Who has paper on their desk these days?

We're going to be pushing plenty of half decent players out of the door in an attempt to fill the finance gap that relegation will create.

Villa were in the Championship for 3 seasons. Changed owner when they didn't bounce straight back, just avoiding administration.

100%. And I agree with the guys that the key mistake was not upgrading on Ange, having taken the decision to move on from him. The decision itself felt petty and vindictive to me.

We also don't know how much influence Frank had over the way the window panned out. Did he veto short term opportunities in favour of a longer term strategy? The club were still behind him at that point.

"It was announced half way through the Jan window"

14th Jan to be precise.

Paratici's focus was on transfers, recruitment and loans, and pathways. It was announced half way through the Jan window that he would leave following its conclusion. So Vinai put him on gardening leave and dumped the rest of the window on Lange?

The guys were blaming Lange for that. I'm not defending Lange, but they seemed to be pointing their finger at the wrong person. Perhaps because Lange was the one designated to explain the policy? Doesn't make it *his* policy.

You didn't seem to consider the possibility that Levy might have been asked to step back and handover, but he refused, forcing their hand. And you ignored the fact that Paratici was responsible for transfers in Jan.

Send it back to the stone age.

Let's hope he's still Radu's agent in the summer and gets him a big move to a top club.

Club statement - Ange Postecoglou departs | Tottenham Hotspur Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties.

People still say that, but the irrefutable evidence that he didn't lie can be found in the official club statement on his departure:

"At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign."

If the club didn't trust Paratici to do his job properly, they might as well have let him go at the start of the window so he could do the least amount of damage.

Paratici was responsible for transfers in Jan, no? I know Lange came out and tried to justify the window but was it actually *his* window to explain?

He is, but that's not what he was employed to do. He was a rubber stamp hire by Levy to make it look like things were changing. He was never going to do anything Levy didn't approve of. They more or less said that in The Wine Chums Interview.

Leicester avoided relegation the season before they won the league. Pearson got 7 wins in the last 9 and then got sacked over on-tour issues that summer. Ranieri took over then.

DOGSO happened when the foul happened. It doesn't matter where the foul happened. It's a free kick. Those become penalties when the foul happens in the penalty area. It seems quite logical to me.

That's stressful 😕

I'd play Kinsky in midfield right now. Best passer by a mile 😂

All 5 yard passes playing out under Ange, then yeetball under Frank.

😂😂😂

Why would they, after 25 years, suddenly be bothered what the fans think? You just keep contradicting yourself.

I'm really bored with this now. Tata 👋

You are arguing against yourself. You say they want someone to deflect the blame and all the time he was there, that was Levy. So why did they get rid of such a perfect shield? As I said, you're making no sense at all.

We pay the 6th highest wages in the league. We overpay for average players and then pay them so much no one else will buy them from us. Those are operational decisions. Levy was in charge of those.

He can't be a scapegoat if he's no longer there. You're not making any sense.
