I don't know to be honest. I'm just pointing out what one of our resident Spurs fans wrote.Hasn't he worked with Paul Mitchell before?

@InLevyITrust suggested that Pochettino doesn't want to work with a DoF. So how will things play out in that regard if we appoint one then try and lure Pochettino here to work in a system he doesn't care for? I know this is all ifs and buts, but the club must have some idea who they want as manager next season.
He wasn’t a DOF with us though, he was basically a head scout, Poch joined us as a head coach and it notable that he is now manager of Tottenham.Hasn't he worked with Paul Mitchell before?
Very much this. This kind of hierarchy is completely normal and that is what we need right now, something that other managers around the world are familiar with and understand well.People being dismayed at the DOF having to report to Woodward, his superior, is textbook Redcafe nonsense.
I only shared this due to it being a good read regards a DoF. But what stood out for me in the article was how highly Zorc thought of Monchi who is currently at Roma.he will also likely be retiring at the end of his latest contract which he signed last year.
He is Dortmund born and bred, he isn't going anywhere. He's been with the club his whole adult life (and a few years before)!
Interesting that Morratta has just taken the sporting director job at Inter as I had an inkling he could of teamed up with Allegri at United, with Morratta coming first then Allegri end of the season the timing would of been right but guess not.
I’m wondering if we’l pay the rumoured £40m to prise Poch away from Spurs I cant see it after the Mourinho pay off, my head tells me it will be Allegri at the end of the season, ive had a look through the article I’ve linked and there’s some interesting names amongst it, I’m narrowing it down to 3 but I could be way off bertra, monchi or ragnick from Leipzig

That's cool!I only shared this due to it being a good read regards a DoF. But what stood out for me in the article was how highly Zorc thought of Monchi who is currently at Roma.
Let them clutch away. We’ll see what happens in the summer.Hasn't he worked with Paul Mitchell before?
Maybe as he has not really ties to the English clubs like he has to Italy, France or Spain...why is Zidane's name not being mentioned enough? I feel like he's proper DOF material.
Should we hire someone else to hire a DOF because you don't 'trust' Woodward to do it or something? Who do 'trust' to do this mighty task at the club then?Who trust Woodward to get this right?
I trust him to get the sponsorships but getting the right people?
People being dismayed at the DOF having to report to Woodward, his superior, is textbook Redcafe nonsense.
People just need someone else or some other explanation to rationalise why their favorite manager is failing. Most of it just sticks. Now people even want us to have Saudi owners just to get away from the evil WoodwardI can't believe adults somehow believe Woodward 'meddles' with the football side of our club. He doesn't. It's complete nonsense.
It's quite comical really. All we can blame Woodward for is hiring the wrong managers and not getting rid of them quickly enough when they were failing.People just need someone else or some other explanation to rationalise why their favorite manager is failing.

That's a big culpability to be honest even if you believe that alone.It's quite comical really. All we can blame Woodward for is hiring the wrong managers and not getting rid of them quickly enough when they were failing.
Was just about to post this!Good article including some info on Paul Mitchell.Tweet

True. What im saying is that we should blame him for the mistake he's made to cause this mess instead of all these false claims. Diagnosing what's wrong is important in us finding the right solutions that will have us heading in the right direction.That's a big culpability to be honest even if you believe that alone.
That would mean that if he rated Chong he wouldn't sign a right winger; and we couldn't afford to that. Having faith in the academy is great and all but the first team is the priority.Liked this bit a lot: "It is said that if Mitchell is confident of a promising prospect coming through a club's academy, he won't sign an established player to potentially block their route to the first team".
Winger often subbed in 70-80 minutes, if we get RW who is probably 27 years old or more, could be great for Chong and Greenwood's development when they get sub minutes, ready to take over RW as soon as they reach 21-22.That would mean that if he rated Chong he wouldn't sign a right winger; and we couldn't afford to that.

Or just play Chong if he rated him like that. Or play Sanchez there until Chong is readyThat would mean that if he rated Chong he wouldn't sign a right winger; and we couldn't afford to that. Having faith in the academy is great and all but the first team is the priority.

