Baldini leaving Spurs

Many fans will rejoice and there will be an outpouring of abuse on Twitter with news that Franco Baldini is to leave Spurs.



For two years now the press have been telling us he is about to be fired, he is on his last legs, he is clinging one, he is going any day now and two years later he is still here. Why? Because the assumption of what he does isn't actually what he does do.

The Telegraph is now suggesting the Tottenham technical football will be leaving at the end of the transfer window, which seems far more credible than the stories we have read in the last two years.

The article points out Baldini was not solely responsible for transfers and this summer has been our sales department for the players we have wanted off the books, in that respect he has had a very successful summer.

When Paul Mitchell was brought in it was reported that he would work with Franco Baldini to learn the ropes of the football director role. The newspaper suggest the role may disappear and be engulfed by others. Perhaps Mitchell's stock is rising at Tottenham and much of the role will come under his remit.
