AVB Sacked

[wpd659]

I will be gutted if Freund goes. By all accounts he is a great coach and someone extremely passionate about our club, he needs to stay.

I think its down to the new manager who comes in.
I hope he stays but i wouldnt bet my house on it.

Capello - Don't want him and he has the WC, so he won't be coming in until at least the summer
Hiddink - Don't want someone for 6 months.
Sherwood - This is probably the worst possible option
Di Matteo - Come off it, do we need someone else who is wet behind the ears?
Hoddle/Jol - Have places in my heart for what they once did, but both are the wrong choice now

For me:
Martinez - No hope of us getting him, but would be my first choice. Was great at Swansea, worked miracles at Wigan and has now got Everton playing great football. Knows the Premier League. Unfortunately, he'd be mad to leave them for us.
De Boer - Likes attacking football and style. Realistic, but unproven on the larger scale and certainly in the Premier League. Probably our best chance to get a young manager with a brain.

I wouldn't be adverse to Martinez

Again, fair play. Your last 2 posts have totally changed my perception of you . Well, until your next post, then I'll just think you're a **** again

I should probably have a signature/disclaimer saying I'm not serous

I don't think there's a right or wrong approach, I'm just wary of the notion that sticking with a coach is the right thing to do because 'the clubs who do that are more successful'. Because that isn't true. It's a false notion. There are successful clubs who stick, and successful clubs who twist. And notably more of the latter.

Anything to back up those claims?

EDIT: I'd like to adress "I'm just wary of the notion that sticking with a coach is the right thing to do because 'the clubs who do that are more successful'. Because that isn't true." Teams run by new managers are fairing worse than teams that have managers that they've had a season before. That might not be true for all things but it's true this season, so far.

Just to lighten things up (not easy):

BREAKING NEWS: Gazza is at Spurs Lodge to discuss becoming new manager. He's brought a six-pack, fried chicken and a fishing rod.

I'd snap up the little Spaniard right now, but I very much doubt that it would happen.

What would justify choosing De Boer over Laudrup?

What would justify choosing De Boer over Laudrup?

He has actually won stuff and has managed our two best players.

 

[Indisguise]

Anyone fancy starting a Pep rumour?

 

[teddy_sheringham_125]

What would justify choosing De Boer over Laudrup?

Fair point, I'd completely forgotten about Laudrup. I'd put him in the same bracket as De Boer probably, not 100% convinced as yet, but wouldn't be the worst choice.

 

[mattstev2000]

This is the best Christmas present I could've asked for. Thankful I won't have to put up with that useless football week in week out and constantly be dissapointed with the starting lineups in the Europa League.

I've no idea who I want as manager and wouldn't have a clue where to start guessing, not my job.

All I know is I'm happy that mug has gone. he was pulling down our football club with his (lack of) knowledge of the English game and I for one began to hate watching us! We became a laughing stock and all the signs were there from the Wigan game last season. His stubborness knew no bounds and if we had stayed with him to the end of the season we would've all regretted it.

I'm putting my faith in the man with the cheque book as he has always shown he is ready to back the club to become successful. Come on you Spurs, onwards and upwards from here! Bring our Tottenham back!

He's been pulling down our football club by getting the best win ratio of any manager for us in the premier league era? attracting big players? record points totals? Beating Man U at Old Trafford for the first time since the Jurassic period (back when it was difficult to beat Man U)?

Is that how he's been pulling us down?

I look forward to Levy's next change in direction and sacking in 18 months time when whoever he hires this time can't bring champions league football on a £0 net spend.

I'm hoping de boer gets the chance.

He as to work with pretty limited resources at Ajax, so he seems pretty educated in that regard. He knows how to bring young players through, and seems to trust them. He seems to have a pretty good temperament and was a class player in is day. With Verts and Eriksen here, the transition shouldn't be too hard. As with all dutch players, they seem well versed in english and our game. If he is feeling ambitious, we are there for a go!

 

[Breezer]

He's won stuff in Holland. That doesn't mean much. He's managed two of our players? Again that's irrelevant.

Don't get me wrong I'd like De Boer. But just wanted to know why people would choose him over Laudrup who has more experience.

 

[marcellus81]

not seen his name mentioned on here, but all over the betting forums...Marcelo Bielsa

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Lippi? Yakin, from FC Basel? I'm clueless, as you know.

 

[markiespurs]

I thought it was blatantly obvious what it was referring to and I consider it horribly unprofessional.

Totally agree with this and I've been a big fan of BAE over the years.

 

[thinktank]

Everything we already knew.

A good listen.

http://talksport.com/football/stubborn-avb-was-never-popular-tottenham-says-pinto-13121672058

Villas-Boas was axed after less than 18 months in charge and Pinto claims his fellow countryman can have no complaints.

Speaking on Hawksbee and Jacobs, he said: "I am not shocked at all.

"I think there are two main reasons why he finds himself in this predicament now. The first is he never properly worked on a Plan B, tactically.

"Then there was a personality issue as well. Andre is very a good guy, but he alienates a lot of people by the way he is. He is someone who works very much on his own, he is very stubborn, he wants things done the way he does them and he doesn't really listen to other opinions.

"He was never very popular at Chelsea and also at Spurs because he never passed on a happy persona. He was always very closed, very solo in the way that he lived his life as a manager."

Chelsea? City? We all know the reasons for their success and for that they don't need to appoint a manager with the long term in mind.

Isn't he pretty insane? Although it would be interesting...

Typical Gazza, turning up at the wrong bloody place
