AVB on Levy and the direction of the club

[Mr Pink]

I know Kaz, that was my reaction when I saw his quotes as well

 

[SpurSince57]

Fraud vs delusional

You decide

I've decided both.

I'm not seeing much from those who were foaming at the mouth about Harry's media pals.

 

[Spurz]

Well he promised us attacking football...

Usual hard to understand stuff then!

I think his problem is that he never understood what our project actually was and thought we'd go out and spend fortunes on whoever he fancied, yet he's never been involved with transfers anywhere he's been! He really should go and work for PSG or something then he can get his money-no-object players. It's clear to me that his self-belief/arrogance is what holds him back from succeeding; see Carlo Ancelotti if you want an example of a man who can control a large club without ego.

I liked him but he's his own worst enemy

I am not trying to defend "all of" Andre here but he proved at Porto that he doesn't need a huge budget

I am not trying to defend "all of" Andre here but he proved at Porto that he doesn't need a huge budget. In his first season at Spurs he did spend wisely. However, though I was very much for the appointment of Andre, I was also for letting him go when Levy decided it was time for that.
Regarding ego: there is no top head-coach/manager without a huge ego; particularly not at Real M. Ancelotti simply know how to use his ego the "right" way. Without an ego the ego-stars will push you aside and/or trample all over you, showing you no respect; but if one show off the ego too much then one will alienate the players and will sooner or later have to face a back lash. It's a balancing game.
I don't believe for a single moment that Tim is an ego-less guy.

Quotes about the long term direction of the club:

Sorry, what's the source on this? Everyone seems to be taking it as fact.

Porto buy who Jorge Mendes tells them to buy.

He'd never say anything bad about the club.

He has too much class...

 

[Graysonti]

Yay we've been bumped out of the ITK thread.

Anyway: he wants control but not responsibility.

He isolates the first team, yet wants to to formulate the direction of the club.

He's so full of contradictions. No wonder the players were a bit confused.

I thought it was just media-baiting double-speak but i'm ever more convinced that his message is contradictory and confused; Everything he says is, anyway.

Massive fucking Dimensions

 

[UncleBuck]

Think I just agreed with a record number of posts in a row here.

We've got this guy's number alright, hey lads?

'Delusion'
'Ego'
'Immature'
'Regressing'
'Stagnated'
'Deflect blame'

Thanks Andre, you dug your own grave, mate.

With such a list of qualities he'd make a fantastic addition to British politics...

 

[SpursManChris]

still nothing about any soure then...

 

[Jamturk]

Why is everybody ignoring and I quote "situations that exceed sport" bit?

What is he alluding to here?

He can't complain about Levy after being backed with 100 million in signings in the summer. There's plenty to be upset at Levy over but AVB's demise was his own doing entirely imo.

 

[mattstev2000]

Unsurprisingly i agree with him about the club and Levy. The bald one talks a good game but i wouldnt trust him as far as i could throw him.

Dont agree with talking about past clubs though, dislike it from every manager that does it. which is most of them.

[Stoof]

I think if he's said that, it's a poor attempt at a jab.

However, his English isn't fantastic, so I wouldn't go over analysing what he says sentence by sentence.

He kinda talks like Shakira.

I agree too, although I kind of think you know what you're getting yourself into with Levy, and that excuses from a sacked manager are never good no matter who they come from.

I'm guessing the fact that Levy had a lot of potential sponsors for the stadium naming rights attend the Liverpool game. Or the fact that AVB kept on falling out with people.

I had a lot of time for him. Couldn't give a fuck what he says now. I don't reckon he'll ever manage a squad as good as ours ever again, let alone a squad as good as Chelsea's.
