On the other hand AVB did get the best out of Bale and Redknapp didn't.
There will always be shit like this going on. Freund wasn't AVB's choice. He might be a jolly german but it doesn't mean he was compatible with AVB who perhaps didn't want him chipping in his teutonic two bobs worth every 5 minutes. Freund seemed likeable but I always thought he was a bit of prick
This is business/work and football especially. It's full of big egos, high pressure and it isn't always going to be one big chillaxed suck off fest.
Look at what Ferguson has been through, coaches replaced, world class players fucked off because they pissed him off and he even sued the people that gave him a world class race horse.
This stuff coming out now is fucking predictable and tedious (someone even said yesterday it would start to trickle out as the club's PR gets into the groove).
In fairness when Redknapp was there we also had Modric and VDV, so it wouldn't have been nearly as easy for Bale to have the free-role he occupied for much of last season.
