One problem is it appears Paratici is very linked to a particular agent and doesn't seem inclined to look beyond his clients. Maybe that was what derailed Fonseco. Wasn't affiliated with the right agent. When the last two managers at a team come from the same agency and the new Director of Football is aligned with that agent you begin to wonder how much flexibility there is to hire the best person for the job.Maybe, was my choice from the start and original poll tbh, was clear we needed a rebuild at the time, he knows and loves the club, is experienced with our academy, role model professional, all his teams try to play with the style I think we all miss etc.
I'd hope we'd already been sounding him out, but sure he wasn't a big enough name for some and 'Fulham got relegated'.
We are a massive club that he apparently loves, if we can't get a manager and ex-captain away from Bournemouth what's the fucking point really?!
Will be harder to tempt him away if/when they come up, but he's always been a favourite of mine. Would give anything for a player like him in the team now tbh.
I've been moaning about it since he got here. Why hasn't the club told him to shave it off?Is anyone else really annoyed by Nuno's terrible beard?
Why doesn't he just shave it off. Who told him that it looks good?

It would be a special kind of Spursy for us to fluke a win against United and have them flourish long term by sacking Olé in the aftermath and getting first pick of the managerial targets. Proper Tuchel shit, y'know?
Then again my suspicion would be that they'd go for Conté, so hardly someone we'd be tapping up to replace Nuno.
He looks like he’s been sleeping rough, perhaps he isI've been moaning about it since he got here. Why hasn't the club told him to shave it off?
I don't think players will be motivated by anybody that looks like a vagrant. He looks like a fucking bum, it's no wonder the players don't seem to have any interest in him.
:nunoteeth:
Ole Frodo will walk before Saturday, and I think Conte will be in charge. Meanwhile, we will be five and five under the Tramp
Ole won't walk - Woodward is cluelessOle Frodo will walk before Saturday, and I think Conte will be in charge. Meanwhile, we will be five and five under the Tramp
If we're insisting on more of Снелзеа's sloppy seconds, wait another season or 2 and we can get Tuchel.
Ole signed a new 3-year deal 2 months ago. Why on earth would he "walk"?Ole Frodo will walk before Saturday, and I think Conte will be in charge. Meanwhile, we will be five and five under the Tramp
The problem , well one of many , is that if we did manage to find someone who could make this team click & get them all performing. It’s always a short term fix , the lack of investment at critical times won’t happen & the squad will deteriorate as our “ ones for the future “ purchases rarely come good .The main issue we have is ENIC/Levy, not disputing that. But Redknapp and Poch showed you can do a decent job, play good football and be competitive even with the hinderance that Levy clearly is.
The players are running amok.
Is he? We've signed one Mendes client under Paratici, and that is Nuno.One problem is it appears Paratici is very linked to a particular agent and doesn't seem inclined to look beyond his clients.

That's like telling Mr. T to "lose the terrible mohawk".Is anyone else really annoyed by Nuno's terrible beard?

Because players are ignoring him and taking the piss out of him. He has no control or influence. Must be a horrendous working environmentOle signed a new 3-year deal 2 months ago. Why on earth would he "walk"?
