ENIC do not give a shit. Zero. Neither does Agent Vinnie. Neither will that twat City kid they gonna sign soon as Football Ops director.

They rake in 4.5mil every home game, even when most end up in defeat cause there'll always be fans and matchday tourists to buy beer & merch...plus the world's most expensive ST.

Add to that the PL telly money, CL/EL tv rights whenever we play European footy. Even finishing bottom half in the PL brings in tens of millions through bonuses.

The stadium keeps getting booked for lots of non-football events...generating sick revenue.

The club (sorry...the brand) gets partnership & sponsorship offers left, right & centre...Paris Baguette, friggin Pet Foods shite...all willing to cough up mega bucks to appear on the club's various platforms.

We're at that stage where it don't friggin matter to them if the team finishes 15th on the regular, cause the football money is still good but mainly the club makes enough through property, entertainment & commercial deals. Plus the club's name, reputation & assets allow them to borrow zillions from banks at favorable rates. And if one day the shit hits the fan, they'll just fill their boots before doing a runner and let us fans pick up the shattered pieces.

It's been a scam, a criminal enterprise for 25 years. And it's not gonna end anytime soon cause too many of us just keep bending over & saying thank you for the privilege.

Why do you even support spurs ?

Every post is utter negativity.

Shocking incompetence from Vinai to allow this to go down pre TW. The only other thing is...Pochettino and Paratici is a non starter. It’s obvious Lange will take any BS, so looks like the set up being tweaked for a change of direction. Back to the committee with prehaps Poch having the say,Lange using the data and the bloke in from city actually doing the contract negotiations.

I’d be surprised if Lange has a future after Frank inevitably gets sacked at the end of the season. I think the only thing keeping him in a job and bringing Paratici back in the first place was the processes left in place by levy that they want to move on from. After the institutional upheaval settles Lange will be a rabbit in the headlights.

I’ve witnessed businesses get rid of a key executive they thought they could do without and it’s often not readily visible how ingrained they are across all aspects of the business until they’re gone.

One business I was involved in got shot of the MD and they had to eventually replace him with four new posts, he juggled so much effortlessly. The business went to the dogs after he left and was never quite the same again losing a lot of engineering expertise.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the manner of Levy’s dismissal has caused a significant amount of instability behind the scenes with key personnel thinking ‘sod this!’ and jumping ship.

It’s been said lots left because of his meddling and micromanaging. I think he had his fingerprints over everything and made all the decisions so there is bound to be a void. But that’s why they are now bringing so many people in behind the scenes.

There are lots of conflicting reports.

There's the power struggle theory between him VS Lange and Frank and using the Fiorentina move as leverage.
Or, Tottenham are being difficult over his fee.

I would say the latter is more likely. Can't wait to get in some more Lange quality. As much as I don't think Paratici is the cats pyjamas, he's almost certainly better than the guy who cried down the phone, and failed, to persuade Tel to come here.
 
I thought that we were supposedly bringing in the Rafi Moersen guy from City as head of football operations.

Didn't see how it was going to work when we've got more directors than strikers, so Paratici leaving makes sense. Hopefully rapidly followed by Flange.
