He left Fiorentina after 23 days because of transfer disagreements, but sure, he'll get along great with Levy

 

It's going to be Mason again lol

 

Let's be real though, Jorge Mendes (and agents like him) is a cancer to world football, though. Tottenham are stupid to deal with him again after Mou.

 

Honestly unbelievable how badly some of the manager searches this summer have gone.

 

Yeah I want nothing to do with Mendes & Gattuso

 

Levy wrote that stupid letter and then got worse

 

This past season and now this offseason have broken me

 

"tax reasons"

wtf is that?

 

This is Dybala imaging rights all over again but so much more embarrassing

 

"Italian tax laws which provide large tax breaks for elite sportsmen could also prove complicated for Tottenham with some suggestions that Fonseca would have to wait until a certain amount of time before officially beginning a job in a new country, otherwise a large amount of money would be owed"

WHY GATTUSO. This is literally where we're at? and I can't wait until it's almost official and it falls apart because him and Levy can't agree on transfers


I'm having a meltdown at work don't mind me

 

I’m crying

 

I would imagine Gattuso leaving his agreement yesterday was because we called him and not because of transfer issues. This all can't be a coincidence. Either way, seems like a shit hire.

 

Bottled a Champions League spot on the last day of the season, he'll fit in perfectly here

 

Would that tax rule not apply for Gattuso as well though?

 

Just change it to sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe Spurs

 

It's just pure comedy looking at the free-falling list of managers we started at and where we ended up at

 

and Paratici

 

Yeah I'm not sure what the tax deal thing is. I don't know. I'm just so frustrated with this club. It's hard to be excited for next season. Wouldn't doubt it if Kane tries to force Levy's hand even more now and get him sold.

 

I'm sorry for all the twitter posts but this is insane

 

Fonseca had been the leading candidate for the job over the last week but after lengthy talks between Fonseca and Paratici in Italy, Tottenham decided to walk away. Reports in Italy have attributed this to “fiscal problems” but The Athletic understands it was Tottenham’s decision, and that money was not the decisive factor.

Tottenham closing in on appointing Gennaro Gattuso as new head coach

 

I can't believe we dragged this out and then told Fonseca to fuck off
