Uh oh. DL's great plan to sack an uninspiring but at least competent manager halfway through the season without any obvious alternatives is looking better by the minute. He wasn't the right man but in hindsight we really should have kept him on until the end of the season. Sherwood isn't going to do any better.
I think we may have to gamble on Pochettino or Laudrup.

What else was FDB going to say. Wants to sound loyal! Money talks though.

It's not even a comment on the Spurs job is it?
But whether he'd be interested in managing their national side.

If some of the comments by the itks are to be believed, AVB was really sinking some people down, and some players were thinking of forcing out. If such is true, than I think it was the right decision to let him go before January.

Don't know if it's been mentioned or considered (can't be bothered to wade through over 100 pages), but taking the plunge and removing AVB now could mean that a newcomer at least has the Jan transfer window to make adjustments to the squad, rather than funding AVB into Jan and leaving a new manager with no room for manoeuvre with the squad in Feb.
Although this assumes we get someone in time to assess the current squad.

This quote is from a while ago as it was even before they started talking to hiddink I remember watching it. Certainly not from last month or so.

He was incompetent and belligerent.
He absolutely had to leave at the earliest opportunity. He was increasingly more and more embarrassing in the media. The team were regressing at a stunning rate.
The ship will steady now. We may have lost last night but I can assure you we were better for most of the match than we have been all season.

Alright it's been a few days and the sacking still seems ridiculous.
- Highest win percentage of any Spurs Manager
- Highest points total of any Spurs Manager
- Hadn't been able to play the team he wanted to due to circumstances beyond his control
- Still in contention for Top 4

I'm convinced that with a better manager in charge last season, we'd have had a better win percentage, and a higher points total. That would mean Champions League.
AVB failed to get us our target of top 4, and he was well on his way to failing again this season.

Touch and go on that one, i think he did well last season with some of the players at his disposal, and the ones that got injured, easy to forget that Defoe and Ade both stopped scoring in the league for a combined 6 months+, add in Bale and Lennon getting injured left us wing options of Dempsey/Sigurdsson then i think 72 points was pretty good. Levy definately fucked him on at least a decent Modric or a decent VDV replacement.

Crazy to think we replaced Modric with Dembele and VDV with Dempsey/Sigurdsson.
Shocking really.

Agree, people need to remember we had some really bad injuries last season, some tired legs from the Euro's and some stupid fucking decisions at boardroom level regarding signings, most were excellent but some were mediocre at best.
On another note, if we do get a new manager either soon or in the summer we must keep it simple pre season, been thinking this since Monday night, this is as good a thread as any but what with the World Cup and all i hope we don't go across the globe. Let's take on all and sundry at the Lane, help the new guy instill his beliefs at the training ground not some Monsoon infested pitch in Outermongnowhere in the Outermongnowhere Cup, fuck the brand Levy this summer lets get the bloody football right.
