We seem to be signing younger players, I dont think Levy and AVB see next season as important but the one after as key.Our new look team will take time to gel. Champions League football is not a necessity next season, give AVB time.

You are only saying that because you know you have no chance of champions league...

I am a long time reader, but first post.

Firstly thank you to this site I won on AVB being our new mnager, and not only am I happy for the money, but also the excitement of having him as our manager.

Something which hasnt yet been picked up on, did AVB have a transfer period at Chelsea? I dont ever remember him signing anyone, and his time at Chelsea was very much dictated by the "old guard".

With our young squad, and a chance for him to have a say on the additions to the team, he should have a team in the literal sense of the word, and can build for a great attacking future.

He signed mata, meireles and romeu {Ed001's Note - no he didn't, AVB only got to sign one player - Meireles - the rest were not his choice.}

Mata, be gone by xmas!!

Spurs relly think they are a top team ur best player is leaving, u have no strikers defence is dodgy goal keeper is over 40 the worse manager in chelseas recent history has took over unless these arabs come in i would be worried.lFC Fan

I sence a little bitterness in your tone is it because you spunked soo much money on average at best players and you have no european football...??

U need to look at your own team mate. Don't worry about us. Worry about yours.
Loserpool fans, on here, slating spurs haha
You couldn't make it up

U scousers are just jealous,im sure avb will not waste 80 million on carroll,adams,downing and henderson.

I think you'll find that our best player has just sign
ed a new 4 year deal

Oh dear, loserfool fans, you are sooo good for a laugh, worry about your own team, we have a manager who at 34 has already won a european trophy, plus a domestic league and cup treble, without losing a league game. Whilst the best you can do is employee a manager who had an ok first season in the epl. Don't get me wrong I think Rodgers will be a very good manager, but all you tracksuit brigaders, who are on about a top 4 finish and more, please get real, if king kenny couldn't do it in his 1st full season for a while what makes you think Rodgers will fair any better, its not the manager its your team.

THFC4EVER

Typical liverpool fan get back to worrying about your own club your a joke signing way overated player (examples, henderson and downing) and the money you payed for them players is laughable, everton is the new power on merseyside, liverpool fans simply jokes

Your best player has just signed a one year extension to his existing three year deal. Probably with a nice little get out clause .. Very reassuring..

Suarez......first signs of unrest.....very reassuring. He don't give a sh.t about you and will be off. So you have a 35mill striker as your maim man. Oh wait, it's andy Carroll

Very reassuring.

Muppet

Probably with the same small print all your inflated "superstars" have.
b/s

Rodgers is reported to have been levys first choice arry tried to get carroll and if were not the best team in liverpool you lot arent even the second best team in london so c you next season with carroll and the rest of these so called s**t players, to the spurs fan who says we have no european football were in the same european competition as u lot u know the 1 that u couldnt wait to get outa last year because u were going for the title :O). {Ed001's Note - AVB was Spurs' first choice.}

Looserpool you aint finished above us for while im more worried about everton than you boys mattyid

03 Jul 2012 18:06:44
jesus,give the bloke a chance!
it seems to me that hr and his coaches werent prepared to give our youth a chance,reading todays club statements.
instead,hr probably wanted to throw the cheque book at the problem,as hes done at previous clubs[portsmouth especially]and buy old players,with little resell value,which levy obviously doesnt endorse.
avb has obviously impressed with his thoughts regarding our younger squads and i wish him the best.
i really hope hes a success,just to ram all doubting words back down those doubters throats.
talksport this pm was almost unbearable,full of doom and gloom regarding this appointment,even from fellow yids.
his coaching is reputed to be top class,his tactics up there with the best and he is highly regarded by the special one,so he comes with great credentials.....if only i could forget about his short spell at the chavs.perhaps it was just not meant there,but dont forget ra paid 13million to bring him to st bridge,so he obviously thought avb offered something special!
i believe he will prioritise younger players for those positions we need,and they will be technically good players to continue with our policy of playing attacking attractive football.
my glass is half full,and hopefully will soon be overflowing as avb earns his spurs
b/s.

Just score a goal fom a set piece practiced in training and it will be an improvement.

Avb deserves a chance. Built our success on finding potential ie bale 3m walker and naughton 3m dawson 3m lennon and rose were about the same huddlestone all brought for teir potential and didnt cost the earth. This is how we should carry on and build for the future. Then add a few top quality signings to the mix ie damaio and oscar with vertoghen and siggurdson. All who are young talented players.

03 Jul 2012 16:40:53
Well I guess all the waiting is over and AVB has been appointed. Still not sure what to make of it but I guess time will tell.

What do we think about that?

03 Jul 2012 16:26:44
Ok so Mr Levy has got his main target AVB he also has a point to prove after his spell with spurs.We dont have many BIG igo players like chelsea just one sulk (mod) if he stays or goes i dnt care about him one man dnt make a team. Weather you like AVB or not this is not the issue NOW its time to get behind our beloved team and AVB and see first hand what he is capable of doing at the lane. After the month of frustration i must admit we now have a captain of our ship so feeling a bit better. He can attract the players we would all love to see as done a great job with porto. As his time with chelski that was a trial period now its time for AVB to shine at the lane, and now the rumours going roung of 70mil war chest hopfully MR Levy will sign the cheques for AVB to bring us to that next level that MR Levy keeps going on about.....Com on u SPURS............

Well AVB confirmed as the new manager on BBC. Not sure he's a step up on Harry and might not have been my first choice to replace him but he's the Guv'nor now and as such we should all get behind him. One silver lining, I don't think he would have come if Levy hadn't promised him a decent transfer pot.
COYS!!!

