Management Fabio Paratici

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He should be your first signing. Sack Lange, appoint Paratici (now) and then start to built the team. But first you must appoint the sporting director and then you can can built the team (included the market), not the reverse. And a sporting director must start to work now, to plan the season, not in august.
Paratici and Lange don't perform the same roles though. Lange excels in the technical scouting and analysis departments whereas Paratici has the networks and relationship-building skillset.

I'm not sold on FP coming back, but he's had some short-term transfer successes with Micky (TBD), Lucas (TBD), Gray (TBD), Sarr (TBD), Perisic, Madders, Bentancur, etc and rejigging the academy. Whether any of the young/promising prospects kick on relies heavily on a decent coach.

Because Paratici had Enrique lined up, and Levy let Munn lumber us with Ange Postecoglou in stead. The direction of that road less travelled looks pretty good right now ..
And Paratici for all of his flaws is at the very least a savvy, connected and competent football guy.

People are trying to blame the whole Juventus thing on him when he was the lowest guy on a totem pole of decision makers who all got banned for it.
 
I can’t believe some of you want Paratici back. Guy built a bang average side.

Keep Lange and bring back Gabbiadini and I can get behind it.

Paratici on his own I'm less enthused by but even then, the least involved Levy has ever been in football decisions and transfer negotiations was under Paratici. For whatever reason, he's one of the few people that he's ever trusted to stay out the way more.
