The two key questions here are whether the FIFA ban is suspended pending the new trial, and if the new trial has any hope of being resolved before the summer.
I assume the answers are "no" and "no", but those are just assumptions.
If those assumptions are true, surely this is over.

How does this not breach the terms of his contract.
Levy has a ton of experience firing people Seems like this should be the easiest!
If he's not dismissed tonight/ tomorrow then even by our standards its completely insane.
Regarding the cooking player valuation charges the issue has always been that you can't just punish one club. I am 100% that the books were cooked but for this to occur BOTH the sell and buying parties have to agree, therefore BOTH clubs are guilty of the charge. During the period of the investigation, I believe that it's supposed to be only 2 clubs that didn't trade with Juve. So that's practically the entire Legaue implicated!! Plus, there are at least half of the Clubs have also traded with each other on their own deals doing exactly the same thing!
I'm not sure if the other charges like COVID salaries are his remit or not.

I think a big part of the reason we're here is this would be a total mess. Another giant question mark atop the Kane and managerial ones.
IMO Gretar Steinsson should just step up from his role as second in command and keep the same structure and philosophy in place.
Fabio Paratici’s appeal against his ban from football in a case regarding the alleged inflation of capital gains from player trading has been rejected by the Italian Olympic Committee’s Board of Guarantors.
Tottenham Hotspur are aware of the latest developments in Italy and are now considering their response.

Paratici had his 30-month Italian FA (FIGC) ban extended worldwide by FIFA in March and subsequently stepped back from his role as Tottenham Hotspur managing director of football.
FIFA confirmed earlier this month that Paratici had lodged an appeal against the decision to widen the ban.
Paratici is one of 11 former Juventus executives who were banned from Italian football after the FIGC used new evidence gathered in a separate criminal investigation, known as Prisma, to reopen a case it lost last year.
Former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, who was banned for two years, and Federico Cherubini, the ex-sporting director who was banned for 16 months, chief executive Maurizio Arrivabene, who was banned for two years, have also had their appeals against their punishments rejected.
Former vice-president Pavel Nedved and director Enrico Vellano have had their appeals against eight-month bans accepted. These will now be heard by the Court of Appeal.
Juventus are accused of false corporate communications, false communications to the stock market and obstruction of a supervisory authority (CONSOB), with prosecutors alleging that transfer revenue was artificially inflated in a bid to balance their books.
All 11 deny any wrongdoing and an appeal against the FIGC sanctions will be heard by the Italian Olympic Committee this month.
Paratici joined Spurs in June 2021 and helped the club finish in the top four during the 2021-22 season.
He was set to lead Spurs’ efforts to identify a replacement for Antonio Conte, who left the club by mutual consent in March.
At this stage I might just hibernate until we stop being a joke.
Wake me up in 60 years.

Sounds to me like the lawyers are going to get richer. That’s going back into litigation I reckon.
His transfers have been ok and has apparently done a lot with the youth system and other departments but he lacks a football style.
Whole point of a DoF is to bring a clear direction, he went from Gattuso to Nuno to apparently now Luis Enrique, wrong set of managers for us and also scatter gun.
Next DoF needs to have a clear progressive coherent identity so we can begin to resemble City, Woolwich and Brighton in how we build a team rather than Boehy Chelsea or Dildo West Ham.
Glad he came but also glad he is going.
Suprise, suprise......
So few of these clown genuinely know what goes down in any situation.
Sick of these wasters.
In the meantime; this crap drags ooooooooooon...........
This crap isn't holding up any managerial appointment.
If whoever we wanted was ready to sign, they'd be in the dug-out by now........
