I'm starting to have doubts about this guy. Do we even need him if we're just going to let Mendes decide who we sign and who our manager is?

Well, he did think it a good idea to appoint Pirlo last year, so....
Phew.
Back to square one, having burned our bridges with Fonseca. Who next? Some other Italian nobody?
That’s my worry with Paratici - his black book of contacts / players only stretches as far as Italy.
And his lack of a track record in signing the type of player (age, price) which we're likely to go after
So chairman and DOF, disagree with the first appointment, looks like this will last.
If Gattuso was his serious pick as manager he's probably a terrible choice as a DoF.If the DOF really wanted Guttuso then I'm very glad Levy disagreed.

But....I will wait and see and judge based on what he actually does do while in the job.
There's another tweet somewhere today that said Fonseca and Paratici disagreed on where to focus our rebuild. Fonseca wanted to bring in attackers and Paratici said we needed to focus on rebuilding the defence first. Could be gonad*s but I suppose he gets at least a bonus point for recognising the defence is brick!
What if the club's PR is playing tricks with us.
Perhaps its Southgate or Martinez and the delay is for the euros to be over.
Meanwhile its all these managers - all of whom might be under a non-disclosure agreement when discussions start - to get a sensing and perhaps create a soft-landing for the chosen one.
It's much more reassuring to construct theories like these than to accept that the people running Tottenham are incompetent.
This is the reason people believe in the Illuminati rather than accept the world is a random out of control mess.
