Actually I think Villas-Boas will be a success at Spurs. His touchline squatting and other acts that scream "WANKER" would go down well. People give him a lot of shit and venerate Bielsa, though they share a similar managerial philosophy. Though in Bielsa's defence he's not incompetent with the press, nor does he squat on the touchline.

Really?! That simple?!! :doh:

Have completely overthought things with the way Essien pronouncing 'morning' as 'money'! :lol:

Thanks for clearing it up. :)

I don´t know what´s not to like about people who are moody in the morning. It´s normal, isn´t it ?

Essien with his 16 hours of sleep a day I can see never being moody though. Playing football is just the only thing he has to get up for and obviously isn´t very happy about that.

Don't think Essien was serious with that. Doubt all of them were.

Andre Villas-Boas blew his the chance to become Burnley manager in 2010 after officials from the club were left "confused" by the Portuguese coach following an extravagant interview.

Villas-Boas, 34, was keen to get a break in English football two years ago and viewed the Burnley job as his ideal platform following the departure of Owen Coyle to Bolton.

In the end, the relatively unheralded Brian Laws was viewed as a safer option to Burnley in their ultimately doomed attempt to cling onto their Premier League status, with Villas-Boas forced to wait for his chance to establish himself as a top tier manager.

In his new book Magical: A Life in Football, ex-Burnley chief executive Paul Fletcher reveals he was left bamboozled by the complexity of Villas-Boas' vision of the game and feared the Burnley players would be equally confused.

"He sent a very detailed and lengthy application for the job," Fletcher said. "His CV and PowerPoint presentation was amazing. If you'd showed it to some of our old managers, they'd have said, 'Blazes, what the hell does it all mean?'

"Even by today's standards there was some complicated stuff in it, with some things that I didn't understand. With hindsight, we might have appointed him, but at the time it would have been too big a risk.

"The language and jargon of football gets worse by the day. Villas-Boas uses a lot of it. Would Burnley players have ever understood what he wanted if he'd told them to 'solidificate' or some of his other terms?"

Villas-Boas recovered from the setback of missing out on the Burnley job to enjoy huge success at FC Porto, and is currently at Tottenham Hotspur after a disappointing spell with Chelsea last season.

Not surprised by that at all.

Spurs in turmoil

'Tired' stars slam AVB

UNHAPPY Tottenham stars held showdown talks with Andre Villas-Boas over his training and tactics.

Boss AVB also had a bust-up with technical co-ordinator Tim Sherwood, who is allegedly angry at being frozen out.

Players complained that AVB’s gruelling double training sessions — sometimes staged just 24 hours before a match — left them too tired to perform in Premier League matches this season.

And Spurs stars have also hit out at their manager’s negative style of football, telling him they would prefer to play a more attacking system. AVB has scrapped the double training sessions after listening to his squad.

Leopard, spots, something, something
