Paulo Fonseca (Poll Added)

[Fattynomates]

I can confirm the rumours of his appointment are rumours that may or may not come true

 

[Airfixx]

Yeah, let's drag out this damp squib of an appointment.

"As Fonseca takes his place in the dugout for the opening match of his Tottenham career...."

"....Or is he just trolling, Motty?"

 

[Ginolaflair]

I may have missed it but....have we even announced him officially yet?

Strong.

Yes.....

Since resigned tho.

Just heard Gold say that the delay could be related to Italian tax law and something about a time period requirement for employment to avoid a big hit on taxes.

Or just cos he's embarrassed?.....

 

[Hotspurpaul]

And we finished above both of them...

Fonseca will follow other exciting news! Daniel will NOT interfere!Well that is what the set-up is about. And he trusts his new General manager.​

Followed by this fairly reasonable take on that piece of fiction:

He'll do well here then with that attitude. Levy is already impressed.

Dunno about Levy, but Joe Lewis though....

Well that’s nice. Glad to see money is more important to him than starting his new job. Got his priorities right there.

That makes fuck all sense.

Gold:
Italian tax laws - which provide large tax breaks for elite sportsmen - could also require Fonseca to wait until the end of the second year of his contract start date in Italy before officially beginning a job in a new country.
He signed for Roma on 11 June 2019. I assume that contract expires 30 June 2021.

Another point Gold makes:

On top of that, UK travel restrictions could also see Fonseca have to isolate when he arrives if he does not qualify for an exemption as an elite sportsman through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

The blue firework in the bottom right is the most impressive..... Coincidence?

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Levy dragged this charade about the new manager so much time that a lot of us don’t care Really doing all stages of grief

 

[sudoku]

Did we actually top the league at one stage last year, or did I just dream that shit up?

Most of our dropped points were due to individual errors. Then there was the odd game where Mourinho's negativity was heavily punished.

We're not really that far away from it.

Thought I'd try a positive post amid all this jumping on the misery bandwagon that some cunts seem to have got rolling in here...

We beat Woolwich 2-0 on 6th December:

1		Tottenham	11	14	24
2		Liverpool	11	9	24
3		Chelsea	11	14	22
4		Leicester	11	6	21

Watched his Facebook video a while ago, I thought he made an excellent point about our managerial appointments.

Any who happened to be our first choice has been an unmitigated disaster. He listed Hoddle, Santini, Ramos, AVB and Mourinho.

Any managers that we either ended up with or when we couldn't get our first choice have been more successful...

He listed Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino, which looks really good but he conveniently glossed over Pleat and Sherwood so it was wasn't a perfect point but fuck it...

This is the most likely cause. Also, the players are all on holiday and he's in communication with Paratici, so this is really much ado about nothing.

So he might not be available to start work until the 10 July?

Surely he’d come to England in 3/4 days time so he can start his job immediately?

This could be what life will be like under Fonseca except we'll have another two or three extra like that Leicester goal as well...
