    Sort of felt inevitable once Paratici came in.

    Had some failures here to say the least but he did scout a good number of others who the club opted not to sign that have since done well, so whilst he shoulders a lot of the blame for some awful incomings, the ones the club didn’t back him for in other cases have proven to be good additions to the league.

    The decision making at the club has been poor for some time, from various people.

    Good luck to him wherever he goes.

    We're really cleaning house with the departure of Hitchen, hopefully having fully removed Levy from sporting matters and getting rid of Ndombele, Lo Celso and Dele.

    It'll be good to see a line drawn under the last few years. The hope is returning...

    It’s a start and long overdue.

    Think Levy knows he has to change things

    Hitchen was far from the only problem in the running of the sporting side of the club. However, between him, Levy, Poch and Mourinho, the togetherness within the club that Poch engendered from 2014-'17 died a death.

    All of them carry blame for where we are now and Levy's survival is testament solely to his shareholding. All of them should have walked for making such a monumental bollocks of things.

    Hitchen resigns, he must have had enough of working for Levy, and who could blame him.

    Has a player ever been signed and then not been able to get a work permit ?

    Yeah, but it's normally expected and they're loaned out to countries with different rules.
    Wouldn't have thought it would be an issue with these two, as they both have plenty of caps.
    47 Uruguay matches at 24-years-old is pretty impressive, as it goes.

    Kulusevski's behind the scenes stuff. At the end of the video it further proves reports of Gollini being a top guy, greets him for the first time and invites him to his house straight away (there was a pic on Gollini's insta story yesterday showing Kulusevski there too).

    Dejan Kulusevski's first 24 hours at Hotspur Way:


    His English seems good. Swedish education.
    I'm not convinced by Gollini, to put it mildly, but that's a really nice, generous gesture at the end. <ok>

    Had those symptoms too. ****ing nightmare that thing. You had any fluid on the lungs too? That really got to me, made sleeping for like a week almost impossible.

    Either way, hope you're beginning to feel better, mate.

    And it's telling how they all came to similar conclusions
    Poch - I need Sissoko to babysit you
    The ubermensch - Do some situps, fatty
    Mason - ...yeah, I'm picking Lo Celso or Hojbjerg to play your role
    Nuno - I hope that I don't get pressured into playing this waste of space based off a few compilation videos
    Conte - Get off the ****ing pitch, lardarse

    He's reportedly off to Everton

    Time will tell if history will repeat itself and Fat Frank will ignore when he alerts him to the availability of a CM who would clearly do good things for our team, as he's got his heart set on a sack of guts who, if you squint, you can convince yourself is exactly like Prime Dembele

    Glad to see the back of Hitchen

    bang average and I can tell he was a great advocate of the ‘we tried’ excuse having watched him moan about having to do his job on the Amazon doc.

    Realistically his job was impossible when he goes to Poch to say that Youri Tielemans is available and will really balance our midfield, but Poch rejects the suggestions and says he wants Ndombele - and only Ndombele

    This is where the dogpiling on Hitchen become blatant scapegoating, and frankly I'm curious which of the usual suspects on Twitter started it, because the amount of convenient memory lapses to come to that conclusion has me wondering which of the twelve people (aka 43 chins, or 38 teeth) who were outside our training ground on Monday started it
