Unfortunately this news is most likely true as not a single ITK has mentioned his name.

I predict no signings, an awful start, sacked by Christmas, Lesley king in charge until end of season and levy falling out with paritici whonhe sacks in the summer

Ledley ha ha...no idea who Lesley king is but more people have probably heard of him/her than Fonseca

Wow...let's defeat ourselves before we play a single game.

Same attitudes fans had towards a Scottish manager from Aberdeen and a French Manager from J league.

Whichever coach comes in gets my full backing. Now we need signings.

He must have promised to give Skipp and Scarlet a chance

Don - Potter must seem like a angel right now lol

Look in the bright side, maybe he’ll raid his old club for……looks at Roma squad………Pau Lopez. Remember him?

We need. New CB. Federico Fazio anyone?

Levy asks Hitchen to draw up a list of potential new managers

Baldy writes pathetic note to fans, because he has to, saying we must get back to the DNA of the club etc
"I have to write it Steve to have any chance of the mugs dropping over a grand on a season ticket"

Ok boss (aggressive nodding in agreement)

Hitchen has Poch at the top of this list. Ok pretty unoriginal but hey ho lets try and get him back.

Nope PSG are rich very rich as theyre owned by a state. Stupid idiot Steve still he does nod alot and I like that.

I know lets scrap that powerful manager concept and get a DOF in. What do you think Steve?
(Hitchen nervously agrees checking his job title a few times to make sure he isnt an actual DOF yep Im ok Im technical director whatever that is)
"Yes boss I concur"

This Paratici fella signed Aaron Ramsey on a stupid contract and has very little history of unearthing young gems lets get him.
"Ok boss"

Levys dark mind puts one and one together hmmm Paratici knows Conte, Conte is free, Conte wins and means I can scrap the whole project thing and become the Miami Hotspurs. haha brilliant.

"Yes boss but what about the whole get back to our roots thing?" cowers Hitchen

Scrap that lets get Conte even though his wages are obscene and he signs expensive players on a short term project.
"Havent we literally just tried that boss and errr it didnt end well"
"Shut up Steve I'm thinking".
Paratici agrees shut up Steve (sets fire to original list)
What about Paulo Daniel hes VERY cheap, very, very cheap? (laughs)
Does it affect the NFL or boxing or Lady Gageee?
Errr no
Sign him up my good man and give the plebs a free IPA.

I'm disappointed given that by all accounts Potter, Ten Hag and even Conte were genuine options for us.

But people are seriously overreacting on this thread. He isn't going to be a complete disaster like Jose. The football is pretty good and he was unlucky with results at Roma last season - they underperformed their xG last season which seems pretty unlikely to happen here (we haven't underperformed our xG over the course of a season since Kane became a regular)

I also don't understand why people are blaming Levy for this - he's appointed at DoF and given him the decision making power, exactly what fans have wanted.

Does Alfonso speak English.
Levy must be desperate.

Per the Athletic

"Tottenham did speak to Fonseca at the start of this process but he has quickly moved up the list with the imminent arrival of Paratici."

Maybe Levy and Hitchen will shut this down having already decided against fonseca earlier in the process

Fans falling into press trap. This is exactly what other fans want. Sulking fans stinking up the new season. Some idiots will give it to them. Then complain when we have a bad start and ask for Fonseca to be sacked by Christmas.

Your a bucket full of fun ain't you. Jeez. Best switch to City or perhaps a totally different sport.

I've got the same feeling over this as when Mourinho got the nod. We've got another depressed geezer from Portugal by the look of it. This time without the credentials. He's not someone that would inspire me.

A Tottenham supporting workmate of mine, as frustrated as the rest of you understandably are, can’t understand why Rafa Benitez isn’t being mentioned for the manager’s job.

Given the names you’ve been linked to recently, it’s hard to disagree.

Some of the reactions on here verge on bordeline ridiculous, similar to how Pochetinno was received by some on here when he was first joined us

99% done Fonseca. This is a swap with Roma, tbh.

Fonseca isn't a top manager but this is a smart move when you ask people who know the Italian league.

Fonseca and with Paratici could be a good partnership, a fruitful one.

The fans are mostly disappointed because we have gone from Poch/Conte to someone who may not be mainstream, and a underwhelming appointment but we need to back.

Fonseca is Paratici's man, and knows him well that's the positive.

I am going to support the manager as we are urgently needing one after 50 days without a manager.

There will be backlash to this appointment I am sure.

What ever way it is spun Paratici aligned with Fonseca is p*ss poor and has Levys clueless football decisions written all over it. This has a 12% chance of being successful
