The Steve Hitchen thread

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Not gonna beat around the bush here but how the Fck is this guy still in a job. He’s overseen some of the worst transfers in the club’s history along with being part of one of the most farcical Managerial searches. I mean has he actually brought in a single player you could really say was an unquestionable success ?

The telling thing for me is all of his players you could describe as punts have massively flopped Clarke Sessegnon (sorry but right now he is ) Gedson Foyth Rodon

Hes still in a job because he let's Levy have a play.

 

[Nick]

Nearly every one of his signings have failed to live up to or exceed expectations. Complete failure in my opinion!!

 

[ralvy]

Except for one hat-trick, he would not be near legend level.

I know man, but that hat-trick? Dayummm. I, as a football fan, have still yet to live anything else, football related of course, which felt so massive and important at the time. It came awfully close of changing this club's whole history, or perhaps it actually accomplished that?

I would argue for the worse in that case...

He looked very thick on the documentary series but then he’s working for odd balls so probably that goes unnoticed.

 

[bubble07]

He will be all good again in 4 days when the window shuts

Those were his edited best bits..

Please explain.

I know it really sucks losing a final against Liverpool, but reaching a CL final was still a huge accomplishment for this club.

Because the night itself was fantastic. But it also lead to the most anticlimactic CL final ever, and has since just put us on a path opposite to where we thought we were heading.

This guy must have some dirt on Levy right

 

[EastLondonYid]

Hitchen just arrived at Lodge....

 

[Marty]

Sounds like he's done a Cartman

He clearly doesn't share Paratici's vision so it's probably for the best.

I do hope we get in someone to replace him who can specialise in the youth/young homegrown market though because we desperately need some competence in that area.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Delighted he has left, for whatever reason. Part of the scandal that has been our recruitment for the past three years

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Didn’t like the new job recruiting the kids it seems

 

[bat-chain]

A bad move, he's far more clued up than most people at Spurs.

 

[Wsussexspur]

About time he went! Really Was woeful at recruitment! Our activity in the transfer market while he was heading up recruitment was nothing short of a shambles..

Saying that not too sure Paratici is any better! Summer will be telling for that.

Nothing seemed to materialise either from his “project”of signing young British players as well over the past month.

 

[alexis]

Do tell

 

[danielneeds]

A bad move, he's far more clued up than most people at Spurs.

Even if he is, he’s too associated with the Fall of Poch and the mess thereafter. Given, that we can’t get rid of the chief architect of the mess in Levy we can at least get in as many fresh ideas around the place as possible.

 

[slartibartfast]

Paratici is more recognised with all the big clubs around Europe than Hitchin.
At least I'd have thought so anyway.
Even if it was panic buying in the end theres no way on Earth with Hitchin running things we go and get 2 players in from Juventus.
We're at the big table now.

 

[EQP]

Was probably fed up of Paratici screaming his ear off about referee decisions while they're seated in the dugout.
