I think he's a complete wet wipe, looks out of his depth as well but he wasnt responsible for Johnson. Paratici scouted him a lot and we got him when Gabbanini was running things probably on Paraticis say so. Lange is absolutely cuplable for Solanke, 18 months of Werner and having 4 wingers that prefer playing off the left. He should have also told Munn and Levy to sack Postecoglou months ago and it should have been a resignation issue if he had an ounce of pride.

Lange didn't sign Johnson.
Why did Levy fire Paul Mitchell again?
It's not a coincidence that Newcastle have won their first trophy with him directing their transfer policy.
Lange lol....

Lange lol....
he quit, probably got tired of Levy's fucking loser mentality
Didn't Mitchell and Poch start butting heads over transfers? Poch wanted more say and Mitchell just wanted to stick to his formula.
At least that's how I remember it.
No, it was Levy and Mitchell. The latter got fed up of not getting targets. Think it came to a head with not getting Batshuayi, who obviously turned out crap anyway.

From the scumbag at the top to the bloke who puts the cones out they are all responsible
Genuinely think Solanke is part of the worst team to be playing centre forward for in the league. His role seems exclusively to make sacrificial runs for our wide men and midfielders.
If we get a manager in who actually has players picking up the ball in conventional positions and looking for the striker we could see a completely different player. Lord knows when we last looked for Solanke on his head with a standard cross from a winger. Or the last time a midfielder picked up the ball in a normal #10 position and looked for a ball through the middle rather than out wide.

Makes sense always felt Lange had a different role to Paratici
Paratici - overall decision maker, politician, contract guy
Lange - running the scouting and data stuff.
Correct
After that Poch threw a strop over the hiring of another DoF (roughly 12 months after Poch first hired) so Spurs had no DoF for about 5 years until after Poch was fired - only had a Chief Scout (Hitchens) to work with Poch. Poch/Hitchens not a good combo at choosing players to buy
Massive mistake mitchell leaving. Rated him very highly.
Him and Levy CLASHED
According to Gab Marcotti, it was actually Poch who clashed with Mitchell.
Lange built most of that Villa squad. Judge a DOF on different time scales
Tbh Lange discovered Bergvall. Has credit in the bank for that imo. Whoever discovered van der ven needs a 5 year contract. What a player he is.

If Lange can stick to his vlookups and Fab scouts real players for the first team, that could work.

'it has been suggested that Mitchell clashed with Levy' not that he did to the extent Mitchell left, and doesn't comment on Poch trying to expand his empire into recruitment.
BTW Mitchell has since moved job every year or couple of years since, suggesting he was not going to stay long unless he got whatever he wanted, which is tricky in many large companies
