YoungBrit Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) BBC saying he has left his post. BBC saying sacked, bit different to left his post,,, Merry Xmas,,, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25397167 It was before, they then changed it to sacked. Bit surprised myself to be honest as 'if' you had won yesterday then you would have been in the mix. It can't be the points tally but must be the manner of losses. Alfie, looks like we got our answer to my question about a month ago, whether Levy would be happy with a 7th place finish. He obviously doesn't see it as a 'transition' season. He obviously is expecting an instant return on his players he has brought in and demands top 4. If I am not mistaken Levy's original target was Rodgers but Liverpool got there first. How ironic that he has sacked his manager after Rodger's new team played them off the park with the quick passing, movement and pressing he wanted to bring to Spurs.

StevieH Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 AVB apparently has the highest winning percentage of all Spuds managers since 1899....Jeez, the rest must have been bad it is pretty mental when you consider their league position. it's not like they're in a relegation dogfight. two awful results and performances against city and liverpool granted, but it still seems a bit crackers.

sotsira Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Not surprised at all that AVB got the sack, the team have been playing badly all season except for 2 games that come to mind against Norwich and Villa. All the others were poor performances whether we won, lost or drew. I never wanted him as our manager from the start, 2 reasons, too young and inexperienced, and he never played the game at any level. What was Levy thinking when he appointed him, i just don't know! I hope Levy has now learnt his lesson and appoints someone with experience and pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 "and he never played the game at any level." one of the most inaccurate statements in football that, with respect. some of the best managers of the modern era either never played football at all or played at about dog & duck standard. can see lots of reasons for wanting villas boas gone but think that not having played the game is pretty well down the list.

MrRed Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Levy must have somebody lined up to go straight in,it was probably done a few weeks ago as the position they are in is not bad....just imagine were they would be with a good tactical manager! They are still in all the cups and if they get somebody who will change the style of play and try ang get some goals from the strikers all is definitely not lost. I think Levy has been strong and made the correct decision and the Spurs lads on here will most probably be relieved that he has gone although they only started saying it after yesterdays hammering. It is alright Carmine you can come out of the bomb shelter now .....it is actually good news for your club and bad news for all us that told you this would happen because he is <deleted> tactically with no experience your next manager will have experience and most probably be a lot better with his tactics, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 In addition to everything else, Spurs can't score goals in the EPL and the fans are angry. Now their defense looks increasingly suspect. Not many managers would survive with that situation. It'll be interesting to see what changes a new manager implements. I'd bet AVB will end up back in Portugal or in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soi Sauce Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) So; All u White-shirted slags- (The colour of suurender)- who have insulted me over myself feeling the same about your ex-manager as your Chairman obviously does, can I have an apology for having been right all along. From an apology of a team and a club, it would be significant. I've been told i know nothing about football. But I think I know a little bit more than the comedian you suckers seemed to idolise for a while. Keep doing well in UEFA's equivalent of the Coca Cola Cup. Also, who is Levy when it comes to knowing about football? Like your ex, he's only in it for ego. Edited December 16, 2013 by Soi Sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Interesting quote from one interwebnet pundit: Having brought Technical Director Franco Baldini to the club in order to recruit new signings, the questions being asked about the quality of Spurs’ new arrivals have been unfairly directed at AVB. It seems to me that Levy is merely using Villas-Boas as a scapegoat to cover his and Baldini’s failings in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
