Leif 6,006 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 AVB HAS APPARENTLY BEEN GIVEN A THREE YEAR DEAL AT TOTTENHAM!I fear he'll do well there. Very attacking team, a board/owner who thinks more like him etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 This is exactly the nightmare I was fearing when we sacked Andre. I fear he can make them genuine title contenders, let's hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 He hasn't signed a deal (yet). Can understand if he wants another crack at English football, although I think its too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Assuming he goes there and if (right now it's a very big if) Tottenham can convince their best players to stay despite the lack of CL football and maybe buy a couple more quality players I fear AVB will be very successful there. Players like Modric and Bale will be very good for his tactics and their full-backs aren't bad either. Shame if he's really going there, was hoping he would go to Italy or maybe Spain and I could have wished him all the best but if he's going to Spurs it's about as bad as going to Liverpool. Hope he fails miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Not quite pleased with that IF it is true.And also, this was mentioned on Twitter. Why an Italian source is reporting on a Portuguese manager going to an English club?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Tottenham set to offer manager's job to André Villas-Boas • Daniel Levy wants dynamic young coach to drive club forward • Villas-Boas has sought assurances about future of Luka ModricTottenham Hotspur have held direct negotiations with André Villas-Boas and they are poised to offer him the manager's job. Tottenham officials met Villas‑Boas's agent in London last Friday and Saturday to explain what they were looking for in the successor to Harry Redknapp, who they sacked last Wednesday. But they have since accelerated the process by speaking directly to Villas-Boas.The 34-year-old Portuguese, who was dismissed by Chelsea in March, was initially unsure whether he was the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's first choice for the vacancy. He felt that Levy had other candidates in mind, which was true, with Everton's David Moyes numbering among them. But it has become clear that Villas‑Boas is the man that Levy wants to lead Tottenham into a new era.The sacking of Redknapp represented a gamble, as he had led the club to fourth-, fifth- and fourth-placed finishes in the Premier League in the past three seasons, only missing out on Champions League qualification last month when Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in the final of the competition.Villas-Boas knows that Levy's minimum requirement is to qualify for Europe's elite tournament. The chairman also wants to be challenging for the league title in the near future. Redknapp often said he thought "there was a championship in this club". It is a demanding brief and the jury remains out in some quarters over Villas‑Boas. He has plenty to prove after his ill-fated Chelsea tenure, when he failed to impose his will on the squad's strong personalities. It hurt his reputation that, after his dismissal, the team recovered to win the Champions League and FA Cup under Roberto Di Matteo. But Levy has come to view Villas-Boas as the dynamic young coach to drive the club forward.Villas-Boas and his representative have sought assurances about the future of Tottenham's best players, chief among them the midfielder Luka Modric, who has exited Euro 2012 with Croatia and is determined to be granted a big transfer this summer. Villas‑Boas tried to sign Modric when he was at Chelsea last summer, only for Levy to block the £40m proposal.It is unclear whether Levy will be able to hold on to Modric for another season, although he is empowered to hold the player to his contract, which has four years to run. He is adamant he would not sell Modric to Chelsea or Manchester United but he may be more receptive to a bid from Real Madrid, particularly if the sum on offer was upwards of £40m.Tottenham's new manager, though, will be granted a large transfer kitty to reshape the squad in his image, and it stands to be even larger if Modric were to leave. The priority area is centre-forward. The club are struggling to satisfy Emmanuel Adebayor's wage demands to make his loan move from Manchester City permanent; they have not taken up the option on Louis Saha. Jermain Defoe is the only established striker.Levy is keen to find a more senior role within the set-up for Tim Sherwood, the youth development squad coach. Sherwood survived the cull of Redknapp's backroom staff, which accounted for Kevin Bond, Joe Jordan and Clive Allen, because Levy considers him to be an asset to the club.

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 When you read that report of the Guardian and then think about the done deal they said about Hulk, it seems like the Guardian is turning into a trash paper like Daily Mail and such.It's a pity.
