Good evening.
I tell you this much. I’m dead excited. The appointment of Andres Villas Boas should prove to be a genuine coup. And here’s my thinking behind why…
AVB’s pedigree and limited past successes fill me with hope. Why should they do otherwise? They appear a fair reflection of the man. Add to the mix Sir Bobby Robson and Jose Mourinho – two of the greatest footballing minds of what, the last two generations – both showed him enormous respect and what have we got? A man that one of the richest men in footballing history – Roman Abramovich – employed.
Why was Chelsea a disaster for Boas then? Hahahahahhahahaha come on. Please tell me you didn’t arrive at this URL via the EDL website. John Terry, Fwank and Ashley are unmanageable.
AVB wasn’t the first to be spat out of the Tosspot Social Club. Hiddink? Ancelotti? If you say otherwise you automatically assert that Roberto Di Mateo is one of the world’s finest football managers.
So what did Boas actually do in his spell with the Blue Racists, then? Well, try this for size. His tactics were rather sexy . A defensive high line and an emphasis on having the ball.
Retention, speed, attack. Just enough to make it unpalatable for the conditioned old guard who still only know and trust their counter attack methodology. And so where might a system like this flourish? Well did any of you watch the EURO 2012 final? Yeah, Spain.
So what can we expect? The short answer ain’t short. AVB spoke of a project at The Bridge and I have to break it to you that we’ll be facing an approach whereby the system is paramount and the players will have to meld in order to achieve success.
This isn’t as creepy as Scientology I promise you. But it can be as cool to watch as a Tom Cruise movie.
What the appointment of AVB will herald is an intense focus upon commitment, drive, achievement and ambition. The resources of the squad were under exploited by the last bloke. This chap will truly coach. And believe me he will manage.
Why did I mention Brian Clough? Because he was a man that got a second chance from football. Football allows that you know.
And if you were willing to pay close attention, you might learn even more than that yourself …young man.
just hope we get off to a winning start as it will keep the idiots in the press of our backs
Tough start away at the barcodes but a result there would DEFINITELY shut a few up… I’m putting my money on a draw… ;)
it is away then,you have to think we’ll go down just to make life difficult and make the press feel like they are right,i’ll taje your draw :daumen:
We can win that.Piss on them too.Time to get aggressive.
William Hill has Totenham at 25-1 for the title and Newcastle at 125-1
Now dont you think we should have more faith in us than WH does???????????????
