Maybe that's the reason Mitchell is leaving? He couldn't put up with the influence of the new man who has Levy's ear. The one and only @Spursking ...

I know this is a terrible necro - I was going to make a new thread in general football, but this article touches on some of the things I wish we were doing.

Or are we thinking we've now moved past that stage of being a feeder club and onto buying ready-made players? It seems under Conte that we're looking for the latter, but maybe the former is more sustainable? Definitely a debate to be had there.
One thing is not debatable: the talent developed at Monaco has been nothing short of staggering. Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy, Fabinho, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Thomas Lemar, and now Tchouameni and Badiashile. That's roughly half a billion pounds of transfer fees there.
It's a real shame that it didn't work out with Mitchell when he was with us. Maybe times have changed, and with new personnel we have more of an eye on developing talent from within. It's clear we need more continuity, and even if Conte won't be here for years upon years, I hope Paratici is. We will see.

Spurs couldn't be a feeder club even if they wanted to, who would we be feeding the 6 or 7 clubs in world football ahead of us? We are now a top 10 club in the world in terms of revenue, we see it with Djed Spence, we can't get him cheap. I don't know how we can get value from an established player anymore. Any player we try to buy that has at least a season of games under his belt at any level will cost 10m. We have to be better at loans, that's the only thing a top club can do, produce young players, loan them out and either integrate them or sell them on but I think clubs will even get wise to that. Almost impossible for a top 6 EPL club to be a feeder team now.
Every club has a Paul Mitchell, you only hear of the ones willing to promote themselves and they all preach the same ideas, buy young, fast players and make them run around a lot. This is just marketing from him. Monaco also spent big and are an oil club. Paul Mitchell trying to make out they are an underdog is laughable.
Monaco have the 3rd highest wage bill and finished 3rd.
2 factors that determine your finishing position in football; Wages (Your playing talent) and Coaching, can you get your talent to pull together and buy into good princples.
There's no hidden savant in football that is able to spot a player from the 2nd division in Bulgaria and turn them into a 100m player. People think Liverpool have this incredible eye for talent, they don't, they have an amazing coach who will make an average player look half decent. They give him a player that has no ego and is fast, he makes them look good. Liverpool and their owners have a history of promotion of their statistics and analysis abilities, that's what they like to do.
