Those are serious guesses ? - I’d love to see your wild creative guesses
Utter twaddle, sorry.We want Paratici and by all accounts he wants to be here, and yet the contract has not been finalized. These are big and intricate negotiations, and with the window closed and players prepping for the Euros or on vacation there's not a lot of urgency to have it all done right now other than to satisfy a bunch of forum posters with nothing better to do (guilty).
Will we hire Conte? Maybe. Will we not? Maybe. Will it matter in September that we didn't have a manager on June 8th? No, even if we hadn't sacked Mourinho he wouldn't be at Hotspur Way right now.
No idea why you're taking this position, it's either incredibly dumb, ill informed or both.This obsession with having a manager in place early and signing players and having a "full preseason" is really bizarre. Particularly in an off-season with major international tournaments that mean most players will do fuck all until early August at the soonest anyway.
We've had that in the past and done fuck all with it. Clubs have signed key players near deadline day and won trophies.
We don't fail to win trophies in April and May because we didn't have the full squad doing keepies in Enfield in July. "Get them in early and have a full preseason" is just one of those vague bullshit lines parroted by talking heads and supporters. If you appointed Guardiola and signed Mbappe, Haaland, and VVD on August 31st, I think you'd still win a fucking trophy.

It's not just the players though,it's their family,should they have one.It gives them that extra bit of time,to find a house,gettheir kids into school etc.This obsession with having a manager in place early and signing players and having a "full preseason" is really bizarre.

I think you have totally misread his post. Right now all the good players are with their national teams and after the tournos they will be wanting a holiday.Couldn’t disagree more, the earlier we get players signed the better. Not only will they have more time on the training pitch with their coach and teammates but they also have more time to learn about the club, the language, move house, sort out their car, kids, dogs, etc.
Of course a good player is still a good player whether they are signed on the first day or the last day, but look at how a player like Lo Celso has been affected by missing pre-season two summers in a row. He has been unable to stay fit or make a big contribution to the team. A disrupted start should be avoided at all costs.
The transfer window only opened todayI think you have totally misread his post. Right now all the good players are with their national teams and after the tournos they will be wanting a holiday.
Also most of the people who run the football clubs are on holiday as well.

Probably the worst England song of all time, along with Meat pie, Sausage roll.
But how long ago did we sack Jose?
the fact we still don’t have manager is either because they are all turning us down , or
The plan all along was to get Southgate or martinez after the Euros , and if this was the case then why sack Jose before the cup final? Everyone hated his cunting football but as much as we hate to admit it we had a better chance to win it with him over mason!
There is also my wild card theory that levy would get back poch if the chance came along.
Sound like Conte officially told Levy to fuck off?
I'd like to see the list of players Conte was asking for.I still cant blame any club chairman/owner for not simply giving someone like Conte everything they want.
Managers are temporary, always will be - the club needs certain stability to succeed - so if Conte was looking to sack off half the club staff for his own men I can understand that being a sticking point.
Similarly if he was demanding huge budgets, or say over finances - same again. You cant give people the power to damage the club.
Now I dont know what exactly Conte was asking for, but I also dont know things didnt work out just because Levy is a tight cunt (yawn).
