I hope the 2 km runs before each match, rigid 3-4-3 formation will be binned during his short tenure.

Isn't it slightly worrying that a 2km run left players feeling exhausted? Even at a relaxed pace it's going to be an 8 minute warm up. They should be able to handle that, no?

If Stellini gets us top 4 once let off the leash why not just keep him.

That would be no mean achievement at this point.

Let off the leash? He is Conte's understudy. Are people really expecting him to deliver massively different tactics and play style?

Yes but being his understudy doesn’t necessarily mean you agree with everything he does. I think we will all just have wait and see

Bloody hell, shows you the different level top clubs operate at. We'd have their arm off to be in the same position.

Well, the Bundesliga has historically been a bit of a one-horse race, but this season there have been 3 teams in it. So, couple Bayern having a bit of genuine competition for once, with him going on a skiing holiday a week before an important game, the team conceeding silly goals from winning positions, their scoring dropping off, the strong personalities in the management, and Touchel behing available, squeeky bum time took over and they pulled the trigger.

TBF they also sold Lewandoski and left him with Chopa Moting.....

Well TBF they signed Mane to replace Lewandoski but he hasn't scored for ages.

They signed the wrong African from LIverpool in that case.....is their head of scouting called Sven Hitzken........

Spurs have signed a pre-contractual agreement to sign 16 year old Manchester City academy forward Herbie James on a three-year deal.

Guess that means we can let Kane go now.

According to the Express, Conte got upset with not being able to buy defenders

[TEKNOPUG]

Upset? I was livid!

[Ascayman]

Playing based around 3 centre backs is quite challenging when you dont have any good ones so its hardly a surprise.

Finally some good news

Ding ding! All change please. All change.

Let's face it, the Paratici\Conte experiment has been a disaster. Get rid of the lot and start again.

[Terry Winks]

Yep, I don’t see this is a great loss, I mean the guys phone bill must have equalled Harry Kanes wages too. But who on earth is going to come into this position now? I don’t think I would even know where to start identifying good football operators. Managers is an easier gig.

[jammy-git]

The Monaco guy is set to leave Monaco in the summer, but I think he's already passed through Spurs once already?

FTFY. Child no.4 incoming...



Where does he find the time??

[juice]

He shoots...he scores !!

(obvious joke is obvious)

[TEKNOPUG]

I believe he needs to give his first born male to Levy in order to be released from the Spurs contract curse.

[happy fish]

Oh technoplug that is the best , most correct comment ever. At least he’s happy at home.

Spurs said:

Following media reports today regarding the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decision to extend worldwide the sanction imposed by the FIGC Federal Court of Appeals on Fabio Paratici on 20 January 2023, the Club made urgent enquiries to FIFA.

FIFA has late this afternoon responded to us in writing notifying us today, Wednesday 29 March 2023, that a decision has been made by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to extend the FIGC sanction worldwide.

This committee deliberation has been taken with no advance notice to any of the parties involved. We are urgently seeking further clarification from FIFA as to the details of the extension and its variance from the FIGC sanction.

We should like to make clear that when Fabio conducted the interview on Club channels yesterday neither he nor the Club had any indication of this decision being made by FIFA, based on the fact the the FIGC sanction was taken on 20 January 2023 and remains subject to an Appeal on 19 April 2023.

We shall update on this matter in due course.

He has. Him and Levy fell out the last time round, which is a shame given he signed players such as Dele, Son, Trippier and Alderweireld. Good enough that Red Bull were courting him to be their global head of recruitment.....
