I think AVB needs to get down the gym a bit if he's gonna convince me he's a killer robot.

Isn't AVB responsible for the petrol price increase and the GFC as well?
He killed JFK and Malcom X I heard
I'm sure you lot could actually believe that
Who lot?
I actually think AVB had some admirable traits. But the end of the day, he just proved to be an average manager, with world class theories, and didnt know the difference between working with people, and robots.
Unfortunately, keeping the Ramos interview in mind, the fact that AVB made a string of very clear errors doesn't change the fact, that Levy do is part of the problem.
JR says outright in straight quotes, that Levy sold Berbatov (who wanted to go) and Keane to accomodate the £17 million gambit which was Darren Bent, a player JR never wanted.
Just one single example from an era of similar situations. Hard to debate.
Surely the transfers at this time were down to Commollii? And as has been said above, targets like Eto'o and Villa were complete pie in the sky.
Any manager who agrees to work with a DoF should'nt complain about signings and sales being "above his head".
One thing Redknapp said from day one that he would only come if we scrapped the system. If Ramos wanted to sign players, he shouldnt have come to Spurs when we had Commolli.

Entirely possible that Levy contributed to his failure, but then Levy has been around during the days of Jol, Redknapp and AVB, none of whom were remotely as bad as Ramos - and in the case of Redknapp had most of the same players.
So while Levy may have undermined JR, the fact is that the results were still well below what that squad should have been capable of.
You've banged on about how AVBs 72 points is irrelevant then you post this. Amazing.
I dont remember AVB winning every single PL game between mid Feb and May.....We had some cracking results, but lost to Fulham and drew with Wigan.
Prior to that, we drew with Norwich and QPR.
In fact, from the 72pts, we managed to collect a total of 6pts at home from WBA, Norwich, QPR, Wigan and Stoke from a possible 15.
So while we are all delighted that we beat Man U away, and City at home, Id have been more impressed if we lost those two, and beat 3 at least three of the other teams at WHL (where we opted for 2 DMs against Norwich and WBA)
That would have seen us finish top four ahead of Woolwich. Far more impressive than a "record points tally" in itself.

Woolwich put in Championship winning form to finish above us by one point and they've continued with that form this season but where you seem to accept that they are above us now on merit you didn't last season, blaming AVB for missing out on 4th, even though the second half of our season was better than the first half where we were 3 points above them.
Yet here you accept that should Liverpool go on a similar run it wouldn't be Sherwood's fault.
What the fuck are you going on about now weirdo?
No, because the scenario was if we won every game from now.
AVB didnt. He dropped 4 points to Fulham and Wigan.
Sherwood dropped 2 points against Hull and 3 vs City. Point?
Still had one striker and a relatively ineffective youth backup
:avblol:
Don't see what the fuss is
What sort of guy would play two up front, that means you'd have to drop a defensive player
Back on topic, maybe?
