Maybe this delay in appointing a manager isn't such a bad thing.
If you were Paratici, newly appointed DoF, wouldn't you want to review a few things before you started making decisions ? Like:
- Watching a few Spurs games from the last couple of seasons
- Spending some days with the analytics and recruiting people to consider the current playing staff and potential recruits
- Reading som player contracts
- Devising a master plan for like "everything" -> playing style, manager, finances, players in/out etc.
- Discussing this plan with Levy and others to try to get some buy-in and maybe some support (not least with the finances)
