Totally agree.these shites are the lowest denominators,they sprew lies and then blame the shit they have printed on what the public wanted.
 
I have sympathy for avb, he is on ahiding just like bobby.both have taken over under achieving yet next to be the greatest British managers ever.
 
i'll just leave this here...spurs youth squad, the future looks bright...

Load of crap. He is getting same amount of abuse from the media as much as any club. In fact it's the spurs fans that are on his back more, when he took Lennon the crowd was all booing the decision. It was pathetic. Hope they royally f*ck up this season.
 
AVB

Just seen his press conference where he gives it to Neil Ashton, to his face, with both barrels

I think more managers should stand up and do this. The days where we the fans can be manipulated by the press are going. More press conferences are filmed so we get to hear what the managers says directly and not the press reporters interpretation

Unfortunately some of the media haven't realised this so continue to peddle their own agendas whilst not realising that we the fans can see that they are misrepresenting the managers words

Ferguson had the media in his back pocket due to bans I wish more clubs would do the same that way the press would realise that if they want to set their own agenda's the clubs are entitled to set theirs
 
Re: AVB

That journo is licking his chops at this very moment.. he's got stories for days. It isn't becoming of a supposed top class manager to respond to these crawlers, you are showing weakness and bringing yourself down to their level..

he hasn't got long left if the pressure is getting to him.
 
He was spot on about them twisting his "We should be ashamed of ourselves" comment after the City game.

Sadly, though, he's fighting a losing battle against these tabloid cockroaches as they really have no shame and will go as low as possible to come out on top. You only have to see today's Mail to see that they're delighted they've finally got to him.

Glad AVB drove the point home about how they have twisted his word. Was listening to the 5Live Podcast and they were questioning about who bought the players again whether it was AVB or Baldini. All the evidence shows it was not AVB.

When you look at any manager and especially foreign managers they tend to want to sign players from their home nation or at least former clubs. For example Benitez brought in Alonso, Garcia, Morientis, Arbeloa, Torees and Reina. Mourinho brought in Tiago, Maniche, Ferriera and Carlvaho. It's normal, because the manager has connection with these leagues, knows them better and the players understand his coaching style. Yet look at Tottenham' signing and the only Portuguese speaker signed was Paulinho. So it seems unfair to judge him on that. Their biggest signing was Lamela from Roma, where Baldini was a former player.

Then the squad was not well put together at all. Looking at the team they have 3 right wingers and just one persona capable of playing on the left. They are overstocked in central midfielders, have a lack of top strikers and a huge weakness in defence.

Just going by the team they should finish 5th or 6th. City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal and arguably even Liverpool have a better squad. However, if he finishes fifth I am sure he will lose his job.
 
The treatment AVB has been subjected is nowhere near to what Mancini received when he was our manager. Ironically, most of it from Spurs supporting journalists, such as Paul Smith.Yet I cannot remember Mancini receiving as much support from the pundits as AVB does.

I am of the opinion that xenophobia is one of the key drivers behind the attacks on both managers. Foreign managers, in general, do appear to have a harder time with the journos.

Newcastle and Everton look more than capable of finishing above them too, reckon avb won't make it to the last matchday though, and if he does, it'll be because baldinis got the sack

100%. I've said it for a long time, Brit born managers get a much fairer deal when it comes to our shite press. I personally would have kicked Ashton out of the press conference, that is one thing that I agreed with GPC on - probably why he didn't get the amount of abuse that some foreign managers get, he just wouldn't stand for it.

Well played AVB, Ashton is a ****.

Whilst i agree Ashton is an utter **** and deserves all the abuse coming his way, you dont get involved in such stuff when you are 9th.
 
I think spurs would be mad to get rid of AVB, hes a young manager, who I think wasn't in control of Spurs' signings this summer, When he gets his best team, I think they'll start to pick up results.
 
Thanks for the link!

Good to see AVB stood up and made his point / the truth clear for all to see.
And this journo c**t Ashton still had the audacity to try and twist his words there and then....phew....

Not necessarily saying you are wrong but what makes you so certain of that ("I have no doubt")?
