Management Fabio Paratici

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

His transfers have been ok and has apparently done a lot with the youth system and other departments but he lacks a football style.

Whole point of a DoF is to bring a clear direction, he went from Gattuso to Nuno to apparently now Luis Enrique, wrong set of managers for us and also scatter gun.

Next DoF needs to have a clear progressive coherent identity so we can begin to resemble City, Woolwich and Brighton in how we build a team rather than Boehy Chelsea or Dildo West Ham.

Glad he came but also glad he is going.
His transfers have been shite

I agree with this.

Regarding style and DoF's, unless they are ex-pros or ex-managers that are already acknowledged for a particular style then it is hard to attribute one to an individual DoF. It is imperative that one is committed to one and that everything they do is, therefore, aligned to ensure all departments support, develop and nurture the identity. So he has to enable this and we don't know if he is or isn't capable of doing this.

In the same vein, what identity does Monchi, Moratta, Campos even Paul Mitchell etc have???

Evidence may suggest that he isn't given the appointments and types of managers he was going after or did bring in. But equally, it's fair to say that things were a tad fucked at this time also, so perhaps there was a case of chasing a problem rather than getting ahead of it?????

But in any event, if he can't perform his duties at Tottenham then we really need to secure us one that can and trust that they are talented enough to take ownership of an identity and live and breathe it.
 
By the way, Juve had their points REINSTATED.


How does that even work?
Envelopes of cash.

Kinda feels like unless whoever it is is a big deal with lots of experience at the corporate/board end then we may as well let all the various department heads of the recruitment & academy system just get on with it for now.........

We don't need a glorified head scout; we need a proper full-blown Director Of Football that can hold his own in a board meeting and challenge DL & co. when required. (I had the impression that at the very least DL had a standing lot term respect for FP..... And I don't think he'd be indulging this whole protracted appeal saga if he didn't continue to have one and want him to remain.)
 
Depending on what you read/choose to believe the board didn't want him.... Or you prefer the gospel according the TFC conspiracy tree; Levy won't re-hire Poch because it'd be embarrassing.

What it true? Dunno.



Huh?
Fair enough on not really knowing who doesn’t want Poch.

Planes is recently the Getafe DOF and stepped down. Was at Spurs before and is mates with Poch. Recently posed for IG snaps with the crew
