to an end on Sunday.
