AVB Sacked

[myhartlane]

If our history over the last decades continues as it has, it will be another manager, backroom staff, players etc and at the first sign of trouble ( give it a year) and the boo boys will start over again with the cry "SACK THE MANAGER" we never learn.

And the board seem to be just as idiotic as the boo boys.

Ex-Tottenham and England striker Gary Lineker AVB has been sacked by Spurs. Would love to see Glenn Hoddle given another chance at this level. Has a brilliant football mind.

Is he having us on? What is this man love of Hoddle? I really don't understand it! He has won nothing as a manager! Lets get proven quality please!

i'm not a big avb fan and never have been really but i'm starting to lose faith in spurs as a whole. we've basically been going around and around in circles for years now alternating every couple of years from a traditional "british" setup with fan favourites in charge to "continental" setups with foreign managers and dofs running things. this is like de ja vu all over again, again, again. i won't be shocked if we're sitting here in 18 months time discussing who our new manager should be.

I've never been so gutted to see a manager sacked.

But it comes as no surprise.

JJ said on Twitter we have someone lined up.

Something about the Russians wanting lots of money for Capello so he hopes it fails.

Oh come on he was fucking awful, stop being so kind!

Good bloody riddance and take your 6-0 and 0-5's with you!!!!!!

I've been disillusioned with international football for years, don't watch any England games now but Spurs were the only thing keeping me going. Really wanted AVB to be the one to take us forward. Massively disappointed

In general, i been pretty disillusioned with football as a whole recently. Ironically, its this season when i started to feel a bit more passion for it again. Football! Eh!

Avb had time, but I like many others saw no improvement in his tenure.


You would actually stick with a manager who embarrasses the club. No manager in the league would have lost 5-0 at home to pool with the players we have.
Avb's tenure left me despondent, and it's my firm belief that he would never have turned it around. He strikes me as the uncompromising type who needs perfect conditions to get any sort of success.
Very few managers get exactly what they want so they have to adapt. We as a club gave him alot but he couldn't do it.
He had to go.

Do you think that result would be the same with Vlad and Vert in defence? Sandro going off early, Paulhino getting sent off?

It was a very bad day but I think at full strength it would have been a different story.

Capello! Two out-and-out wingers, two up top, open and free flowing football, slick interchanging of positions - just like all Italian managers. We all remember the great England team under Capello, right?

AVB in my opinion is more deserving of the sack than Ramos was (who fully deserved the sack)

Its not really a matter of us making mistakes in sacking managers too soon - its Levy and whoever else has input in such decisions making mistakes when determining who to appoint in the first place.

This time Levy and Baldini have to get it right - AVB was always a disaster waiting to happen, his time at Chelsea illustrated that. I just don't understand why he was hired in the first place after that

To sum it all up he turned us from a deeply flawed but beautiful masterpiece in to an Award winning Architects precision drawing of the wrong building. Nice foundations though

Sad day for Spurs. Since AVB's arrival we have lost all our WC talent (King, Modric, VDV and Bale) and have set about totally rebuilding the squad (added Lloris, Vertonghen, Chirches, Paulinho, Dembele, Capoue, Lamela, Eriksen, Holtby, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Adebayor, Soldado, [Probably can count Towsend & Rose]). Yet last season saw us gain a record amount of points and AVB gain one of the highest PPG ratios of any of our managers. Adding 7 players this summer really did need us to allow him at least a season to get them playing the type of football we love, yet again we have booted a manager too early.

Sad day. Thanks for the memories AVB. I can't see far past Capello as our next manager as we have Fun time Frankie in the DoF slot, I wonder what the boo boys will be saying about our football with Capello running the show.

I'VE JUST OVERSLEPT


AND HE'S GONE


PRAISE THE LORD

I remember a mate of mine saying he thought AVB was very arrogant when he joined us. At the time I didn't think he was, he seemed a little bit scarred by the Chelsea experience and was just thankful for another opportunity. However, I think that arrogance had started to return. His blaming of the fans for not singing, his insistance on trying to play the same way despite the opposition and despite the failures etc.

I hope he takes some time out of the game. I'd hate for him to rush into another job and fail - ultimately that would ruin his career before he's even turned 40. He needs to take time and return to the continent.

Agree, was thinking about what he tried and what worked over the season and a bit he was here: -

WORKED - Goalie playing as sweeper;
FAILED - High defensive line; Midfield 3 (never got the right balance); Lone strker, inverted wingers,

Can his tweets be posted in here as lots of us don't have access.

Give the job to Frank Brettell!

 

[NEVILLEB]

This was inevitable.

It's a sad day for the club.

Someone has to prise Levy's fingers off the controls and give him less responsibility.

We have regularly shot ourselves in the foot and undermined any forward progress we've earned.

Solskjaer?
