Now that is immense! Will he drive sideways and in a really boring manner?All joking, good luck to him. Saw the Charlie Boorman series on Dakar and it looks an absolute ball buster!
Opinion of AVB in hindsight?

Wonder if he will ever get the car out of second gear....
. Actually with all Bale's injuries he could maybe get him to drive it for him.

I’d like him to have another go with a team in the premier league to see how he can do. Let’s face it, he doesn5 need the money now so club go to any club he fancies if they were willing to give him a go.

I kind of feel he never had an opportunity to finish a project

Aaron Lennon today saying AVB was his favourite manager to play under, the best man manager and his training sessions were unbelievably good.
Interesting stuff.

Too bad it resulted in stupendously boring football.

That is indeed surprising. Would have bet on him saying Redknapp.

He said Redknapp gave the best team talks, basically “give the ball to Aaron, Gareth and Luka, then cross it or get it to Jermaine or Crouchy etc and they will score”
sounds about right arry.He also said the Chelsea players hated AVB but just shows some managers work well for some players and not others.

You wonder if Levy had given him peak Moutiniho who he desperately wanted would that have kicked his project onto the next level.
Sometimes sliding doors moments happen for some managers.

If it wasn't for him that season, we'd have been midtable at best.

Tbf our squad wasn't great. Modric VDV and King were gone, Dawson, Lennon and Defoe past their best.

I liked AVB. Smart guy who got comp goosed by the shitheads in the Chelsea team of the time and never really recovered 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.

I can assure you that I was very bored watching us under AVB . Was delighted to see the back of him .

Could never understand the adulation some fans had for AVB, not based on the football we saw. I guess he was a sort of proxy for how they saw themselves: the smart guy who wasn’t very good at sports, but whose superior intellect made him better suited to be a manager than all those dumb jocks who’d actually played the game.
