How long does he have on his contract? 2 more years?
He definately isnt gonna be our ten year manager then...

I am not saying that there is a debate about looking at results I am debating whether it is fair to solely look at results against the Top 4.
They are two entirely different points.
But as I said we may have made up 5 points against top 4 sides over last season but those 5 points have been dropped elsewhere so it is perhaps misguided to isolate these results as crucial.
Which is fair enough, that is why I said perhaps because they should be considered with all the other results. We are on the same hymn sheet here just started from a different verse.
Shouldn't he be concentrating on us and not answering these questions at all then?
Although i admit its really easy to twist quotes to suit an agenda as we've seen in the past.
Her shouldn't even be talking about other jobs.
Qunt journo asks a qunt sensationalist question - twists quote to suit context = tabloid headlines
Yeah - AVB out, bring back Arry
Although you can't help reacting to things that get quoted in the media, we all know to take it with a big sack of salt. I was always pretty keen on Arry despite the things he would say, but at the end his "lack of commitment" was manifested very tangibly, and disastrously, on the pitch. AVB saying he'd like to manage in Brazil or wherever is one thing, if results nosedived while he was clearly sniffing round another job, it would be something else.
At least Villas Boas has the potential to be around for a while even if he doesn't have the desire to, his predecessor was not only trying to leave to go to England but at any point could have been banged up or taken ill.....
Would that be based on the innocent verdict he received against HMRC?
Or is it because The Met paid him compensation for unlawfully raiding his home?
I actually thought that the second I read it. It didnt make sense to be talking about how he wants to honour his contract, then say he will leave very soon. Obvious mix up in the lingo.
I do hope that something changes his mind over the coming years, and he sticks around to be a long term manager for us. I cant bare all this again in two seasons time.
I've been pleased, particularly after an element of our fan base almost created a self fulfilling prophecy by giving him a load of shit within just a couple of games.
Wherever we finish, he's kept us at the level we were at the season before, which is as much as you can ask for in a first season where we lost three very talented players (inc. ledley) have had long injuries to a couple more and the chairman didn't throw billions of pounds at him.
This transfer window will be intriguing. I think he's earnt the right to go out and break pir transfer record to bring in the striker he feels we need to push for the title.
If we finish third he gets 9/10. Fourth or below, 8/10.

That is fucking horrendous
AVB has done a fine job for me in his first year and has handled the transition from his failed effort at CFC rather impressively for me
There are just two things i just dont understand
His continual use of an average-at-best RB Naughton and playing him out of position LB which further compounds Naughton's average-at-best ability on the pitch
Parker and his automatic selection in the Starting 11. Clearly there are plenty of games where the opponent comes in, sits back and Parker does more harm then good. A very good CDM but an attack-killer with his circles and backpasses
Two of life's mysteries
Other then that, AVB is the man. #TiTS

In particular the game today - this formation and this opposition was literally screaming for the presence of Holtby, a far from perfect player yet, but one however who apart from constant fighting, pressing and hustling would be looking towards making that vertical through pass for Bale, Defoe & Dempsey all the bloody time.
