He looks like a real idiot there.
Weird comments by Rio Ferdinand. At least give Paratici a chance to prove himself. Why hasn't he objected about Man Utd not having had an English manager since Ron Atkinson, back in 1986...?
'It's crazy' - Ferdinand claims Spurs should have hired PL man over Fabio Paratici - The Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News
Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur should have appointed Brighton’s technical director Dan Ashworth this summer. Tottenham instead looked abroad and appointed Fabio Paratici,...www.spurs-web.com
Ferdinand said: “If I was Spurs, I would have gone and got Dan Ashworth. Brighton fans will want to kill me.
“But that guy, meticulous, what he does with a shoe-string budget at Brighton, what he has done with England and all the young players coming through. Setting the blueprint there.
“Dan Ashworth, I would put him up there. It’s fashionable to go foreign now. To go and get foreign directors of football or technical directors when we have got a good few of them sitting here. It’s crazy.”

If we’ve a player who we don’t want yet they have no internet in moving on , sale or loan . It looks like we really can’t do a thing about it . I mean winks should be willing to prove himself in the championship or perhaps abroad but he just seems happy to take his £50k & get minimal game time . We’ve got a handful of players who seem to have very little motivation to prove themselves
well i don't think our manager has managed our senior deadwood at all he has just left them out, so they will not play well for him when called into the teamI think a lot of teams are in this position. It makes it interesting this season actually because we all know a few bad apples can destroy a squad and help the manager lose his job. This season could be a lot down to how each club’s manager is good man management wise in keeping the deadwood in their squads happy.
Is he actually doing anything better than what we had before?
We seem to be even slower in the market since he joined than before. Last summer transfer window we’d bought most of our players in by now. I am not impressed so far. We haven’t sold a single player we really needed to.

We need to tell them they're not getting a squad number , they're not getting a game and they need to find a new club.The players we need to sell are really bad. Not easy to find takers until we get to the last days of the window and teams get desperate.
