VFL WOLFSBURG
Tottenham baggert am VfL-Macher
Er ist der Macher des neuen VfL: Klaus Allofs hat dem Wolfsburger Fußball-Bundesligisten Ruhe, sportlichen Erfolg und viele neue Sympathiepunkte gebracht. Doch nun hat der Manager ein verlockendes Angebot von der Insel bekommen. Tottenham Hotspur baggert an Allofs!

Klaus Allofs

• Kommentieren

Eigentlich haben englische Vereine eine andere Struktur im Verantwortungsbereich der sportlichen Führung als die in Deutschland. Der Trainer hat in England auch die Aufgaben eines Managers. Doch bei Tottenham ist das anders. Dort konzentriert sich Coach Tim Sherwood auf die Betreuung der Mannschaft, Franco Baldini ist Manager, so wie man es aus den meisten deutschen Klubs kennt. Doch nach einer mäßigen Saison gibt es Kritik am ehemaligen Assistenten des italienischen Trainer-Stars Fabio Capello. Tottenham steht auf Tabellenplatz sechs, der nicht unbedingt zur Teilnahme am internationalen Wettbewerb reicht.

Aus England erfuhr die WAZ, dass die Spurs einen Nachfolger für Baldini suchen, und Allofs steht ganz oben auf der Liste. Bereits vor einigen Wochen haben die Engländer offenbar beim Wolfsburger Manager angefragt. Doch wie ernst muss man dieses Interesse aus London nehmen? Zieht es den VfL-Manager, der erst vor eineinhalb Jahren von Werder Bremen gekommen war, etwa schon wieder weg aus Wolfsburg? „Nein, es gibt keinerlei Ambitionen, mich zu verändern“, sagt Allofs auf WAZ-Nachfrage, ohne allerdings das Tottenham-Interesse zu leugnen. Er fügt deutlich an: „Ich bin verantwortlich für den VfL, mein Vertrag läuft noch eine ganze Zeit lang, und mir gefällt mein Aufgabenbereich sehr.“

Well that second paragraph is certainly surprising...I did not know that!

Odd link, if he comes i would hope he brings Rodriguez with him.

Maybe bring Tuchel with him and keep Freund in place. German dream team?

 

[Lufti]

Not gonna happen.

Apart from arguably overpaying are the players Baldini brought in really so bad that you would sack him? I don't think so, he was probably given little opportunity to do much of his own scouting and time to assess our team fully. He was put in a situation where a lot of money was available and pressure to spend.

I think the next transfer window will be a far fairer representation of how he operates.

why??

 

[markiespurs]

Do we actually need a sporting director though ?

 

[Montasura]

He has already played down the links...

If we're going for Allofs then he should come in before we hire a new head coach.
Not the first time we've been linked to him, was some talk after Frank Arnesen left as well.

 

[Lufti]

why??

It doesn't make sense on anyone's part

 

[hodsgod]

Von der Insel, is not a very nice way of referring to us, as we are often referred to as Insel Affen, Island monkeys!

Bloody krauts!

 

[Mullers]

All the more reason why Levy will probably do it!

 

[dagraham]

I don't think so, particularly with Levy so hands on and the fact we have Ian Broomfield back as chief scout.

Most people here don't seem to agree with me though.

Mate, don't forget that Baldini offered to resign when AVB was given the boot/walked, yet Levy rejected the offer. I very much doubt anything has changed in the last 4 or so months.

I'm not even sure how many of our summer signings were Baldini's suggestions. Lamela obviously, and Chiriches, but it's hard to say with the rest.

I wonder how much of a hand Baldini has had in our youth scouting this year - since he arrived we've brought in that Nigerian Iniesta bloke, the Aussie keeper, and the two Belgian lads on trial.

The Tom Glover signing sounds as though it was very much made in north London. Some former gooner, now resident in Oz, calling his mate, Pat Jennings, to give him the heads up. And, apparently, the kid's been coming over periodically to train with us for a while now - before Baldini even joined the club.

Really, who the hell comes out with these persistent speculation, it seems there deliberately leaked or timed to cause our fan to react who in turn pressure the board to act leaving us again unstable.

At least for the 18 month contract given to Sherwood we should just stick.

Wait, you think she would keep Sherwood next season?
