I googled him and had a look at the first page links (I speak Italian). He sounds like an average football journalist, with all the BS that comes with it.
Not saying that 100% it won't happen, but I would be extremely surprised if we got Gattuso

If someone at the club sees his iffy comments, particulaly about women in football surely they couldn't go ahead with it? Whatever your views, for a club trying to promote and improve the womens side surely its a non starter.
It's happening for sure
This is the only hope the deal gets scuppered
This is a view that has repeatedly aged well.
Last 2 jobs were in China & Newcastle.... That's his level now.... This is a great offer for him..... We'd be even more of a boon.
With Conte or Poch we were never in advanced negotiations.
With Fonseca, we genuinely were very close to signing him, but Paratici's first choice Gattuso became available due to freak circumstances, and we've opted for him instead.
And now the negotiations are advanced.
The only way this deal doesn't go ahead is if Spurs discover his offensive rhetoric and back down. I can't think of any other reason.
Why are you saying that? I mean, I am 100% sure that we are talking to Gattuso, but what makes you sure that we will get him?
But why would that matter? Journalists will always play guessing games when it comes to managerial appointments. I don't see what difference it makes if they're publishing stories when they've been doing it all summer.
halcyon days...
This is making Venky's look competent.
Not 100%, as I just explained above, but 95% certain.
We dropped out of Fonseca talks because we wanted Gattuso instead. That's a huge indicator.
That's the first reason why I think it won't happen
I'm not on twitter but I hope someone has triggered a drive to bombard the club on that front.

Are ITK's like zombies where if one bites you you turn into one?
Why go for Italian or Portuguese bargain bin managers when we could look closer to home and go for cheap options like Howe or even Parker.
Honestly if we are struggling so badly to attract elite managers wouldn't you take Howe over Gattuso?
Yeah I may be looking for something that isn't there but I've been saying this since just as the season ended iirc. There was a Belgian journo who out of nowhere tweeted that Martinez had been offered a Spurs contract, he was the one Levy wanted. It gained very little publicity because all the Poch and then Conte talk started.. Levy is very good friends with the agent of Martinez, it's very possible the 3 of them could keep a deal secret.
Tbh I wanted Potter, I'd even accept Howe or Parker if we can't attract elite coaches as you say
Not happened yet. No social media campaign really against Gattuso for his offensive comments, but Spurs fans just seem to be giving up hope in general.
I'm not a ITK, but I do trust Alasdair Gold.
