Opinion of AVB in hindsight?

[Westmorlandspur]

AVB was ahead of his time. They all took the mick when he was stood on the touch line with his notepad.
Theyre all at it now
Football was crap though. It was as if each player had his own part of the pitch and never moved from it.

We weren't boring under AVB.

He played a ludicrously high line.

It was the constantly being demolished by the Sky 4 that I'll always remember from his tenure.

We did alright against the trams below us and around us, but as soon as we played a side with a decent attack, we'd ship 5.

Early days AVB was ok but further into his tenure the football became very boring and toothless and we were a mess at the back and got spanked by the sky4.

I think he did an ok job early on even if Bale was winning games single-handedly but in the end AVB was out of his depth and had to go.

It feels like a long time ago, but I remember the football being quite one paced. That's why Bale seemed like the only bright spot in the side, because when he got the ball things just changed.

The football was indeed boring under AVB but I do miss him hyping up Defoe as his new Falcao and Townsend as equally talented as Bale. I will never forget AVB's second season where Towsend in turn tried his best to channel his inner Bale at every opportunity just to send every other shot into row Z.

From memory I thought he was a textbook manager. Had done all the courses but had no real instinct for what he was watching.

A bit of a bluffer who rode the ‘next Mourinho’ wave for a while before slipping away.

He had great hair.

He had great hair.

I never said he was without redeeming features.

 

[Spursmatty87]

Good beard as well

Favourite moment was seeing Fergie and his bright red whisky nose fuming after Dempsey got a last minute equaliser at WHL in the snow.

I think he must have interviewed well!

 

[whenstevewentup]

take bale out of his team and it makes Conteball look like prime Barcelona .

 

[eddiebailey]

I think he must have interviewed well!

Just the sort of smartly tuned out ‘I’m the future’ type Levy would have been desperate for to replace the old school Redknapp.

 

[Sarsipius]

He was an absolute fraud and had all the charisma of a traffic cone. Football managers aren't successful because they're 'nice'.

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

That taking a shit posture was all i could remember about AVB.

 

[Trent Crimm]

That taking a shit posture was all i could remember about AVB.

He invented that.

 

[spurmin]

Trench coat is another memory of him.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Negative spiral

I dont watch the pre/post match studio stuff as i find it a waste of time for the most part.

High line or not i was very, very bored with the football we played.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I liked AVB when he was here.

In hindsight? I don't think about him at all.

Avb was a strange man who fell out with players
