Tottenham to NOT appoint Gattuso

The Issue

Tottenham fans, 

I created this petition noting my concerns about apparent talks with Gennaro Gattuso. Now this is social media talk from reputable sources so I have to assume some conversations have begun. Below I have outlined some serious cause for concern with his past views and opinions that certainly do not “closely align with THFC DNA”

1. In December 2013, Gattuso claimed that he didn't see a place in football for women when AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani agreed to share his role with Barbara Berlusconi;
- What are our fans meant to think of that? What are Tottenham’s women's team meant to think of that? What are Rebecca Caplehorn and other senior board members meant to think of that? 

2. 2013, Gattuso hinted that white players getting booed was no worse than racist chanting. When former teammate Kevin Prince Boateng walked off the pitch due to racist chanting, Gattuso dismissed it and claimed that 'there are no racists there'.
- What are our players meant to think of that?What are our minority fans meant to think? Spurs cannot actively back a man who dismisses racism.

3. Across his career, Gattuso has proven to act first and think later when it comes to lashing out. In 2003, he was sent off for slapping Ibrahimovic. In 2011, he was sent off for strangling and head-butting Joe Jordan. He also had slapping incidents with Beckham and Lippi.
- Even beyond his failures as a decent person, Gattuso also has a shocking managerial record. The stats are:

Sion - Sacked after 3 months. Palermo- Sacked after 3 months. OFI Crete - Resigned twice. Pisa - Resigned twice. AC Milan - left with Mutual Consent after 1.5 years. Napoli - Sacked after 1.5 years. Fiorentina - Resigned after 22 days.
