Good morning.
I am reliably informed from UK based source that Andres Villas Boas is to be unveiled on Monday. And Jan Vertonghen by Wednesday. If it doesn’t happen, then I must remind passengers that refunds can only be issued upon production of a valid receipt.
As per yesterday’s piece the Italian press cited were pretty ‘robust’ in their claim, not suggesting rather reporting that the deal for the ex Chelsea boss was a done deal.
What I find ‘amusing’ for want of better word …is that’s the disgruntled pro Arry mob who are talking in such unforgiving terms about Villas Boas before he’s even installed. The irony.
All I want from any new manager is for the team, its coaching and its tactics to be the focus. Not the ‘personality’ in charge. THFC are on the cusp of something here and I don’t mean the usual ‘fingers crossed’ business. I mean the NPD and the endless thorny issue of it’s funding.
My contempt for Arry was mistaken by some as a personal hate campaign, again ironically by people who speak about him as if he were a relative. My issue was always with the damage being done to THFC. Was I alone in this? If I was I did some job convincing Levy & Co to sack him. Derren Brown you’re toast, son.
Imagine WHL with one of those church funds signs stuck on the outside it. You know, one of those big arrow things showing how close the money raised to the target is.
Right, now whatever figure you think we’re at… minus £30m. Because that’s why knuckle head was fired.
You can harp on about finishing fourth as long as you like. Nobody with half a brain cares. This is serious now and the pretty sexy resources we have need managing.
If the next man in does his best and doesn’t do anything glaringly stupid he’ll have my support. I think that’s reasonable, no?
I expect some common sense, some enterprise and some consistency. I don’t expect to see him looking brain damaged, chimping out of a car window waving a mobile phone like a banana.
I don’t expect him to make me cringe everytime he opens his mouth, I don’t expect him to tell me that a tournament that has probably surpassed the World Cup for many football fans is ‘overrated.’
Vertonghen’s agent:
“Nothing has changed at all. He is coming to Tottenham for the club and not for the manager,”
“Managers come and go. Of course Jan is sorry that Harry Redknapp is no longer there but he is going for the club.
“We have a good relationship with Daniel Levy. He wants the deal to happen. I don’t know when it will happen but the deal is close, very close”
Pretty sure that goes against the opinions of the Harry fans who seemed sure players wouldn’t want to join us if we sacked him. ;-)

huntelar is shite, leandro dimebar please
You lot worry about AVB.
Worry about the German: Rangnick whose CV makes harry look like Ferguson. Now there is a real loser and how he even gets a mention is beyond me and yes he does play atatcking football but no, he doesn’t win that often
Throw in the fact he had to resign as soon back as september because of exhaustion and it would be a recipe for disaster.
New digression: Modric f****s off to Madrid (at last where he benchsits for half of the season) and who do we play in his spot: Pienaar or VDV.? An if VDV who do we use in his place? Dos Santos?
Also is it POSSIBLE that a NEW mnanzger can recreate Bentley? As well as show both of our fullbacks how to defend?
BYT gossip has it that Chelski’s players are poisoning ours about AVB
VDV would be a disaster in CM. Atm it would be Pienaar or Hudd, but neither of them are a patch on Modric. He will leave a huge hole in the team.
