According to Fabrizio Romano, a two-year deal is waiting for Paulo Fonseca and an option of a third-year at Spur is there should things progress favourably. It is my understanding from a source close to the club that Tottenham’s offer wouldn’t be for all candidates and reflects the financial battering that the club took during the dismissal of José Mourinho.
I also understand that this is a toe in the water type of deal as far as the club are concerned and weighted – not unfairly – but in ENIC’s favour for the incoming coach to live up to expectations. Additionally, the budgets for transfer activity are crystal clear. Sell to buy and with the direction coming from Fabio Paratici who will pass everything across Daniel Levy’s desk for approval.
I take a view that Fonseca will bite Daniel’s hand off to sign this deal and is likely to arrive in London with a wheelbarrow of fresh ideas good intentions. The Portuguese has had a result landing this role, but boy will he have his work cut out for himself…
His first task is to get a tune out of our existing superstars.