AVB ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now that is funny!!

Who do you support mr 'ha ha' man, or are you to scared to admit it

Torquay united, any problem with that?

03 Jul 2012 14:31:48
I dont know what to make of this appointment. Sack the reliable Redknapp in place of AVB. Big gamble, but personally i think it may pay off for you! Hope it does anyway as i have alot of time for you guys.

All the best for the season ahead

Welcome to Spurs AVB

Billy the Yid

Genuinely excited by the AVB appointment. Last summer he was undoubtedly the hottest property in Europe, and his travails at Chelsea can only have made him a better manager. If this appointment had been made last summer spurs fans would have been ecstatic, and we must also remember that when he left Chelsea they were only a couple of points behind us, with a team far less suited to his philosophy. With renewed investment (I'm sure he wouldn't have risked joining without it) I genuinely believe we can push on next season. COYS

Well atleast he is used to eu,ropey league,so found his level straight away....

Hottest property in europe .ha ha ha ,who said spuds dont have a sense of humour!!

After he left Chelsea won the fa cup AND the champions league! Before he left they were clueless with him in charge!

Glenn hoddle and certain other pundits are trying to stir the sh.t u by saying avb appointment. well glenn had did your managerial reign go at thfc. many peoples opinions vary as to weather he is the right man or not. i say give the bloke a chance, yep maybe he will be a mistake, but on the other hand he just might surprise a few people. get behind the team the manager and the club. thfc are the team we support so lets get behind them

This is because chelsea have players that are detrimental to any manager, the squad you had was left from the mourinho era where the style of play was completley different. It's ok buying players with an attacking style this season but whether the Di Matteo knows how to implement it tactically is a different story. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't last the season. AVB is a good manager and your loss is our gain in my opinion. Granted you won the champions league so feel free to pipe up about that but the players such as terry, lampard and drogba play for themselves

The mentality of chavski fans. AVB was closer to the top 4 than RDM. AVB everages more points per game than RDM. You was never knocked out of a cup comp with AVB. So who is your manager? RDM. Ha ha you couldn't make it up and you have the cheek to mock us.
Always have been and always will be a small time club.
Now you say you are champions of Europe, you may be, by pure luck. Out played in last 3 games of that comp. suppose your the best team in Europe haha you are no where near it. When the Russian money runs dry, you will be shafted and I can't wait.
Bring on AVB, I can't wait. You lot are running scared. That why you are chirping now, before you can't.

COYS

Twaddle,how do you know they "play for themselves"? If they truly played for themselves then their club would win nothing!

Quite interesting that AVB has been appointed as "Head Coach" not manager also Levy is quoted as saying AVB shares the vision of developing players"
People can blame Chelsea players but AVB will need to change the way he approaches many aspects and that includes players who arent being selected. In terms of ego players like Gallas and if he joins Sturridge have egos as big as the channel tunnel

They may be a small club but they have a big trophy cabinet!
If avb had stayed at cfc they would have been more than 2 places below spurs and probable won nothing, would you have still wanted him as your manager then? Also they were knocked out of the league cup with him in charge, your facts are wrong!

I can not let the comment go regarding AVB more points that RDM on average well the truth is that RDM was battling on three fronts and had no choice but to prioritise not forgetting he had to re build player’s confidences. Bear i mind how bad or how good he was RDM has won more as a manager in the last 3 months than most managers will win throughout their whole career
AVB was called DVD man at Chelsea he was also disliked by not just players but many employees at Chelsea where he was said to ignore or treat like dirt just about everyone. He could not relate to squad players. He could just not engage with a significant number of people from outside the club including many journalists who struggled when in his company.
AVB made huge mistakes at Chelsea, he no doubt will be the first to admit it but the simple truth is he was far too technical for the majority. He plays a high defensive line based on Barcelona’s style of all out closing down . Chelsea didn’t have enough technically gifted players to achieve this and i very much doubt that the current Spurs squad will fare any better.
Spurs do have youngsters but reflect on this. Fridel 40+ Cuddicni 38 + Parker 31+ King 32+Pinear 30+ Gallas 34+ Van Der Vart, Defoe, Dawson all 29+. All players that in the last throes of their top level careers and they really will not welcome someone just about their age who never has played at any serious level telling them how it should be done.
People harp on about Terry, Lampard and Drogba but AVB fell out big time with Kalou, Mikel, Lukaka, & Cahill. All these players are a lot younger than the Spurs players I mention above. In the cases of Alex and Anelka he treated them like dirt not allowing them to sit down with the other players for Christmas lunch nor allowing them to park their cars in the players car park. This went down like a lead balloon with the rest of the team who arranged a separate meal where AVB and staff weren’t invited.
Having said all that time will tell but for now the fact that he has signed for Spurs means that £100k a week in respect of his wages and an undisclosed amount for two others comes of Chelsea’s wage bill.

One word.....'excuses'

So how many fronts was AVB competing on....let me see....oh yea....1.....2.......3, guess wot, it's the same.

So your point is??
AVB still has a better record, at chavski, than RDM. They where both in the same competitions. Pointless post.

Fantastic post !!!

You may have saved 100,000 wk but you forgot the 13 million they paid to sign him originally,and the financial package for the soon to be sacked rdm.
hardly loose change?

bookmakers have stopped taking bets on the next spurs manager, so expect to hear something very soon.

According to several other sites it's due to be pronounce later today.

Other than the bleeding obvious.

blimey, award season has come early this year.
