Management Fabio Paratici

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I do not know. I wish Levy and Enic would sell up to someone with a bit more ambition who would actually listen to advice from actual football people. They realistically could sell us for £1.2billion and make a billion pound profit on their original investment.
Well ENIC is an investment company with the sole purpose of increasing value of their investments and a 1 billion profit in 20 years is not bad is it. They can take that profit, leave the club with the stadium debt, happy days for Levy and Lewis. Mission accomplished. :levylol:

The problem is they value the club at £2 Billion and no one but the absolutely super rich can afford the extra £800M. Till the revenue falls at Spurs Levy and the clown patrol are here to stay.
 
Anyone concerned about him?

He seems to only be going for managerial candidates that have either Serie A or Jorge Mendes connections.

i.e. a very small and poor pool of managers

The way he did the negotiations with Fonseca too and wanted him to play more defensive football?

Like seriously. I'm starting to like Levy/Hitchen more. Maybe that was the aim. Hire some even worse and make the fans like Levy again.
 


I think this is linked to us, Paratici knows Raiola & Mendes well and I think we have already been infected

I think we "were" infected, the disease that we caught came in the malignant form of Jose Mourinho. We have now cut this cancer and we are now in a period of remission.

There is always a time lag with our interest with 'X' and where and how this gets reported in the press, but my hope (it's by no means concrete proof yet) that we too are reluctant to deal with him is that Fonseca and Gatusso deals were squashed in part because they were either managed or under the guidance and influence of Mendes, a simplistic and hopeful view.

Mendes influence is spread worldwide, so it will be inevitable that a player you seek will be under his agency. It will also mean that a relationship with him will be important and one that Paratici will cultivate, it will be remise of him in his position not to do so. To have a cordial relationship doesn't mean you have to buy his players or take his managers.

Watching this very closely and this season with a new manager and the coming and goings of players should give further indication of whether we have exorcised the demon or are embarrassing him.
 
I understand that ITK Hercules is not a popular man on this site (I am new here) but I am posting his "info" about the work relation between Levy & Paratici...



Hercules
D1 is correct!!!
Pissing off Ajax again! Dragging our feet! Loggerheads with manager DL wants, and who Paratici wants. I wonder who governs Paratici? Agent/s? Mase on standby to start Pre-season now, if we don’t appoint. I am holding out before I spill the beans FFS. Down to the financials with Ajax/ETH. Very realistic I let you know.
Why the heck appoint General manager, when you can’t see eye-eye? Absolutely ridiculous! And for the record, Para (Titti) also fancied Nuno. The Val geezer I can’t see for financial reasons (opinion).

I agree and am concerned, seems a really ill thought out appointment, getting off to an awful start, before he's even technically started.
 
Pondering how much that Amazon bollocks affected Poch’s final few months? Things were so dire and almost how much screen time was given to his 3 months in charge, maybe a 5 minutes mention of Poch ?
I don't think it would have affected Poch's mindset, just cemented it.

Poch: Daniel, you know I love you but you're going to have to start investing in the team, it's been too long now. I can't keep on doing this, it's a miracle we got so far, and I know you don't like me to talk about it but to lose dembele when we did...

Levy: Sorry, what? I wasn't listening, anyway, guess what? We're doing an Amazon documentary! Isn't that great! Just got the green light.

Poch: Fuck.

Levy: Yeah, cameras everywhere, it's going to be great. I get final say on the final edit ofcourse so don't worry. Also, probably shouldn't be talking about this yet but... do you like climbing? Diving? Wait, forget I said anything. Anyway, what were you saying about the ballet? Hang on, I've got to take this call, in fact, Janace will show you out, let's do lunch tho! Been great catching up.

I cant remember where i read it but apparently Poch asked for cameras to be installed on the training pitches and Levy said no. A couple of weeks later Levy told him about the Amazon cameras coming in for the next season. People wonder why Poch looked broken.
