I assume there will be an announcement at the end of the window. Thoughts?

I assume a full article will follow, and there will be an announcement at the end of the window...

Thoughts?

Not surprised. But good luck to him.

 

[Spurger King]

No one knows who he was, or what he did, but his legacy will live on.

 

[Buster18]

He's been an unmitigated disaster. Him and his pal Fabio have robbed an incredible amount of wages over the last half decade

 

[SteveH]

Thank christ for that!

Yep, he worked out so well.......

Time out. If you genuinely believe Levy handed over signing and negotiating power to Baldini, you're sorely mistaken.

 

[Lukasz]

Ade stays and poor old Franco has to be sacrificed in order to free further wages. Nice one Danny boy.

 

[yankspurs]

I reckon maybe 30% of the people on this board have a clue of what his role was. The rest have no clue and are bashing the wrong person

 

[Mr Pink]

There's no doubt ever since he arrived our transfer business, incoming, has generally speaking gone down hill.

I'm relieved to be honest. I don't know how involved he was but guilty by association at the very least lol.

 

[jonnyp]

About time, what a disaster he's been. Jury's out? Bollocks it is.

 

[Nocando]

I for one will miss his sexy grey locks. Best of luck Franco in whatever you decide to do.

 

[tobi]

I presume he takes over from Jenas as the default scapegoat?

Who else was on this transfer committee?

 

[spursfan77]

Not sure how much he had to do with transfers. @Trix says very little and his role was much wider around the club. But that won't stop the media and spurs fans in general thinking he was our transfer overlord when in fact it's a little bald man.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Room for Damien to comaliway back home ?

 

[mpickard2087]

I always had a problem with his role. He should have just had the job title of 'transfer schmoozer'. DOF should be such a wide ranging role that he wasn't really equipped for.

He wasn't a DOF .

 

[Cornpattbuck]

He had too high a profile name for the role he did, which seems to have confused the world into thinking he was more important than he was.

Good luck to the guy. We certainly haven't suffered despite some of the statements on here...

 

[NEVILLEB]

A double whammy bad appointment along with AVB.

Quite how Levy managed to appoint these two muppets after 15 years as Chairman baffles me.

 

[scat1620]

If he does end up going, I'd be interested to hear whether any ITKs could clarify exactly what his role was, after he's off the payroll and therefore they wouldn't be disclosing info about current Club personnel.

To expand to a wider scope on the same point, whenever JJ's professional association with Spurs comes to an end (hopefully not for many years to come), imagine the moolah he could make by publishing an autobiography. There must be a goldmine of info of things that nearly-happened-but-never-quite-got-finalised that he's sitting on, and a public who would be very keen to hear it!
