Fabio Paratici - Consultant

[DubSpur]

Im sure City would sue us if we did that. The gardening leave is a legal condition of his resignation from them

Once he's not getting paid then he's not working. Levy and him can have conversations, very hard to prove anything and I doubt City would care.

 

[DubSpur]

Our DoF model has never really worked has it? One of the benefits has always been touted as “it’ll ensure continuity as the DoF will set the vision and will be in place long term whereas coaches will come and go.”

Arnesen went to Chelsea within a year
Comolli was gone within 2 after the Ramos experiment
Baldini spunked the Bale money on dross and was gone within a couple of years
Paratici looks like he’s as bent as Redknapp and is also gone within a couple of years

To be fair, on signings particularly, Arnesen and Paratici did well.

It's when we've made our best signings

 

[DeanoAustin]

It's when we've made our best signings

Yeah, that I can agree with. Just mean from the point of view of having someone stay in the position for a good number of years. Our DoFs have had the same shelf life as our managers.

I think we need someone with a strong connection to the club in the position. Someone who defines and advocates the identity of THFC. Yes that might mean an element of symbolism in the role and obviously would require a strong scouting network underneath but we need that anyway. I don’t think there’s any point in changing DoFs every couple of years.

 

[Lilbaz]

Saw a couple of mentions of munn. He is not a dof.

Whether we get another dof is a different question. Hope so. Guy from benfica maybe?

Comolli had the best record in the long term - bale and modric for starters

Everyone knew about Bale. Pleat forced it through. He said so last week on the podcast "Life Goals" with Theo Delaney.

 

[Lilbaz]

Comolli had the best record in the long term - bale and modric for starters

Bale was pleat and if we remember levy had to fly out and secure modric. There were pictures of them.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Bale was pleat and if we remember levy had to fly out and secure modric. There were pictures of them.

Yep

 

[DeanoAustin]

Bale was pleat and if we remember levy had to fly out and secure modric. There were pictures of them.

Didn’t Pleat also play a massive hand in Dele Alli?

Our DoF model has never really worked has it? One of the benefits has always been touted as “it’ll ensure continuity as the DoF will set the vision and will be in place long term whereas coaches will come and go.”

Arnesen went to Chelsea within a year

Baldini spunked the Bale money on dross and was gone within a couple of years
Paratici looks like he’s as bent as Redknapp and is also gone within a couple of years

To be fair, on signings particularly, Arnesen and Paratici did well.

Hence the Munn role over the DoF

Hopefully in that model, there is a consistent vision and a change in one doesn't reset the whole process.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Didn’t Pleat also play a massive hand in Dele Alli?

Couple of hookers and Levy could get him back in a flash.

 

[Lilbaz]

Didn’t Pleat also play a massive hand in Dele Alli?

Possibly. Think poch went to see him against utd.

Tbf none of us knows. I'd love levy to do an autobiography one day though.

 

[Gazza]

Didn’t Pleat also play a massive hand in Dele Alli?

And Gary doherty

 

[Gazza]

Possibly. Think poch went to see him against utd.

Tbf none of us knows. I'd love levy to do an autobiography one day though.

No way do I want to read that, it would be conflicting. Ahem poch

 

[Lemonade Money]

Didn’t Pleat also play a massive hand in Dele Alli?

Has Operation Yewtree been informed?

 

[Chrissivad]

Didn’t Pleat also play a massive hand in Dele Alli?

I think pleat had watched him a few times and recommended him to us

Club Statement - Fabio Paratici
Fri 21 April 2023, 08:10|Tottenham Hotspur



Yesterday - 20 April 2023 - Fabio Paratici was unsuccessful with an appeal against his Italian Football Federation (FIGC) ban on certain football related activities.

FIFA ruled to extend the ban worldwide and, whilst there continues to be a dispute as to the scope and extent of the ban, the current worldwide ban prevents Fabio from fulfilling his duties as our Managing Director of Football. Fabio has consequently taken the decision to resign from his position at the Club with immediate effect to focus on his legal position in respect of the FIGC and FIFA rulings.

Daniel Levy, Chairman: “This has been a stressful time for Fabio and his family. We wanted to ensure that we allowed for due process to be followed. Fabio is a man who lives and breathes football - we wish him well.

“As outlined in our year end results, we started several months ago to restructure our football operations and last week announced the appointment of Scott Munn as Chief Football Officer to head up all the departments. We shall continue to strengthen our football functions over the coming months.”

 

[tommysvr]

Oh well. Thanks for a couple of good signings.

 

[Mcfee]

Good. Draw a line under it and move on.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Good to finally have a decision made on it, can get on with things.

wish him all the best, thought he made some really good signings and even the ones that haven’t worked out so far (Perisic) you could see the logic behind.
