Tottenham Hotspur supporters have endured a year of upheaval unlike any other in recent memory.
Despite lifting the Europa League, Spurs made the shock decision to part ways with Ange Postecoglou after a 17th-place Premier League finish.
That sense of instability continued when Daniel Levy was removed following years of criticism over spending and performance levels.
On paper, the changes suggested a reset at the club.
On the pitch, however, little has gone to plan.
Results fail to match promises
Under Thomas Frank, Tottenham’s Premier League form has been deeply concerning.
Performances have lacked cohesion, and confidence appears fragile across the squad.
Supporters who were encouraged by an active summer transfer window are once again bracing for disappointment.
Antoine Semenyo, one of the names linked with Spurs, is already no longer considered a viable target before January has even arrived.
That development has reinforced fears that another window of unfulfilled promises may lie ahead.
Paratici exit raises alarm
Concerns have intensified with reports that Fabio Paratici could be on the verge of leaving the club.
The executive has been widely regarded as the most effective figure in Tottenham’s recent hierarchy.
Italian reports suggest Fiorentina are closing in on his signature.
Gianluca Di Marzio has stated that Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso and Paratici are in “advanced talks.”
He added that the Tottenham executive is “increasingly close” to a move, with an official decision expected within the next “few days.”
The proposed deal would see Paratici sign a four-and-a-half-year contract in Florence.
Fiorentina gamble highlights contrast
Fiorentina were one of Europe’s surprise stories last season.
Players such as Moise Kean and Dodo enjoyed standout campaigns as the club surged forward.
This season has been the opposite.
Results have collapsed, and the appointment of Stefano Pioli has drawn heavy criticism.
Pioli returned to Italian football after a spell in Saudi Arabia, but his impact has been underwhelming.
Paratici would be tasked with spearheading a full rebuild if he completes the move.
Spurs face leadership vacuum
For Tottenham supporters, the prospect of losing Paratici is deeply worrying.
His departure would leave Johan Lange as the primary decision-maker in recruitment.
Lange’s record is mixed, lacking the consistency Paratici has shown throughout his career.
Paratici played a central role in assembling the squad that delivered Europa League success.
Losing him now would underline a growing sense of dysfunction at the club.
At a time when stability is desperately needed, Spurs appear to be drifting further into uncertainty.
