I mean, that's one of the main reasons for a DoF.Levy’s bringing in Paratici so that he can have someone to blame and sack, instead of himself, when the next manager fails
Are they holding off officially announcing Paratici because they think it wouldn't look good to do so before getting the new manager in?
Silly if so. They've been bombarding us with social media fluff for the last two weeks that have made us look clownish while the world and his wife knows we're flailing around.
Later this week?Tottenham to confirm Paratici arrival
Tottenham are expected to confirm Fabio Paratici as their new sporting director later this week.www.bbc.co.uk
Fixed...There are some chancers on twitter saying that he is already started working on deals to sell guys but I doubt that.
Later this week?
Good thing there's no hurry from the club's end to get this stuff all sorted out.
There is no rush, most of the players we are interested in should be gone to our rivals soon anyways.
Just to add, I suspect Gold's piece means that we will not be signing any Inter players this summer, regardless of whether Conte gets the head coach gig or not.
As Marotta says, it's "personal" with Paratici.
Yes we have 2 proven talent spotters out of work, both known for finding bargains and buying younger players but it feels we've gone for the 'cor this guy was at Juventus' option. He may turn out to be good but his recent record hardly inspires confidence and again it feels the wrong fit for what we are.Anyone else feel like this appointment only made sense when in conjunction with Conte coming in as manager?
With Conte having seen sense I'd have preferred Rangick or Campos coming in as DoF, rather than the guy that spunked £400k per week all over Aaron Ramsay's face...
