I get the impression that you don't think much of this guy?The only good thing about Conte not happening is yet more egg on that lying fucking prick Hurcules' face.

Sorry but it's the height of naivety to suggest Levy hasn't been stoking these rumours to that end. It doesn't mean the interest isn't real but all you need do is compare the level of secrecy around JM's appointment and contrast with this one.Anyone who thinks all the rumors about Conte and Poch are just to get season ticket holders to renew is clueless. There's a long waiting list for season tickets and, even if Mickey Mouse was our target (is he available, by the way?), they'd get snapped up anyway.
So stop with the conspiracy theories already.

Good point.Don't give these idiots airtime on here

If you keep spamming the forum with this crap I will probably have to stick you on ignore.

Pretty woeful tbh. Last season as an example, Inter finished bottom of a group consisting of Real Madrid, B M'Gladbach and Shaktar DonetskWhats his Champions League record like? That's the ultimate test surely. Pitching yourself against Europe's finest.

I agree with all of it
Terrible squad Juve has put together with too much relying on crippled Ronaldo, but I guessfogueres would know better if there’s anything else than Chiesa to get excited about in that group of players
Rangnick would also be my go to guy right now, and not as a coach but DoF, since there isn’t a lot to salvage from this squad, and Conte would face some of the same issues as Mourinho
Easily Ten Hag/Rangnick is the best option for usI think there are two packages I'd be happy with at this point...
Conte/Paratici - Elite coach and to me it signals they will be back in a big way. I know we all want to see young players come through and great attacking football, but to take that next step to being an elite club we need to start acting like one instead of like a midtable club.
Ten Hag/Rangnick - IF we aren't going the first route, then we need to become world class at going the young/hungry route. These two could get it done.
Either are acceptable options in my opinion.
I actually find him quite amusing. Any dickhead that listens to him deserves what they get.They're all bullshitters, but that one is another level. Completely convinced of his own importance, unwavering in his opinion and worst of all, completely incapable of coping with criticism and questions.
They're really all as bad as eachother. Except him. Massive issues.
It's the most "us" for sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the one that gets us the best results. I guess that's the distinction I am trying to draw.
BC - more generally, I know you are a strong advocate of the DoF structure. The argument for the structure is that the DoF appoints the Head Coach, and is responsible for signing players both to fit the Head Coach's preferred tactical system but also for the medium & long term ensuring some continuity when that coach leaves.
However, in this case, it seems Levy is appointing both Conte and Paratici. Indeed ,rather than Paratici recommending Conte for the role, it seems more likely that Conte recommended Paratici (even though there are claims we looked at Paratici for the DoF role a few years ago).
I think there is a good case for getting a transfer expert who Conte trusts into the club, but my suspicion is that Paratici will be performing a role similar to the "Head Scout / Thrash Out Deals With Agents & Clubs" one that Baldini performed in our "Magnificent Seven" summer.
I don't see this as the appointment of a true DoF, with all the powers believers in the system would grant them.
And fwiw - I'm entirely agnostic about DoFs. My experience has taught me that management structures & restructures are utter bollocks.
It's the calibre & judgement of the person performing the job that matters, not the structure. So if your Chief Scout has crap judgement, then you will sign crap players.
Ditto for your DoF.
Effective scouting and recruitment, exciting football, feel good factor around the club, the results will follow. We have to create our own identity and stick to it, like someone else said try to be the Dortmund of the PL is a good example to aim for.It's the most "us" for sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the one that gets us the best results. I guess that's the distinction I am trying to draw.
