I'm open to other candidates but at the moment, I think he's my favourite.

Europa League winner, too. Would, in that sense, be a bit of a statement from us going into this year's competition.

I think I agree. There's just something about AVB, something I can't quite put my finger on, that I'm not convinced by.

The best-informed Spurs fan I know thinks AVB's a very good coach but very thin-skinned and he reckons that causes problems for him. If that's true we'd probably be a good English option for him - good squad, not too much press coverage, no crazy expectations so he's likely to be given time if things don't quite go right at at any point...

Do we know how much we've offered?

From what the people in the know have said around £2.5m- £3m a year. Which was doubling his money he was on before. So Everton have given him a crazy offer that makes him the 6th or 7th highest paid manager in the world.

I remember he did go and confront Neil Ashton (he of [HASHTAG]#MELTDOWN[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#EXODUS[/HASHTAG] fame) in a press conference for trying to be divisive at Spurs.

They really didn't get on and AVB wasn't afraid to call Ashton out on writing BS. Perhaps he reads and cares too much, for some.

Agreed. So theoretically speaking, but remaining realistic, who would people have on their list of five managers to sound out?

I'll go first...

AVB
Howe
De Boer
Garcia
Schmidt

Garcia....nice curveball.

I think Schmidt would be mad to leave. Champions League footie and clearly got them on an upwards curve with an ethos everyone buys into. I also think we may take advantage of the Euros to try and land an international manager coming to the end of a reign...

I think:

AVB
Howe
Low
Deschamps
FDB

Wasn't a fair amount of AVB's downfall down to Sherwoods backstabbing to his media mates?

He got 72 points. I really don't understand how people think he *wasn't* good at Spurs.

I've got a mate who's a Spurs STH and he said AVB deserved more support from the board and wasn't supported through the rocky patch. They played some good stuff under him and he set their record Premier League points total.

They had a rocky patch and Levy got trigger finger. Ronald did the same earlier this season and Les showed that's not his style.

AVB likes projects, has a similar philosophy and his meticulous approach suits the club too. I'd be chuffed with him.


* - also, Harry didn't come along and make him look bad. He was post-Harry and they then bumbled along with Sherwood before pinching Poch off of us.

Ah yes sorry arry was pre avb. Yes he got 72 pts but surely he should have done better with that squad? And they made some crap purchases with him in charge.

Not in the Euros, but Klinsman perhaps?

My only slight reservation of AVB is that he wasn't a player and as such, can he get the instant respect of a dressing room like Koeman could. However, his record at Spurs was very good.
 
While we're discussing AVB and the media etc...

Here's his very public falling out with Neil Ashton. I suppose he'd get on well with Les then! <laugh>
