Per Vinai's video interview: Lange will focus on player scouting, performance, analytics and the youth program. Fabio will focus more on loans, pathways to the first team, player transfers and such.Fantastic.
Young talents via data in the front end and dodgy deals in the back end, club is cooking.
I think Takeover Panel rules might oblige them to make an offer for the other shares (but wouldn't swear to it).I think the way it is phrased and how trusts work is that he's (and his family) essentially a passive shareholder. It is worded that both the lewis family and the levy family are just beneficiaries, rather than owners.
So AFAIK, the most efficient buying process would be for someone to buy ENIC rather than the club, to avoid all kinds of red tape, but also to no doubt make everything involving that process simpler.

Some interesting discussion points including rumours that Vinai was foisted upon Levy, Levy’s dismissal got nasty as Lewis family weren’t happy about the management style buyout Levy was trying to orchestrate staying on as Chairman, the sale is still very likely but more of a long game than initially thought by the experts in that field, the Lewis family sudden attendance at games is PR show etc.
Worth a watch.
Agreed. On paper they complement each other's skillsets quite well. Will be interesting to see how it work.I really think with Levy gone, this is one of the best arrangement that could happen. I would have hoped for Lange to be gone, but with Paratici coming in now officially, they could well be very complementary in skill sets for a very strong department to look forward to.
