Come on, the poor recruiting was happening before Paratici and will happen after if something doesn’t change.Was it really our chairman, or was it our former DOF?

The original post I replied to mentioned us being in trouble if the likes of Tanganga, Sanchez and Dier around and Davies are, hence me mentioning some players we seem to persist with in the hope they will somehow come good. Never suggested we don't spend.
I doubt Poch would come back. He dealt with what he had because we had a great young squad when he took over. It slowly evaporated and we didn't rebuild like he wanted. I don't think he would come without similar assurances to at least rebuild the defence. There's no chance he comes in and accepts Lloris, Dier and Davies as regular starters. Also his stock is higher now. He was at Southampton where the ceiling is lower, came to a bigger club and proved himself, then went up to a bigger club and now has other big spending clubs who win titles after him. He may even feel he's outgrown us at least until we get our shit together.Poch…
However, I’d fear given the atmosphere at the club and fan base is worse than in 2014 and Mason does have the goodwill of fans that Levy would cop the criticism for poor performances and would wield the axe pretty quickly to try and get someone in to stem the tide.
But how do you know that?
It could just be that it takes time to refresh a squad. You can't get rid of all the players you want in a couple of windows, just like you can't sign all the players you want in such a short period of time.
Either way that is the last i'll comment as this is going off topic.
Levy is the chairman, he oversees everything. The fact that we have blown a position of strength with poor recruitment or no recruitment over 3 windows lies with him. Not a DoF, not a manager, him. He is the only constant through this entire shit show.Where is your evidence that Levy just decided to go and sign those players without consultation of FP?
For example there are plenty reports that Paratici was scouting Spence last season, such as: https://www.nottinghamforest.news/2...paratici-is-a-big-fan-of-forest-star-johnson/
So why speak with absolute certainty that Levy just decided to sign those players because he felt like it?
As for your comment about poor recruiting, it happens at all clubs. Facts are we have had some really good teams under Jol, Redknapp and Poch. Was Levy responsible for scouting and signing all those players as well?
Too stripey. Better for Newcastle.Would love De Zebri at Spurs. The man knows how to play football the right way. It's a shame we are not considering him (From reports)
haha *Edits*Too stripey. Better for Newcastle.
I think it's more "he's not considering us"| rather than the other way around. He has a team that just might make CL next season but are certainly in Europe. I agree that I wouldn't be to unhappy if he came to us although we don't know to much about him other than this season in the PL so was it just a flash in the pan?Would love De Zebri at Spurs.

Either way, he's certainly not going to be considering us publicly right now, while the season is on and his team are charging up the league. That might change when the fixtures are finished. But perhaps not.I think it's more "he's not considering us"| rather than the other way around. He has a team that just might make CL next season but are certainly in Europe.

Just because he consulted Paratici doesn’t mean he had any say
Everything else has changed multiple times over.
Any manager with a good mindset and wanting to be successful would be asking for assurances. We have seen it time and time again where they have been let down. Do I think we need major player changes? Not particularly and I think our recruitment has been getting better. However Levy needs to appoint a DoF and stay away.
I know, I know, we hate these kind of accounts but this ITK guy is pretty solid. And this guy's previous jobs are pretty interesting...

All the teams are owned by 777 Partners, and he oversees their global football operationsI’m slightly confused, did he take 4 jobs starting on the same day and then a 5th job 4 months later? Some workload that.