Yeah I read it as not buying another young talented prospect. So you could rule out someone like Ousmane DembeleWinger often subbed in 70-80 minutes, if we get RW who is probably 27 years old or more, could be great for Chong and Greenwood's development when they get sub minutes, ready to take over RW as soon as they reach 21-22.
No, it means that he would sign a right winger that will fit a time frame that will allow Chong to get into the team. For example if you have a 19 years old winger, it's best to sign someone in his late 20s than its early 20s.That would mean that if he rated Chong he wouldn't sign a right winger; and we couldn't afford to that. Having faith in the academy is great and all but the first team is the priority.
Even then do people really believe it's just his own choice? We have a board with SAF and Charlton on to say the leastThat's a big culpability to be honest even if you believe that alone.
it's that kind of short sightedness that's got us in this position. It would be refreshing for the club to have a long term strategy rather than the scatter gun approach we've had over the last 7 yearsThat would mean that if he rated Chong he wouldn't sign a right winger; and we couldn't afford to that. Having faith in the academy is great and all but the first team is the priority.
He's the man in charge and so it goes on his record that he hired 3 managers that played crap football, wasted a ton of money and had no coherent plan in the last 6 years.Even then do people really believe it's just his own choice? We have a board with SAF and Charlton on to say the least
I do not recall that ever happening.it's that kind of short sightedness that's got us in this position. It would be refreshing for the club to have a long term strategy rather than the scatter gun approach we've had over the last 7 years
Besides you hear other big clubs neglect signing players in a certain position because they know they have a cert in their academy all the time
There's nothing short-sighted about improving a position currently held by Lingard, it's a necessity.it's that kind of short sightedness that's got us in this position.

If we go and spend 80m on a right winger whether Chong is good enough becomes irrelevant, he's only ever going to then get a game if that 80m right winger flopsThere's nothing short-sighted about improving a position currently held by Lingard, it's a necessity.
It's possible that Chong will be a great player (and I certainly hope that he will be) but that's (most likely) years away, if ever, and the club can't afford to wait around. If he's good enough he'll make it.
More like he wouldn't fill the squad with players. The young player could be a second choice.That would mean that if he rated Chong he wouldn't sign a right winger; and we couldn't afford to that. Having faith in the academy is great and all but the first team is the priority.
Exactly. Also play when the incumbent is injured.Winger often subbed in 70-80 minutes, if we get RW who is probably 27 years old or more, could be great for Chong and Greenwood's development when they get sub minutes, ready to take over RW as soon as they reach 21-22.

Felt Jose was gone the moment I saw Sir Bobby Charlton with Ed.Even then do people really believe it's just his own choice? We have a board with SAF and Charlton on to say the least
And I'm all for that, that's where he should be frankly. I'm not for us opting not to sign players and just relying on Chong and Lingard on that right side though.More like he wouldn't fill the squad with players. The young player could be a second choice.
As opposed to other big clubs whose every managerial appointments are resounding successes?That's a big culpability to be honest even if you believe that alone.
if chong develops to the required level, then the winger can be sold but not buying what the team needs on the basis of a youth prospect is a recipe for mediocrity and failure.If we go and spend 80m on a right winger whether Chong is good enough becomes irrelevant, he's only ever going to then get a game if that 80m right winger flops
Probably have a better record than Woody has done.As opposed to other big clubs whose every managerial appointments are resounding successes?
Probably have a better record than Woody has done.
A big club who have not signed up to 3 shit managers? Personally my main issue with him is keeping his failed managers for far too long. If he was more proactive we'd have hired more than 3 managers by now and hopefully got us more success,he deserves all the criticism he gets for thatProbably have a better record than Woody has done.
That's crazy talk. The obvious plan is sell Lingard, buy a quality first option. The issue is though, we have no business filling our squad with expensive squad options when we have the quality coming through. For example, we have lots of pricy midfielders who are barely better players than Peirera.And I'm all for that, that's where he should be frankly. I'm not for us opting not to sign players and just relying on Chong and Lingard on that right side though.
