He’s been great at scouting players like Romero, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Udogie and even Royal.

The jury is out on Porro and Spence.

I hope he returns to his old job after the ban.
Many were upset that he went for Royal instead of Takehiro Tomiyasu. Hes been injuried so much and is apparently on the transfer list.

Fabio Paratici remains involved at Spurs in a consultancy role. The club's former director of football has been given limited scope as part of FIFA's lifting of some elements of his ban and football.londonunderstands he played such a consultancy role within Tottenham's move for 19-year-old Rosario Central striker Alejo Veliz, having also laid the groundwork for the transfer of Vicario with his pre-ban efforts in monitoring the goalkeeper at Empoli.

Paratici is a big fan of and also heavily scouted Johnson in recent seasons during visits to Forest that also took in Djed Spence and then on-loan midfielder James Garner, now at Everton.

Paratici was spotted at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday, even seemingly posing for a photo with a large group of Spurs fans, and will have no doubt taken some pleasure from the performance of Destiny Udogie who he brought to the club last summer before loaning him back to Udinese.

Well let’s keep him in this consultancy role. Clearly the guys has either great contacts, or an excellent eye for football talent.

Keep him consulting, let Gabbiadini scoot and let Munn do the negotiations. Works well for me.

Phillips, Veliz, Sarr, Udogie, Orban (potentially). All supreme talent under the age of 20 when signed.

Yep happy with this, we are getting far more hits than misses since Paratici joined.

Gil his most questionable signing for money spent but in Ange's system he could still come good too.

Main criticism of him was the manager search mess up when he interfered and got Nuno and then when he got us Conte and both times pretended that both managers would play 'attractive football'.

In terms of signings and scouting etc he's been about 8/10, can't really fault too many signings at all and he re-vamped our scouting network etc so more than happy with this set-up moving forwards now we have fixed our style of player and manager identity issue of the past 3-4 years.

He gets praise for Udogie but Gabbiani is much much more likely responsible there as he was from the Pozzo group.

He has brought some good and bad in but in not seeing what hold he has over the board to keep him around when he has proven to be a crook

Isn’t he banned from all related football stuff. So going to a game surely falls under that ?
Does that mean he's not allowed to watch it on telly, or kick a ball about in the park with his kids?
Of course the bloke is allowed to watch a football game, he's just not allowed to be "working" in football.

Was he the crook or the scapegoat?

Made sense why Levy didn't publicly go against him and didn't sack him when any sound minded boss probably would have

That show of faith has meant he is still working for us as a consultant

I'm all for him to stick around. Where the fuck is Munn?

Munn has been traveling with the team and around for a month now. Not sure why people keep asking when it's been reported multiple times.

Call me old fashioned but I'd like official confirmation that he is in post and doing the full remit he was appointed to do

Just need to add someone savvy enough to find ways offload the current players that aren't part of Ange's plans and someone who can help secure some decent loans for our younger players.

If the charges get dropped, then I guess he will be back.

Will be nice and easy for the mods to change the title, just needs a hyphen in resigns.

If we can't do that because of contractual obligations, what do you expect us to do? Especially since he's "in post and doing the full remit"
