Saint86 Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2524186/Villas-Boas-sacked-Tottenham-manager-leaves-post-Liverpool-thrashing.html Madness or justified due to the spending spree? Their net spend is tiny, and he has the highest ever points value for a Tottenham manager in the premier league.... Is that due to bale instead of his managerial skills? If it is then you could argue that they were unable to adequately replace him and levy made a massive **** up. If its not due to bale, then he clearly has the goods as a manager to get that record level of points, therefore he has been unjustly sacked. Either way i think is brilliant. I dislike Tottenham recently, all their success for the last 2 years has been built on the back of our academy, and we were not in a position to resist due to our financial troubles. Glad the wheels are coming off the bus for them, one less team in our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Looks like 'Twitter' thinks Pochettino is Spurs first choice for a replacement, but I'm betting that's all snowballed from that ITV bloke's tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Surely the massive spending spree was a result of selling Bale which I guess was on the cards all summer. If they hadn't spent the money most of it would have gone to the Revenue anyway, no point in making a profit any more. Well exactly, it was as a result but in essence it had a detrimental effect. The team isnt really firing as evidenced by their poor consistancy but in reality it is their poor defending and over reliance on a guy that just isnt scoring. I personally like AVB, he didnt deserve it at Chelsea and probably doesnt now either. For me who is going to come in and be able to do better ? And will the new guy be forced to play their expensive players ? Levy wont learn though, he never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestersaint Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 I fancy a bit of Jurgen Klinsmann at 25/1 given the World Cup draw looks pretty bleak for the US, he may as well go on a high of helping them reach Brazil as it is not going to get any better. I am sure I seen a recent Football Focus interview where he said he would like to manage in England one day. Will he get a better opportunity than this? The fans love him, he has experience, good age, forward thinking and with Freund as his number two...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pangy Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 He's had two big chances at big clubs now and fecked em both. last year he had Arry's team and bale got him out of jail time and time again. obviously not the amazing manager the press hyped him to be after winning the Europa.

DuncanRG Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Not many "top top" managers succeed in the prem It's amazing how true this is. The Premier League rarely imports star managers or players, it makes them. That said, AVB wasn't a 'top top manager' when he went to Chelsea, everyone just thought he had the potential to become one. Hasn't happened yet, may still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggers Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Living in the US I hear loads of "Soccer" radio over here, Klinsmans just signed a four year extension and had his position upgraded to Director of Football, he's lived in LA for twenty years and is well settled, he's never going to. So slightly interested. Shows how the rumor mill works though, no one could understand last week why he was given such a ulcerative deal before the WC, seems even US soccer knew AV.

That doesn't make a team. If he chose those 7 new players, then he got it wrong. If a " committee " bought them, then they ought to be sacked. still ....IMO it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of wallies. I'd swap a place in Europe..... just to finish above them this season.

jjsaint Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 I seriously, seriously doubt we would lost MP to a club that is only 3 points above us and has a worse goal difference of 11. They may be a 'bigger club' but the league table doesn't say so. However, if he does happen to leave, we're in a position where we can cope. No more Paul Sturrocks for us thank you. Cortese would line up an excellent replacement (whom nobody has heard of, but who does a cracking job nonetheless). I'm the tiniest bit concerned, but not worried.

Killers Knee Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Lol Wheels proper fallen off the Spuds outfit. You do not reap immediately where one has sown. AVB is the most successful Spuds manager for a generation, and remain in top 4 contention, in the quarter finals of the FA cup and fielding a squad of new blokes who will need time to gel. If Spuds buy out MP's contract I hope NC gets AVB in on a free, he is a good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 16 December, 2013 Share Posted 16 December, 2013 Very difficult to know what to make of AVB. Good career before he came to England, undone by player power at Chelski. From his cryptic remarks last night, he might not have had say over who Spurs bought with the Bale money. Some might argue the a Welsh wonder has made a few managers look better than they are. Whatever, if there's some alchemy to getting a team to gel, he doesn't seem to have it. Respect issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
