Well Spurs haven't won a game this season. Burnley probably went for the least terrible of the two candidates.

Levy hired him after getting rid of a manager who achieved two top four finishes in three seasons. If Levy has to sack AVB, then his position at Tottenham will be called into question, therefore I think he will give AVB time.
Said during the game (while it was 1-0) that Reading needed to be patient and defend. Spuds have a chronic defence problem, in particular defending in the last 10mins. Unfortunately for Reading they caved in too easily. Spuds did indeed concede as they did against WBA and Norwich. It was too late. But the cracks have been well and truly papered...
