72% of TFC wanted Conte..... Are you saying Levy is a crowd pleaser?
The player recruitment has been excellent and I would actually like him to carry on in his consultancy role. I don't see any point in getting a new DoF who may not be as good. We have staff to oversee the business side of things and make sure nothing dodgy goes on and Paratici no longer has any executive power so I don't see a problem.
8/10
No, I’m saying he’s an incompetent, aloof imposter
But on topic, no chance your megalomaniac fuhrer delegates manager choice to Paratici
Assuming he is the architect of this year’s window:
He’s been good with incomings. He’s unearthed some decent talent at relatively modest prices — mostly from leagues familiar to him. He’s also wasted £50m on Richarlison and is yet to bring in anything close to a Modric or Bale level of player.
As he was at Juventus, he’s been terrible at moving players along. I know that the players have the upper hand here but it’s part of the business on which he still should be judged.
I would give him an ‘incomplete’ on his managerial appointments. We know that the Nuno debacle is on him. However, I’m not blaming the fan appeasement appointment of Wiggy on him. I’m getting positive BMJ vibes from Ange so maybe we’re on track there too but we wasted three plus years trying to get this right. With the right project manager appointment on Day One, we would be further along and, who knows, might still be cheering Kane in an Tottenham shirt.

Yeah and PochSo that means that Ange was Levy's choice as well.
Looking at his career as a whole, he clearly has an eye for a player.
Not necessarily a trustworthy CEO of the whole operation of a football club in a number of ways, but his scouting ability is a great value.

And Redknapp. Shall I make another list?
One of the best lines in cinema "I made him an offer he couldn't refuse."
3rd youngest (average) starting eleven (24.6 years old) in the PL the first 2 matchweeks this season.
6th youngest (average) squad (25.4 years old) in the PL this season.
Last season, we were the 6th oldest (average) squad (25.4 years old) in the PL, with the 3rd oldest (average) starting eleven (27.5 years old).
Lloris and Dier leaving would lower our average even more.
Significant improvement.

Enough with the Mafia references please. That’s cultural stereotyping.
Everybody knows there is no mafia.

Spent a summer during my university years at a US friend’s place on Long Island in the (mostly old monied ) town that was used as the model for East Egg.
Got picked up one night to drive into the City to go clubbing by her friend who lived in ‘West Egg’. I cracked a Mafia joke during the ride and my friend kicked me hard under the seat.
It turned out that our driver’s father was an Italian-American who ran a vending machine company. He had sent his family out to dinner one night and when they returned home they found him neatly trussed up with a bullet behind his ear. It rather traumatized the children but the family were well provided for and the floral tributes were quite magnificent, I’m told.
I’ll give him a 7 for performance (prob an 8 for recruitment but much lower grade for outgoings) and a 1 for availability for, ya know, getting fucking banned from football and having to resign, being unable to speak to other clubs and negotiate with them, and being forced into a backroom role.
So split the difference I’ll go a 3.

Solid 8 to 8.5 for recruitment for me. If he's also being judged on managerial appointments, that would obviously drop somewhat, but as no one can agree on whether it's him or Levy responsible for that, then I'm leaving it out.
So an 8 in the vote, but I'd go to 8.5 personally.
I don't give a shit about his past shenanigans with Juve, it's what he's doing with us that matters.
