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.’
.
Well good luck to whomever appears. I hope in a year or twos time I´’m not missing the selfish redknapp and his rubbishy 4th place finishes.
Go on the Spuds
Great player, crap manager his CV is awful
Rijkard that is
did he not win the cl with barca? as well as the spanish league, twice?
Yah! He’s crap.
I jest of course. He was at Barca for 5 years, no mean feat in itself. He also laid the foundation’s for the ‘best’ team in the world.
A quick shufti at wikipedia would help certain people not make such fools of themselves.
We know that Harry was incapable to guide the club to win a place leading to the CL for two continuous seasons while having a strong squad and the main rivals were facing serious problems. But upon which facts and evidences do you rate AVB as a proper manager for Spurs? His only success was with a club of his own country where he knows the local mentality and a club with an excellent scouting tradition (see Hulk, Falcao etc.). He has failed at his first attempt to coach a club outside his country. I don’t think he has a strong personality or that he is a great tactician. He looked rather clueless when Chelsea was behind in the score or couldn’t win a game.
Jose seems to think he is a very good manager, AVB worked under Jose at Chelsea and would have learnt a lot, he just didn’t get the respect he deserved at chelseamfrommfans and certainly not the players. You can’t judge him on what he did at Chelsea when he wasn’t even given a fair chance!!!
Precisely! Hence, when Brendan Rodgers was asked whether he was interested in the Chelsea job after the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas, he confirmed that he wasn’t, adding: ‘I am trying to build my career and not destroy it’.
AVB worked under Jose and Porto, not Chelsea.
Didn’t he win la liga 2 years on the trot and champs league with Barca?
If we finish in the top 4 I don’t care how our manager talks and to who he talks too. I really hope your right HH I really do.
If you had an employee who acted in his own best interest and not in the interst of the company who you work for, im sure your opinion would change.
