Nobody Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Spurs won't finish above 4th while Levy is running them. Seems to me he's more bothered about balancing books than attracting players to the club. If that was the case, why did they spend every penny and then some from the Bale transfer? You can't say that someone is more interested in the finances when they've just spent over £100m in one summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Aye, doesn't make sense. Levy has always backed the manager with funds. As for attracting players to the club, how many did they sign this summer? and how many were highly rated, like Lamela, Soldado, Eriksen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Is Sherwood really a serious contender? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 “Tim (Sherwood) should get the job permanently and work alongside Les Ferdinand,” “Together, they are old-school Spurs and would do a tremendous job. “I brought them both back to the club when I was there because they understand the place. “They are great coaches and don’t forget Tim was captain of Blackburn when they won the Premier League in 1995. “Why shouldn’t he get the job -- even though being English will probably go against him.” Don't see how being captain of a title-winning side makes him more suited for the job. And yeah, bitter as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Is Sherwood really a serious contender? If so, I reckon Levy would appoint him as sole caretaker instead of naming a trio of coaches to manage the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 His Chelsea tenure has ultimately allowed people to come to lazy conclusions about his ability. I don't think so. He's genuinely naive tactically. He's done enough in his career to suggest that isn't the case. Think it might be getting on top of him a bit in the premier league. But he really hasn't. Going undefeated in the league was a great achievement but the Portuguese especially in that season is pretty weak. He's made some of the same mistakes time & time again.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Wonder if there should be some sort of transfer window for managers as well or whether January would just be a free for all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Wonder if there should be some sort of transfer window for managers as well or whether January would just be a free for all. Personally think clubs should only be allowed to change manager in the summer. If you appoint a bad one then tough shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Would it make much difference to the league though? How often have mid-season managerial changes dramatically changed the fortunes of a team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Would it make much difference to the league though? How often have mid-season managerial changes dramatically changed the fortunes of a team? IMO the fabled 'new manager bounce' can often be the difference between being relegated and not for a number of teams. IE Mussolini last season when O-Nil was sure to take the Mackems down.

Wullie Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Would it make much difference to the league though? How often have mid-season managerial changes dramatically changed the fortunes of a team? I'd say that probably happens quite often. Roeder, Robson and Keegan (twice) for us for a start.

Dave Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'd expect in the majority of cases it doesn't change the eventual outcome though. Might be wrong like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 lots of stats show there is an APPARENT bounce after replacing the manager - for about 5 games what it really is that club fires the manager after a worse than average run - they then do better than average but the same thing would happen if he'd stayed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would interesting to see what impact it had on the attitudes of players who stopped playing for a manager or actively tried to get one sacked mid-season. They'll basically have to suck it up and get on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think AVB will have a great career on the continent when he gets past his ego and his "style" is more ideal for that certain league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaAltieri Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think AVB is overrated, if anything. There's a reason Mourinho wants nothing to do with him. Makes it perfectly clear AVB was NEVER his assistant. I reckon he knows that AVB is going to be found out. That's rubbish imo. It's mourinho being a cunt as per usual to anyone who disowns him. Maybe. I have no inside knowledge. It's just a gut feeling. But it's well known the reason AVB left was because he wanted more responsibility. Jose had him working as a scout and refused to promote him. Then they had a falling out. The fact Mourinho didn't want to promote him speaks volumes to my ears.
