Looking purely at the players he has signed, Paratici has done an excellent job.

Some of those signings are criminally good 🧐

I said it earlier, we should keep him on but not let him anywhere near the accounts.

Also, what the faaack is going on with Scott Munn?

Whut? Neether set of accounts?

I think Paratici also wanted Fonseca (an attacking coach) ahead of Nuno and Gattuso. He's definitely recruited well for us

Munn appointment seems a joke

Scott Kline also

Are you sure players like VDV were recruited by Paratici? I thought the new data model being used was responsible for a lot of our latest recruits.

I'm still not entirely sure he has an eye for player. I just think he has an army of contacts with their ears to the ground. It's less about football nouse and more about who you know. The reason I think that might be the case is that, sure he's unearthed a few really talented players, particularly Udogie, but his ability to recruit the right manager is just woeful. On what planet is Gattuso ever a right fit for us? In which realm does Nuno fit the philosophy promise made by Levy? If he knew a lot about the game he'd know to avoid names like that.

We might criticise Munn but I think he might have been central to the Postecoglu appointment.

Jack Pitt-Brooke at The Athletic made a good point about Paratici in that when he first came in he created a much larger recruitment team, built a network of scouts further afield and generally put the blueprint in place for us to thrive so his absence, or his leaving, have less of a an impact. In a sense, the most crucial part of his role was done.

If he is allowed to operate on a consultancy basis then why not just leave it as is and then reappoint him when his ban is over? Is there really a benefit in getting yet another DoF at this stage? My only worry if he were to stay on is that, if things were to go sour and Ange or he were to move on to a bigger club, I really, really don't want Fab in charge of any manager search every again.

I did this article last year and now looks even better. Bissouma, sarr & Udogie are hits and I still hold the belief Lenglet done well for us.
