Spurs identify Baldini replacement
Spurs tried last season to lure Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratic and we have tried again in recent weeks with an improved offer. He however keeps turning us down wishing to stay with the Italian giants.
The Italians decribe him as one of the most respected and courted sports directors from all over Europe. He has helped build a side that has won four consecutive league titles and were runners up in the UEFA Champions League last season. He is the right-hand man to director general Beppe Marotta and has rebuilt Juventus.
Spurs have proposed a contract with carte blanche to team building according to to Italian media which will not be quite as it seems. We have been building the recruitment and scouting divisions while Pochettino decides what type of player he wants and has the final yes or no.
If Paratic accepted, which seems unlikely given he has turned down a huge wage increase, he would be working with Pochettinio and head up the recruitment among other aspects. While he has embarked on a new three-year project at Juventus both Chelsea and Liverpool are reported to have made offers while Arsenal were reported in March as looking to make an offer to him also.

Daniel Levy is proven incompetent at hiring DoF last thing we need is another cook spoiling the broth. And another Scape goat/Pay off when the inevitable happens.
