But that's something Levy should have checked BEFORE the contracts were done, surely as our chairman who has the "best interests of the club at heart" this is something he should have asked about or investigated before contracts?
Regardless, apparently it isn't even about taxes now, it's just a choice Levy has made.
You're fucking kidding me....
DECISION BASED ON WHAT?
There’s no tax issueWhy should he expect that the agent shouldn't do his job?
There is no reason for Levy to think that Fonseca and his agent are some dumb that they didn't know the tax situation or look into it when moving countries. That is not Levy's job at all.
There is no reasonable expectation that Levy should have to do the job of the agent. This tax issue is 100% on the agent and Fonseca.
Thought we got rid of that Mendes cunt along with Mourinho....
There’s no tax issue

Levy's job is to protect our club, whilst the issue still falls on the agent and the Fonseca Levy should still be doing checks himself to make sure the club doesn't look like a clown show.Why should he expect that the agent shouldn't do his job?

Suits Levy perfectly doesn't it? It's almost like this has all been designed so Levy can avoid taking blame for failure because he knows we aren't spending any money whatsoever to improve our position as a football club, the purse strings are pulled tight and a DOF can shoulder all the blame when it goes tits up.Levy gave our new DoF free reign on this, so it's on Paratrici. However, as I said when Paratici was first rumored to join, his reputation on manager appointment is questionable.
Apologists have been spinning positive on Fonseca, and now Paratrici just gave them the middle finger for their support.
You mean Paratici, feel very sorry for Fonseca, probably getting excited to work with us and our players, wasn't my first choice but when you look at what he can do you can see why he was pickedhe treated fonseca like a piece of shit. levy is a cunt
We will see about that, people already blaming the DOF lol.I don't think anyone is

Also, there is every reason to think the bolded as a chairman of a football club who has the best interests of the club in mind.
To use an analogy, just like when you get into a vehicle, assume everyone else on the road is an idiot so you can increase your odds of avoiding an accident, that's what a sensible person does.
