Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

[Chrissivad]

We need someone in who can close deals.

But it's a dingdong move. Stuck by him through all his issues and leaves shortly after we give him a job again.

But we did get rid of the guy who hired him, and possibly change/cancel the project he came in for.

Clearly something going on at ownership level, so no real surprise we are seeing mixed performances on the pitch.

Baffling to me that some are thinking it’s all just Frank.

I don't think anyone has said it's all on Frank? All managers have to deal with issues upstairs, we can all make out ours are worse than others but the reality is we have no idea what's going on right now. And turbulence or no turbulence I don't see how that affects Franks tactics and selections, ability to pass a football etc.....

IMO it seems to fall inline with Levy’s departure. I think levy staying equals Fabio staying

Look in the Frank thread, some are talking about replacements already.

He’s only been here 5 minutes.

I think most likely he's been told the revised plan and funds available going forward and decided he doesnt want that on his CV

If a stint as Tottenham’s sporting director is seen as a worse stain on your CV than a 3 year worldwide ban then we’re really in deep brick.

Its perception, in Italy, no club will hire you if you haven’t been sanctioned for corruption at some point.

True. But i meant if he's been told he says needs to keep us in Europe for the next 3 seasons with a zero net spend, then that's the kind of thing that would cause him to walk

I imagine it's because he was levy's man
Screams of it being a mess behind the scenes though.

The problem is Paratici is the one guy amongst them with the credentials and ability to be able to fix the mess. The rest are all novices and small fry by comparison

This Fabio departure really strikes me as part of the re juggle behind the scenes post Levy. I would be intrigued to know what is happening. I do wonder if we end up in a situation where the Lewis try and run it like their other businesses but we all know you can’t run a FC club like other businesses. Parts of it you can but not the football side so much.

Nothing screams "we don't know what we're doing" quite like getting rid of the guy who turned that tin pot outfit into what we have today.

Getting rid of Levy is the worst thing ever to happen to this football club.

Should these current rumours be taken seriously, if Fabio goes nobody can do anything about it , more to the point if he was offered full control at Milan would he be interested in Fiorentina.

Rumour from earlier the year.
AC Milan promising Fabio Paratici full control at the club looks to have won them the race for the Italian sporting director ahead of Tottenham, sources have told Graeme Bailey

I would imagine that dispels the rumours. They look quite good spirited and chatty with each other
