I think Paratici has done a good job, on the whole, and has certainly proved the importance of our having a competent DoF. However, I am still happy if he leaves now, because as a club we already have enough issues without having criminal and corruption allegations hanging over one of our key figures.
It potentially compromises our dealings with other clubs and agents, while If I were Nagelsmann or another of our managerial prospects, there is no question that the situation with Paratici would at lease cause me some concern.

I think you’re off base here.
We’re a top six Prem club and looking for the right head coach for us.
Knowledge of our level, achieving at this level, having experience of working with top level players etc are all vital for our hope of picking the right manager.
We also don’t want managers like Gerrard and Lampard.
If she moves into the men’s game and performs to a level that top clubs want to hire her then great.
But making out this is just sexism is dumbing the issue down to an excessively low level.

It doesn’t paint us in a good light does it.
1 - manager slams, well pretty much everyone, in his post match press conference, after another epic collapse against bottom of the table team. And whilst I agree the players and board need to shoulder some of that, I do also think he should put his own hand up, he coaches these players week on week, he picks the team, he lays out the tactics, therefore he should be working on the training pitch every day to eradicate the errors or as a minimum set is up tactically better. His rant basically says the players aren’t up to it, and neither are the board.
2 - A full eight days after the rant, the manager leaves via ‘mutual consent’. Radio silence in the interim, doesn’t make us look like we have a cohesive vision of how to run a club.
3 - the DoF responsible for kicking off the new manager search is banned from all transfers and negotiations worldwide due to alleged financial improprieties. Note, he’s only banned from transfers and any negotiations, he’s not banned from football activities within the club, so will he remain as the decision maker, but have his team (Steinsson and Scoulding) carry out the tasks.
Anyhow, all of the above, if you were a manager with a reputation on the rise, does this make us look like a professional outfit you could be successful at. Full sweep needed, Levy won’t leave, but at the very least needs to take his medicine. Announce we have been mismanaged, bring in people to start afresh, a DoF who can put some overarching structure in place, where a manager/coach can come onboard and flourish, rather than just wing it as we do currently.

He hasn't got rid of any players we didn't need, they are all on loan with us paying most of the wages
And from last summer's window not one of the players has improved the team

I mean, Perisic being injured is hardly a problem. He’s been wank.

That suggests you wouldn’t give them (women?) respect yourself. Unless you happen to know for a fact the players wouldn’t respect them?
Did the players all immediately respect Jol for everything he’d done in the game? unlikely…or did the players at Reims respect Will Still for being good on FM? No…the players respected these managers because of the way they spoke to them, treated them, engaged them, coached them, made them better. I hear the argument that “a non league manager shouldn’t get the Spurs job”, but i just don’t agree that women’s football is comparable to non league (Emma Hayes has been competing at the highest level of women’s football for years), and I think it could be transformative for a men’s team and culture.
As it goes I don’t want her as manager cos of the Chelsea link, and of course I’m not blind to the fact that perhaps it’s too big a leap, but you can say what you want, the tone of some of the messages was “not a woman”. Until that narrative changes and someone proves it can not only be “possible” but also a bloody good idea to give female managers jobs at mens clubs, football is inherently and institutionally sexist because you are not giving women a level playing field. That is fact, and it’s pretty bloody miserable.

I feel he's the most realistic choice and so I have changed my vote accordingly.

He has slotted in nicely to the poll.
Worth getting L.Enrique on there as think we had ITK a while back that he was near the top of our list?
