There's holes in every position , gaping holes at that
It's marginal if it is
He's no great loss
Yeah, but none of them made us worse...which I guess is progress...
Have to agree. Not been convinced by him tbh.
On a random note, wasn't that guy in The Last Kingdom?
There is absolutely no chance Paul Mitchell will work under Daniel Levy again. Hell will freeze over first.
Romero, Sarr in his appearances, Forster is our best keeper on a free great recruitment, Perisics attacking output on a free has been great and will do better further forward, Udogie is great recruitment
It's a bit reverse order but it can work. You just have to involve the manager in the recruitment process to make sure that they vibe.New DOF to come in, sounds like not before the new manager though. Always a farce with Spurs.
Spurs seek external Paratici replacement as Levy faces manager decision
Paratici has quit as Spurs’ managing director of football after his 30-month ban was upheld in Italywww.standard.co.uk
The club is aiming to replace Paratici with an external candidate, who will report to incoming chief football officer Scott Munn, who is due to start on July 1, when his gardening leave with City Football Group ends.
Ideally, Paratici's replacement would have a leading say on the identity of the new head coach but Spurs are reluctant to delay their search for a new manager, with Chelsea also recruiting in the same market and a number of leading European clubs likely to be looking for a change in the summer.
Yep. Despite Levy’s constant barking about “look at how much we’ve spent, it clearly doesn’t equal success”, it’s hard to think of the start of a season in recent memory where we could look at our squad and think yep, we’re a whole lot stronger going into this season than we were last year.
And that includes any of Pochettino’s seasons, the best manager we’ve had in the Premier League era. In not one of his seasons did we go in thinking our squad is significantly better than the previous season.
It’s just a shocking indictment.
Erm. Our squad was definitely better in 16/17 than it was the previous season.
People claiming that Munn is just some "marketing geezer" that doesn't know football or sports when he has worked in sports for two decades is pretty funny.
Why have people decided to turn on the guy before he even gets a chance to start his job? Christ.

Oh he is a marketing geezer involved in sports! Nrl Aussie rules the Olympics.... Oh and Melbourne???
You are so right. Munn another fucking bean counter Funny how Lex Levy can get these appointments over the line quick as a flash. His priorities are clear.
....Oh god...the bots! There coming!!!!!!!
And how is that different than most other clubs? There's marketing geezers/bean counters in charge more or less everywhere. Van der Sar at Ajax is a outlier and had to work his way up the organisation. He didn't just get the job because he "knew football".
It's counterproductive to turn on the dude before he has had a chance to even start his job.
Must be exhausting doing the mental gymnastics to continually support this regime, yet a few die hards on here refuse to accept the war is over.
This man must go before this club can move forward, the sooner we get everyone on board with that the better for the club.
2 years he was at the club, he was responsible for the signings who came in in which the vast majority have been positive.
The current state of the squad isn't 100% down to him, if you're bemoaning previous players that weren't signed under his tenure then why is he to blame? If you expect those players to be sold then you need to get real - we are still suffering from the previous poor recruitment where we have a maximum number of players out on loan that we need to get rid of.
The fact that we don't have a creative mid isn't down to him, blame the manager who didn't want one, same for CB's blame the manager who was totally inflexible in his targets.
So far so good IMO he bought in some good players who the next manager would be happy to work with, youngish players with potential who you can actually work with which is a far cry from the likes of Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon type transfers.
He ain't mean to be doing marketing with us....... Out of depth does not even come close to describing the appointment...
Paratici's legacy is Bentancur and getting shot of a few players for nothing that cost us millions.

People here have been banging on about Barber at Brighton...... He fits the same "marketing suit" profile as Munn FFS.
