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....
 
We can't take it for granted that a dof means that he will be handling all football matters. Levy could be hiring him as a mouthpiece and henchman, to distance himself from the rising negativity that he is facing.

The writing was on the wall when we hoped that JM could change things, but levey didn't give him the players he wanted and sacked him a week from a cup final. What do you think Jose would say about spurs in the managerial circle?

Hard to say what the truth is now but the longer we don't have a manager the worse our preparation for next season.

Back to square one, having burned our bridges with Fonseca. Who next? Some other Italian nobody?

Massively relieved if it's true... but fudge me what a mess of a manager search and our DOF looks like a bit of a dingdong.
 
If Gattuso was his serious pick as manager he's probably a terrible choice as a DoF.

But....I will wait and see and judge based on what he actually does do while in the job.

Yes, his job is more important than the manager's in the next 12-24 months
 
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 gonads but I suppose he gets at least a bonus point for recognising the defence is brick!

I saw this, again the worry would be how far discussions got etc.

Also Paratici's special move at the moment seems to be looking down the Serie A table and seeing what managers and players are available. Next he'll be saying he hates January's.
 
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.

Yes its a way of making me feel better i suppose. I am totally convinced that Levy/ Hitchen / PR person has other ambitions than building a CL winning team. I also think that if Levy does not go, change will not come until he removes his cronies i.e. Hitchen and that PR person. DoF + Manager are outnumbered and not enough to change things.
