Is there anything official on the club website?
That still doesn't answer my question of how you know that he knows Paratici's role with in the set up.
You really think Levy would let Lange walk out with full pay when Lange can't prove that Levy lied at all?
Prigozhen's Russian disinformation units are looking for new recruits that can bullshit and ignore any facts when they spread the world according to Putin missives
You'd be well suited to those roles. Remember when you apply that Mr Progozhen no longer heads the unit up, as the Kremlin website isn't up to date on this bit yet
Maybe you misread the question, I'll ask again.

Fabio Paratici sees appeal ‘partially accepted’ by FIFA with former Tottenham director allowed to return to football at a reduced capacity | Goal.com UK
Fabio Paratici has had his suspension from football reduced by FIFA after an appeal from the former Tottenham and Juventus director was accepted.

I note this about data-driven recruitment from Ally Gold's discussion with a Midlands football journo, "former Aston Villa correspondent Ashley Preece", about Lange's time at Villa.
-----------------------
Preece: He'll have to but Lange is softly-spoken and doesn't rock the boat too much. He worked well with Dean Smith who was used to working with a sporting director. However, under Steven Gerrard, it was different. I got the feeling the two never saw eye to eye. Gerrard would often say how 'all the numbers would blow his head' in terms of the data for players. I remember Gerrard saying how much Villa were 'data mad' in reference to Lange's way of working. Gerrard didn't really get Lange and cracked on making his own signings: Coutinho, Digne etc.
------------------------------------
I doubt Ange will go full Stevie G about a data-driven approach. Also, the Coutinho signing was pretty disastrous given the money involved.
But I imagine, as a straight-talking Aussie & highly experienced football coach, Ange will not allow himself to be blinded by numbers either.
I saw some comments where Ange talked about watching videos of matches played by our returning players - like Udogie & presumably the likes of Gil - whilst they were out on loan last season.
I'm sure he'll want an eye test to complement the underlying data about any potential signing.
He's also shown that when players have a skillset he likes, he's committed to developing them. Eg coaching the likes of Porro & Udgogie to play as inverted FBs, which neither of them have done before in their footballing careers.

Gold: You need to have a strong personality to succeed at Spurs, will he [Lange] be able to hold his own within their set-up?

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The conditions of Paratici's reduced ban mean that he will not be able to enter changing rooms during matches, will not be allowed to negotiate contracts with players or agents and cannot participate in league meetings. He can, however, perform administrative tasks and attend training sessions.Fabio Paratici sees appeal ‘partially accepted’ by FIFA with former Tottenham director allowed to return to football at a reduced capacity | Goal.com UK

Because it's an important role.
I tell you what ;
If Lange kicks off and walks out we'll all come back here and say that
MVP
was right.If not he can say that we're right.
Let's give it a time limit of 6 months, that should be plenty of time for Lange to feel back stabbed.
He can't if it was verbal, unless he has recorded Levy's words, otherwise it's Lange's word against Levy's.
The issue is whether Paratici employed by the club as a consultant or not, we are assuming as fans yes because of the various reports saying so, but what I'm saying is Lange is not necessarily taking notice of reports.I tell you what ;

I don't want Lange to storm out in 6 months or any drama like that.

I'll all come out right at beginning of Jan transfer window or even before, when they try to agree targets of players to sign. So not even 6 months, more like 2 months (start date 1 Nov)
Whether Lange's issue will be about Fabio or Ange or ANO may not be as clear.
Certainly with a big club and company like ourselves there is no reason why we shouldn't list Paratici if he is employed unless we have something to hide.
