How anyone can see the positive of getting a Chelsea reject is beyond me.

It's a fucking disaster waiting to happen. It will be like watching a slow motion car crash.

He is a poor poor manager and we should be looking at someone a lot better.

Sometimes our club really is a fucking joke

Mourinho - Chelsea reject
Ancelloti - Chelsea reject

AVB's won more trophies than Redknapp.

 

[dellybelly]

AVB's won more trophies than Redknapp.

Yes, three times as many. And he's bankrupted fewer clubs than Redknapp.

 

[Mr Pink]

AVB's won more trophies than Redknapp.

he's another 30 years plus to extend that gap to

I think Villas-Boas would be unbelievable. 12 months ago Abramovich paid £15m compo to get him from Porto and he was dubbed the brightest young manager in Europe.

Wow if RA was a normal person that £15m might be equivalent to say £300......at a betting shop......based on some dodgy internet rumours.

Sorry Sum, but no way I'm passing that barrel of fish and not coming away with a few buck-shot laden trout.

Agree with Remy for wing forward, lets go all out though and put all the Modric money on some real Quality upfront... its fantasy football time but lets just go with it while we still have our dreams intact...

Bale - Llorente - Remy

No, it isn't, it's the ITK forum and we've had no ITK on Llorente and are highly unlikely to.

 

[Parkie]

You are deluded mate if you think Guardiola or Hiddink would take the Spurs job. Chelsea were offering Guardiola £12m a year. We were paying Harry just under £4m a year. Can you see a problem yet????

Hiddink is manager of Anzhi - they have a billionaire owner. Why leave them for us?

Blanc is an option, but maybe he's happy managing his country.

As for Capello... I would hate to appoint Capello, personally. He was hardly a raging success as England manager.

I reckon it is possible to have enough money. I think that, with millions in the bank, I'd be prepared to cut my losses and take the (frankly laughable) sum of £4m per year to do a job I loved.

Oh, and there's also the question of wanting to challenge yourself and become a true legend: Spurs are a club with the potential to acheive greatness but have not done so in over 50 years. If a new manager comes in and takes us to the Premiership title or the Champions League title, they can write their name in the history books. If they join the club with the assurances that this is not just a pipe dream but a possibility then I can't see how the right manager could resist.

Yes, there are managers who want to suck the teat of an Arab billionaire or a Russian oligarch and simply take all the cash in the world but, and I may be hopelessly naive here, there are also managers who actually want the respect and adulation of their peers...

And to be able to look at themselves in the mirror - rather than playing the chairman's son's girlfriend's pet yak at right back simply because they sold their soul.

AVB - I'd love him to come in and take 5+ years building a squad, a team and a belief that brings glory home.
Blanc - ditto
Pep - you know what? A new manager has not been appointed - let me dream.
Mourinho - ditto
The ghost of (Sir) Billy Nick? F**k it, why not! I'm a Spurs fan - I love dreaming!
Until the new manager is appointed, I can dare to dream.

Just so I'm clear, Sam did bet on AVB right? If so, drinks are on him. One for everyone on the internet!

If that's aimed at me, the only muppet who put £300 down based on dodgy internet rumours - or at least the only one who confessed - then I'd like to point out I made my bet online not in a shop.

So the joke is on you Happyspur! HA HA HA!!! (manic laughter descends into gentle weeping)

 

[TottenhamLegend]

Highest win percentage of any England manager - ever. Lasted longer in the job than any England manager since Bobby. And didn't even leave for on-field reasons it seems. And with a squad which was considered very average compared to England teams of the past.

sure things didn't go well at Chelsea but you have to look at the CIRCUMSTANCE as well as the end result, use some perspective when analysing his time at Chelsea.

I think the key is that at Chelsea he had to overcome big egos and an aged team , where at Spurs he has a fairly young side and no real egos. If he can pitch his approach as less authoritarian and more involving and supportive, we could be on to a real winner.

Basically we want the Porto one not the Chelsea one

Sanity at long last sanity.

 

[spursintheblood]

Just to add my two penneth's worth, my first choice was and is Laurent Blanc and I still maintain that he is obtainable but my second choice would be to give AVB a chance.

Whilst we shouldn't be oblivious to what happened at Chelsea, he shouldn't be castigated for it and deemed a failure manager - anyone who can lead a treble winning side and remain unbeaten domestically for a duration of a season deserves recognition and if it isn't Blanc then I will be here with open arms welcoming AVB.

Agreed. Imagine we were trying to find a successor to our manager and getting the guy who achieved mid table with West Ham, went to Pompey and then left to join Southampton; relegating them and failing to get back up, then leaving Portsmouth after his only ever Cup win after declaring it his "spiritual home".

Imagine if we had to give that guy a chance... Bet all of us would be thrilled.

AVB was not a success at Chelsea, but he did win a few trophies and is much younger. People go on about Blanc's illustrious career as a player, but then Mourinho has no experience to speak of here either. Harry was not a success at some clubs, but was at others. Mayber we should let AVB have a go and not be on his back. Imagine if Man Utd HAD sacked SAF early doors. Whose to say anybody else could have done anywhere near as well?

Harry is gone now. A little later than expected (thanks FA). WHOMEVER the chairman picks he will do it with the future of the club in mind. But I am not a massively trusting person when it comes to ITK. Could be almost anyone Levy is planning on getting.

 

[SpursSince1980]

Can't believe folks are lukewarm or bummed out about the potential of AVB. 'Cos he couldn't get an ego-tastic team to adhere to his tactics? A year ago, he was uttered in the same breath as some of the most respected managers in the world. And then he goes through five months of less-than-stellar results and he's now mediocore? Huh? One bad spell does not a crappy manager make. I for one, am absolutely delighted to get him. And I would like to thank Chelsea for being the ones to break him in and teach a few lessons -- as we will hopefully be the long-term beneficiaries of their short-term thinking.

We could buy Ronaldo and Messi in one of Levy's 'wheelbarrow of cash' splurges and Jay the Yid would bemoan the fact that we are stuck with an old fart in goal, a dodgy defence and Luka 'the rat' Modric in midfield!

He's not a Spurs fan.

Think the chelsea saga could make AVB stronger and better he won't go in with the same I want to change everything right away attitude

I'm all for it now I'm sold on AVB
