AVB sacked

[Bold Seagull]

Spurs won't touch Lambert I wouldn't have thought.

Michael Laudrup however....

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Oscar to the Lane?

Oscar to the Lane?

Less than zero chance.

Capello would be the obvious one what with Paolo Baldini there but he is Russia manager going into a world cup year so would be odd.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

You reckon Lambert is next to get sacked?

Stranger things have happened, although Lerner's not exactly the firing type. There's a lot of Villa supporters who are turning on PL now, mind: especially after the last 2 dreadful 'performances'. Having seen those games myself, I can't really blame them tbh.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Rumours? As in... "You can go your own way..."?

That. And he's never going back again

 

[Daffy Duck]

If only Mr Poyet had waited a few more weeks he could probably have had his pick of vacancies. But more fool him for jumping in at the first job that came up.

With all the sackings going on at the moment, I'm so glad we're shot of him. It would have been a nightmare for everyone here.

What are the chances of Spurs drawing Juventus in the Europa League?!

Edit - they've got FC Dnepro of the Ukraine, so not bad draw but a long way to travel.

 

[Grombleton]

I've just read somewhere that Pardew is the 2nd longest serving manager in the PL. He's been there 3 years.

Utter madness.

Spurs won't touch Lambert I wouldn't have thought.

Michael Laudrup however....

Good shout. Decent manager.

 

[MissGull]

Steve Clarke is available!

 

[The Truth]

Pochettino?

I know a Chelsea fan who's been going home and away for years. He always said that AVB was clueless and made some of the most bizarre decisions in terms of tatics, team selection and substitutions. Says most fans were willing to give him a chance at first but were glad to see him go in the end apparently. Probably no surprise then that he hasn't worked out at Spurs either.

Can't help thinking Gus will be kicking himself here. Perhaps after the AVB gamble Gus' chances of getting the job wouldn't have been as good as they could have been, rather than if they'd just parted company with a long serving manager and were willing to take a gamble on a fresh approach. I suspect they'll go for an older experienced head now, but makes you wonder if Gus might have at least been considered as a possibility?, given his past links with the club.

 

[Paris]

Some Spurs fans calling for Hoddle. I can't see that happening.

Even if Poyet had not taken Sunderland, I don't think Spurs would have touched him.

Way things are going, Oscar will soon be in the top 10.

 

[smudge]

Dear Santa, please give Gus the Spurs job. It's what he really wants more than anything, (except Chelsea, and of course it's not "if" he manages mighty Leeds one day, it's "when").

Even if Poyet had not taken Sunderland, I don't think Spurs would have touched him.

In all honesty I suspect you're right. But stranger things have happened on the good old managerial roundabout.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Oops. Double post.

Great reading on both occasions. No apology needed.

 

[willyfantastic]

Yes really. Mourinho wouldn't even promote him to his assistant hence they fell out. Robson only used him as a tactical analyser of other teams. That is a HUGE difference being part of the back room staff, to managing a football team.

You are dead right, he managed a fantastic Porto side and had 1 full season as a manager before getting the Chelsea job. Just 1.

I don't see as you can say he's a hell of a lot better than other managers, how many other managers have the talent of the Chelsea and Spurs squad at their disposal when they start their careers?

He should have stayed with Porto, got 5 years with them under his belt, instead, at 34 he chased the money and the glory and his career is now in tatters. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

no - they fell out because AVB wanted to manage academica and mourinho didnt think he had the experience, he had been assistant to mourinho at chelsea and inter. he took academica from relegation to mid-table

He won 55.7% of his games in charge of Spurs, the highest win percentage of any Tottenham manager since 1899
