We dont have to demand any change because the one thats accountable cant be punished for his mistakes. So it really means nothing at all for levy to be held accountable.

Do we? We've been here several times before.
Well, he hasn't even started in an official capacity yet. But from the 1st July we have one.
We've never been here before, this is the first proper all-encompassing DoF we've ever had.
You say, believing press reports about Daniel Levy surrendering absolute control.
I mean, come on.
Maybe it's true. Maybe. But let's not be naive here.
The biggest criticism that been aimed at him and one that completely backed up across the entire fanbase, not just 16yr olds shouting "out" at the moon, has been his football knowledge (the decisions he's made from flopping from different philosophies etc). This has been recognised so he's taken himself out of this and appointed someone who's experienced in this.
This is called change.
Stop looking for something, "punishment" that impossible and will never happen to implement.
Levy overruled his DoF's preferred managerial choice literally yesterday.
Levy won't surrender complete control. He is too invested. And one thing's for sure, when money is being spent Paratici will need to be persuasive.
Maybe if it goes well, Paratici will earn Levy's trust and be given more freedom, but it won't happen on day 1.
That's an executive decision that's NOT based on football. It wasn't a football decision.

It was also listening to the fans was it not?
So in the negotiations with Fonseca Paratici apparently told Fonseca that he had to pick from the pool of coaches already at Spurs to add to his backroom staff. This fits in with negotiations with Conte where Conte wanted 7 of his own staff but Spurs/Levy said he was allowed 4 and the rest had to be picked from those already at the club. Surely this is Levy imposing limits and not Paratici because in Italy managers have huge backroom teams and can pick whoever they want
Also I read that Levy has allowed Paratici a lot of control but when it comes to the final decisions regarding players and salaries then Levy has the final ultimate say.

Choosing a manager isn't a football decision
The intervention was a PR/Marketing matter, not a footballing one.
Any chance of sharing this article?
Spot on. I've been banging on about getting a DoF for ages but it has to be someone suited to us not just any random. Its like saying people have been moaning about not having a manager so we can all shut up now because we've appointed Mike Mcarthy.
Are we making decisions based on twitter trends now? Yikes.
I'm sad to say that I agree.
Wasn't he supposed to start to working the first of July, according to the press release when he was hired? Maybe if we paid him for working in June he wouldn't have to sell all this shit to the media.
I am not sure what is worse them not thinking that the comments should rule him out immediately or if they saw twitter and then changed their mind based on that.
Of course, it could all be just BS, although zero reason to think that, but really Gattuso shouldn't have been an option based on his on field stuff let alone getting it to the point that fans had to point out what a POS he is off the field.
When it comes to hiring bigots let's absolutely fucking hope so!!!!
You know why this was almost certainly why he was binned off don't you? Literally every single media agency from shit clickbait to mainstream reported it as such.
Journalist claims Daniel Levy has already overruled Paratici on one footballing decision at Spurs
Duncan Castles has claimed that Tottenham’s decision to not hire Paulo Fonseca was Daniel Levy’s call, despite Fabio Paratici wanting him.
Castles shared details of why the move for Fonseca fella apart.
“The brief from Fonseca’s camp is that it fell apart over coaching staff and Tottenham’s refusal to build his coaching team. There’s also a story that was released in Italy that the reason that agreement fell apart was because Fonseca would be earning less in England, due to the benefits of Italian tax laws, than he would have been at Roma, and Spurs were not prepared to pay the additional,” Castles said.
"I’m told that is false and that the net salary was essentially the same in Rome as it was going to be in London, and it was actually Levy’s decision to overrule the choice of the new Managing Director of Football, Fabio Paratici, who he said would be heading up the football side of the club going forward"
