Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

[Finney Is Back]

Very strange one this. I can't help but wonder whether we had to appoint him as our DoF due to some sort of deal that we had done because he was basically working for us as our DoF during his ban in all but contract?

 

[Mcfee]

Are we all in agreement he is the worst dressed man to come out of Italy?

Definitely the worst since Samuele Allardici.

 

[Yiddo]

He’s overrated, the players everyone are complaining about week in and week out are ones he helped bring in.

I think he just saw our new austerity era budget and has scarpered

Par for those types, history littered with blokes like him in the game

That feels likely.

Bloke alwyas wanted bigger job, was tinkled he was overlooked previously for Munn, post ban comes back for a made up role, and is now off for the job level his ego craved.

Don't blame him. He had a seriously big job at Juve and had done the hard yards to get there over a decade or so of promotions.

I don't dislike the guy but we do seem to be in a phase at the club where everyone is analysing everything about the way it is run. In reality, it's probably not being run that badly at all. Progress isn't linear but I do think we will see progress moving forward based on the moves we're making with the squad.

Yeh you may well be right.

Im just not overly bothered about him beyond comments on here, just that I think he got more out of our deal than we did considering the ban and all

I've only seen a few elite teams have a sustained period of transfer purchases that was transformational in the last 20 years or so. Klopp's Pool spring to mid. We all know the story.

For me, this squad is night and day from the ones we had under Jose, Nuno, Conte etc. The squads we've seen evolving under Ange and Frank do give me confidence that these other roles at the club have done some great work behind the scenes in a difficult landscape. We're not purchasing at the levels Pool did with Salah, Mane, VVD, Robbo, Wijhnaldum, Allison etc but some of it is going right for us especially with these younger players.

Perhaps I'm just naive

I'd get rid of Lange as well and start prepping Ben Davies for the DOF role.

Fasttrack Vertoghen and Lloris into the boardroom too, now their playing careers are coming to an end. Go the full Bayern/Ajax route

Yeh i get that and honestly a post for a much longer reply, my point being after the ban he was lucky we showed him loyalty and he has gone fairly soon,
With that sod of it, im not fussed, I think he was lucky we gave him a route back is all

Munn was just the patsy that was on the paperwork while Paratici was doing the deals as a ‘consultant’ I think.

I said at the time that Munn had no business being at THFC, I think he was happy to get our name on his CV while doing what Paratici told him.

Despite early promise though Fab did very little of note

As I say, not losing any sleep about him going
