AVB inherited a team that had just finished 4th?!
Very fair point.
It's a very good point. I can't be arsed trawling through his posts(Never been a fan of The Financial Times) but I seem to recall him waxing lyrically about the melting tax dodger before he started auditioning for the England job. Back then, good old 'arry was a combination of the bees knees and the dog bollocks all wrapped up in one droopy looking package. The saviour of Spurs and the greatest manager the game had ever seen.
Until AVB, Harry did have the best statistical record of any Spurs manager since 1908.
Now he doesn't.
