Fonseca off, Talks on with Gattuso

Page 3 of 7

posted on 17/6/21

From Tariq Panja ( the bloke who broke the ESL story)

Fiorentina parted company with Gattuso because team’s owners refused to work with his agent Jorge Mendes/or any agents connected to Mendes. Issue is said to be linked to transfer targets (and linked commissions) lined up from F.C. Porto.

The falling out is linked to an approach by Fiorentina to sign Porto midfielder Sergio Oliveira. Folks close to Mendes insist that Fiorentina never discussed commissions before pulling out of deal. Whole issue raises concerns (AGAIN) about conduct of technical directors, too.

Some of the details in this case are quite dreadful even for the football industry. Meanwhile club owners likely to be getting it in the neck from fans because they are not signing players and manager left.

Should Gattuso pitch up at Spurs as is being reported, expect a bunch of Mendes players being on his list. Gattuso was also lined up for Wolves before he picked Fiorentina.

--------------------

So basically Mendes is running our club.

I was actually getting used to Fonseca and getting a bit interested for next season.🤣

Levy should be sacked over all this. Seriously. His position is surely now untenable

What a circus

I thought most of y'all didn't want Fonseca?

So, Gattuso who left Fiorentina after 28 days due to player transfer disputes and Spurs are pressing ahead in getting him? he will last 1 week under Levy. A shambles club

Gotta laugh

Maybe we weren't really in for Fonseca and all the journalists were making it up again, eh lads?

None of us did. That isn’t the point is it ? If we can’t even get an underwhelming clown like Fonseca over the line, what does that say about other targets?

I can't believe I've just read that. What's happening with Spurs.

More importantly if Mendes is having a say on who our next manager is what is the point of the new DoF?

@FabrizioRomano............isnt he the same caaant who said poch was done then conte was done then fonseca was done? wont be listening to a word he or any other journo says

Gattuso hahahahahahaha I didn't realise Mendes was our new DOF. Fack off Levy you utter cant. Clueless tool on every single football decision.
Appointing Rangnick as DOF alongside Ten Hag/Potter/Favre far too difficult for this complete idiot. Now we are in complete meltdown and the vultures like Mendes are circling ready to feast on the carnage.

Just read back on some of the comments. So the Italian director of football you "appointed" last week isn't the case anymore? It's now Mendes?

posted on 17/6/21

Levy should have advertised the post in the dailymail

Paratici can identify the manager he wants and Mendes can get the deal done

No it's got confused in the panic. Mendes is pushing his client on to the club, he's not working for us. Officially anyway.

Makes you wonder whether Levy has a secret betting account and is taking the bookies to the cleaners once a week

those belllends also reported the other deals as being done. clueless the lot of them. couple rumours plus a bit of guess work plus a quick chat to some contact somewhere and then these guys post tweets with an irresponsible degree of certainty

This comment resonates with me.

Wasn't happy with Fonseca, but was gradually growing acceptance.

Gattuso really would be beyond a joke though.

Is David Pleat available ?
