If either one of these is true he should be shown the door same time as Nuno

Levy is a cunt, but he doesn't always hold the right people accountable. Why does Hitchen still have a job?
that's two strikes now for Paratici, next one and he's outta here
Did I get that right Americans?

True, but also if he’s dealt with it swiftly and then bags conte he has possibly redeemed himself. Admittedly the board would have to have sanctioned both those steps and possibly influenced them.
Would be interesting to know if paratici would have stuck with Nuno.
I think our signings were half decent considering the minimal budget and previous years fuck ups
Well it was Paratici's pick so he has to own it and take the blame.
his first choice was antonio conte, but levy preferred someone cheaper
Not one of them has come in and made a tangible improvement to our starting 11
Still relatively early days but I don't think any of them can be considered decent at this point
let's see with conte..
Not being utter shit is an improvement on PEH, Doherty etc and the legacy of the few years prior
See lots of criticism for Paratici in this thread. But he's been here 5 minutes/1 window, and in my mind there are already several good signs.
1. Conte - absolutely no chance we get him without Paratici. In fact it's mad he's seemingly coming to us given the state of our squad.
2. Romero - again Paratici crucial to this signing, and a sign he can bring top players even when we aren't top 6.
3. Gil, Sarr - they may or may not work out but there's no doubt they were very highly rated when we bought them. Both full internationals and way more exciting than the likes of Clarke and Sessegnon who we were buying before.
Conte was always Paratici's first choice. Nuno was 4th or 5th. Now we have a DoF and manager in synch we have much better chances of building something good.

His link with Conte is crucial, not only in getting Conte to sign for us, but making it actually work with him here. He will, hopefully, really have Conte's back and bring in the players he needs to be successful here.
On top of this the fact he's been able to convince him to join mid-season is even more incredible, something he's said he wouldn't do.
As usual there are always a few positives but I would say the negatives easily outweigh the positives, especially when you look at his history at Juve.
1. Nuno can be his 200th choice, it sure looks like it was his idea to bring in Nuno and have a more pragmatic focus. Even if it was his 4/5th choice the guys in front of him outside of Conte which any of us could have picked, were terrible as well.
2. Not addressing so many of our issues is inexcusable. Yes Romero looks good but no RW, no creative MF, only one CB, no starting level RB and no back-up striker meant we had an absolute shit summer.
Paratici is still far in the negative in terms of his job so far at Spurs.
