Nothing to do with you; but I’m getting pissed off at these Spurs news twitter accounts posting stuff with no link cited, just the name of the publication in brackets.
Very easy to just fake stuff, or take it out of context, when no link is provided.

I put the tweets up for the craic. If people don't want to see them I can stop. Or they can put me in ignore until a new manger is announced. Don't really give a fuck either way.
 
It will be intriguing to see how much backing he is given. Perhaps ENIC’s plan really does require us to be continually challenging or, at a minimum, playing CL.

If that’s the case, spending significant sums now, at a time when teams are struggling, might reap rewards.

I’m just slightly bemused by it all. I’ll believe it when I see it.
It also makes sense for Conte to set the expectation at "we need to spend money" up front. Mourinho came in and basically said the squad was fine and Levy was sold.

As with everything, it's probably somewhere in the middle, but Conte is going to want 3-4 first team signings this summer on top of not selling Kane.
 
fogueres fogueres any thoughts/insight on Paratici?
I add with the list of some players that Paratici has brought to Juventus:

Barzagli for € 300,000, a gift

Bonucci

Pirlo 0€

Vidal

Pogba 0€

Higuain in my opinion a mistake (it would have been taking a young Icardi)

CR7

Can you tell us more about Paratici - what was his full remit at Juve?

Does he speak English ?
Paratici when he was only a sports manager worked very well. When he was also appointed CEO, in my opinion he was not able to understand the management aspects. As an observer he had a lot of eye to understand cheap deals: Pogba, Pirlo, Vidal, Tevez etc.
 
I too would be highly interested in anything you have to discourse on this subject matter fogueres fogueres
As mentioned in other speeches: if Conte agrees to come, it means that the company has an important budget in its pocket to satisfy his requests. He left Inter when the Chinese told him they wanted to sell some top players
