Hello.
This, if true is extraordinary. From a chap on Facebook in this Tottenham group you can view here. Fingers and everything else crossed, eh?
- Tim Sherwood will be appointed as Director of Football at White Hart Lane next week. This is a promotion from the position of academy director- This evolution has been on the cards for 18 months.
- Levy decided to bite the bullet last week, sticking to his original plan which had been drawn up in expectation of HR leaving to take on England and make the change largely in light of Sherwood’s outstanding work with the youths.
- Andre Villas Boas will join on a 2 year contract worth less than 1m euro per year with another 2.5m payable per season in bonuses. This information is direct from the inside WHL.
- Sherwood has known AVD for 5 years having met the Portuguese when both were enrolled on a course aimed at furnishing them with their UEFA Licenses, they have a similar philosophy and the duo will be charged with promoting youth ahead of experience, much like Roman Abramovich tasked AVB with at Chelsea last season.
- AVB was hung out to dry by Chelsea last season, he was under instruction to dispense with the old boys at the bridge and he was given no support in doing this, it was his opinion that such drastic changes would necessitate acceptance of a short period without any remarkable success and a season of aclimatisation would be required.
- Abramovich at first accepted this but was pressured by the media to get rid and he buckled. Bare in mind that CFC paid 12m for AVB and at the time he was considered the continent’s finest young coach. We are getting a great deal here, I am fully committed to Levy’s vision.
- Levy flies back in to the UK on Monday after spending Sunday in Holland where I imagine he is trying to tie up the deals for Vertonghen and also investigate the procedures that will follow on from any possible transfer of Klass Jan Huntelaar.
- Ajax retain a stake in the striker despite the fact that his move to Schalke was his third full term contract and third club since leaving Amsterdam, the Dutch side are due 20% of any future transfers that Huntelaar is involved with and Levy will be sure to try and use this in negotiations for Vertonghen.
- As I said, done deal not News International bullshit.
im a tottenham fan and all you and all u so called fans agreeing with harry out are thick, harry might not of won anything for us but tell me who did since terry”s fa cup in 91? George (league cup) non of you wanted him, but he won us a cup and you idiots couldn’t respect that. Then there was Ramos (league cup) run out of town because players would not play for him, not because he was a bad manager the guy won two uefa cups. Then we got harry two 4th and One 5th, and apart from the england debacle what did he do wrong, cause after all that was finished he won 3 drew 1 out of the last 4. The only other man that got close was Jol two 5th that was not good enough and they got rid. now were back to god knows who and what AVB Moyes they won’t get us 3rd place because 4th now has become a failure. Only a top top manager will do and AVB is not it mourinho pep lowe we won’t get them so i say cappello, forget england cause there shit, sir alex couldn’t turn england around, fabio’s cv is second to non look no further. he’s gone now and if it goes wrong i hope you all shout for levys head and hang yours in shame TTIFD
1}Levi will never pay over odds for any player, so we’ ll always loose out when trying to purchase new players
2}Levi will always try to get top dollar for outgoing player’s, taking a hit on transfers is not part of his makeup
3}We as fans want attractive football
The only manager who will be able to work within our financial constraints having to play wth players who are secnd maybe third choice, get the best out of the squad that we got hopefully Gio aswell and play the right way is MARTINEZ in my opinion.
Redknapp? 3 times I’ve been to Wembley and 3 times we’ve lost. Dodgy f**cker, talks bollocks and couldn’t pick his nose. Thank Levy he’s gone! Coys!!
Head on block there Harry mate, hope we can enjoy the celebratory cake very soon. COYS!
I like the theory of the above new management structure. Alas I had the same feeling with Ramos etc and that went a little pear shapes didn’t it. However, deep breath and Come On You Spurs!
PS Any low downs on Luka? Its a shame he is having such a good Euro’s. Could have done with him doing a groin ten minutes in against the Irish!
