Andre Villas-Boas

[Tony101]

he's like one of those people who take 1 minute to say a simple thing. He makes every question far more complicated than it really is

I don't understand this appointment at all. Harry really fit in well at spurs and was respected by the players. AVB will crash and burn again. Don't see him being there for a whole season.

Harry had his chance and cocked up when he finished third, I suspect Levy had grown tired of his personality and saw no excuse to tolerate it anymore. For the last few months Bale was playing in the middle of midfield, if you don't achive champions league football that sort of conduct cannot go unpunished.

The irony is that he out managed AVB who had a vastly superior squad last season when he was at Chelsea. Harry is a better manager than AVB, getting Spurs to finish 4th, 5th and 4th is a remarkable achievement in this financially driven football era. AVB is a spoiled cry baby. I know players are pampered pre madonas these days, but i don't remember so many players that publicly hated a manager like AVB at Chelsea.<br /><br />-- Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:28 am --<br /><br />

He got dropped in it with Chelsea, I reckon he can do well with spurs

Getting dropped in it is situations like Paul Sturrock at Southend. He turned up on the first day of training and 5 players showed up to complain that they hadn't been paid and they didn't stay to train. Managing a hugely talented squad that cost a fortune to put together is an easy job especially when he was paid millions himself.

ESPN has been told, though, that Villas-Boas' comments were part of an off-the-record briefing to the Spanish journalist and that the Portuguese feels badly let down that they were reported.

what else can i say

That's why he should have said that to an english reporter. The Spanish reporter is "SPANISH" and Real Madrid is a "spanish" team.

Didn't think modric would ever be that unprofessional. We had this last time when berbatov and fergie had us by the bollocks.

The thing is we don't need to sell being that he's in a long term contract. It's not a situation like arsenal where they have to sell or risk no money. He's our best player and 35m is about right. If Madrid get close to that levy will sell. I don't think he's in the mood for petulance now his mother passed away now his wife is ill. Seeing modric play silly beggars may make levy dig his heels in more. Hopefully this doesn't all turn out to be a tevez situation and it's sorted before the season starts!

tell u what im really disappointed modric is acting like a woman right now since im going to the liverpool v spurs game this saturday and its a shame he wont be there. i mean realistically theres still plenty of time left for u to be sold dude, why not just show up stay fit work hard and hope levy and some other club can reach an agreement. thats fine if u wanna leave but theres still plenty of time to make something happen + ur still under contract.. just show up and play and hope a resolution is reached

sidenote: i love AVB and think he'll do wonders for them

Same with Gio now, his man management is utter shite

Gio should have asked anelka or alex what happens when you talk like that, but then again he's only played 2 games in the league in 4 bloody years

whenever you are compared to anyone being called the new Pele, new Zidane or new Mourinho, you are destined to fail, maybe not miserably, but fail none the less. He is in danger of getting really found out this season unless he becomes his own man some how

I just don't see it right now, but then again I'm not daniel levy
