Trix:
Not gone yet, but my personal opinion is he's not going to be here for the weekend. Too much being said behind the scenes.
Go on, admit it, you want an ITK to be right for once...
I do think its partly that but also Paratici, who by all accounts doesnt want Poch at all. Levy really has screwed this, the fans want Poch, Levy and the board not sure so sitting around with their thumbs up their arse like 2021, Paratici probably wants some subservient nobody but he might be sacked in 3 weeks anyway. What a well run club we are.
Paratici who doesn't coach the players, work on formations and tactics. He sounds slightly annoying if i'm honest. I really feel a DOF is the right structure, but one so wedded to 'his' style and 'his' players, is that somewhat limiting? Have we shot ourselves in the foot?
We never learn.
Our board are deluded.

If the Global Ban is upheld he won't get a penny.I think it's more Paratici TBH. Poch doesn't want a DoF, Paratici probably doesn't want Poch. Paratici will have to be sacked at some expense
Business as usual weekend lined up in the Cretinous goat household then ?Paratici can rim my crusty bunghole.
I don’t want Poch (love him, just don’t think it would work).What's the problem with this?
Not ex-Chelsea so that's a plus, as far as I know he has a reputation of implementing an attacking style, and could be wrong but has been pretty successful with it at the clubs he's managed hasn't he?
Is it just that you now feel that Poch is the only answer?
Don't get me wrong, I'd bite your hand off to have Poch in the dugout this weekend, however that's a reflection of the sorry state of affairs at Spurs right now, not that he is the be all and end all.
when is that appeal likley to conclude? I can't help but feel it will drag on. If Levy is waiting for that, as a justification for sacking then it's risky.It wont be expensive if his appeal fails. You cant have a DoF who is banned. Even if not he only has 12 months on his contract come summer.
Don’t want bloody Enrique. Another “big” name who’s only real success was at Barcelona where every manager eventually ends up successful there such is the ease of that job. No thanks. It’s Pochettino or nobody.
Reports earlier this week said something about how we are due an update at the end of the month.when is that appeal likley to conclude? I can't help but feel it will drag on. If Levy is waiting for that, as a justification for sacking then it's risky.
If he'd only managed Barcelona and Spain then I'd see your point completely, but didn't he also do pretty well with Roma, relatively speaking?I don’t want Poch (love him, just don’t think it would work).
Enrique is an excellent manager but he is used to working with an entirely different calibre of player. So we would lurch from a manager who doesn’t want us to have the ball to a manager who never wants us to let go it. Our players aren’t good enough. We also don’t press.
He’d be gone within 18 months. He’s interested because it’s a payday.
I’d like to see us take a risk with someone like Kompany. Or Carrick for that matter.
Harold Shipman was a good footballer i heard........so 17 years as a professional footballer, 38 caps for his country and 500 games for his only club - and one (admittedly revolting) incident and you brand his opinions as worthless?
good for you
I saw the end of this month. Has to be this season as it also includes Juve's 15 pt deduction.when is that appeal likley to conclude? I can't help but feel it will drag on. If Levy is waiting for that, as a justification for sacking then it's risky.
I like his enthusiasm and that he's vested in the games, and a DOF to run the footballing side to remove Levy was/is the correct choice. But Paratici has always seemed a bit slimly, like he has small hands and a limp handshake.I always felt we appointed the wrong type of DoF. We're not Juve and we're not meant to play negative football. We should have followed a Salzburg, Leipzig, Dortmund model.
