There's absolutely no reason now to appoint an Italian DoF used to working with much bigger budgets than us & who thinks signing a perpetually crocked Aaron Ramsey for £400k pw is a good idea.

Paratici also hired Sarri for Juve. And I definitely do not want a chain smoking charisma free tosser who has managed chavski coaching my club.

Antonio Conte will not be the new Tottenham manager. The negotiation has been canceled, with the former Inter coach who is the Italian champion who is not convinced of the Spurs project. The black smoke with Conte does not change the arrival in London of Fabio Paratici, leaving Juventus, for whom only the signature is missing.
 
Then tell Levy his first choice is Conte.
Well that's the thing, the one thing a DoF does NOT do is set his own budget. If Levy won't produce the funds to get Conte, that's the business Paratici has chosen.

But if he's the man that's going to be overhauling the squad, it should be his call who is going to coach them.

My suspicion is that Paratici is less a DoF than a well-connected continental guru whose task is to smoke out under the radar deals as financial problems roil continental leagues. Which would be a pretty nice thing to have and a savvy move for us to make.

Trouble is, we're still then stuck with a terrible chief scout analyzing those opportunities, a megalomaniacal bean counter making a clusterfuck of all the negotiations, and a powerless head coaching position of a decaying squad that no one in their right mind would want.
 
Smells like another poorly thought out Franco baldini appointment to me. Why hire Paratici if it’s a young, energetic and youthful approach you want to take?

Rangnick or campos are obvious choices.

The only reason for this guy was to get Conte

If now thats broken down it should of been Ragnick from the start, who we were apparently negotiating with over a month ago

Eh, Rangnick doesn't make as much sense as people think.

He's a mediocre albeit highly influential manager who was given oversight over an operation that was a blank slate for him at a level of financing relative to the competition where he basically couldn't fail. Salzburg is just Austrian Man City, and Leipzig is more or less just cheating the German football rules.

The Rangnick revolution has already happened in English football. Everybody plays like that now.

Rangnick as DOF not manager, his scouting ability and knack for finding gems is rivalled only by campos currently (at DOF level) in Europe.

For one thing Rangnick would want to be the manager, that's part of the deal.

And for two he had it a lot easier in Red Bull's setup. They're continuing to do the same stuff without him.

Campos is on a heater, there's no doubt of that, but the PL is a different animal.

As DOF not manager, there were rumours we were negotiating with him for that role

This juve guy doesn't have the most impressive record, but made sense since he has a good relationship with Conte, now we've fucked up the Conte appointment this just makes no sense now
