Is Pochettino or Baldini buying the players?
Tottenham fans need to know who is buying the players at White Hart Lane, is it Franco Baldini or is it Mauricio Pochettino?
Is Mauricio Pochettino saying to Baldini, this is the type of player I want and the Italian then going to source them or is Pochettino giving Baldini a list to work down? Perhaps it's a joint affair, some Pochettino choices and some Baldini choices if we can;t get the Argentinians man for whatever reason.
Former Tottenham, England and Barcelona boss Terry Venables wrote in the Independent that Pochetino must be given total control of transfers, but it's not the way successful coaches do it abroad and increasingly clubs in the Premier League. Sevilla won the UEFA Europa League and the side was put together by the Director of Football, Monchi.
Perhaps we are going wrong because we sign a head coach and then a technical director, would it not work better if the technical director appointed the head coach so they had the same philosophy and could trust each others judgement.
We appoint foreign managers who have done well at clubs but should our next signing not be the best technical director/director of football we can find and start from there, if we are going o use this business model.

"I like the look of Pochettino, but I do worry for him. For the simple reason that he does not control all the transfers coming in and out at White Hart Lane. If you can’t do that as a manager, then what else have you got? Mauricio Pochettino Mauricio Pochettino should have more power in transfer dealings.
"The manager has to rely on the players who come in. But I look at the signings at Spurs – Benjamin Stambouli, Federico Fazio, Ben Davies and Michel Vorm – and Pochettino has barely used them. So I wonder whether he chose them, or if they came more from technical director Franco Baldini.
"Once Tottenham chose Pochettino, they have got to give him a chance to go for what he wants. He has to have complete autonomy over all football matters. Because he is going to be the one getting the sack if the side isn’t performing."
