JERMAINE JENAS finds it hard to argue with Antonio Conte's evaluation of Tottenham's history.
But the former Spurs midfielder believes the soon to depart head coach must take a large share of the blame for failing to change the narrative with his dull and conservative style.
Conte's outburst after last Saturday's embarrassing draw at Southampton, in which he criticised his players and questioned a long-held mental fragility, has left chairman Daniel Levy considering whether to sack him during the international break, or wait until his contract expires in the summer.
The Spurs boss, who is back home in Italy, missed yesterday's training session and it is unclear when or if he will return to north London.
And Jenas thinks the dressing room will be split between those hurt by his comments and others revved up by the prospect of a fresh chance when he departs.
"For the players there will be bruised egos," said Jenas, 40, who spent eight years at White Hart Lane.
