I disagree with that entirely, he's an extremely vindictive person. Not that it matters as SAF is just the same.
you and your chelsea chums need to get over AVB...all whining at every given chance...making me yawn now.
I personally think due to our lack of creative midfielder, we should recall Luongo from Ipswich or utilize Carroll. The loss of Thudd makes this more necessary imo. Luongo has been class for Ipswich this season and he deserves a chance after the performance today.
a team that took 3 years to build...and had seemingly come to a standstill..simple stats do not tell the whole story...unless one is a glory hunter then one will latch onto stats..not saying you are one Luke..but my point is we can all use stats...i could say AVB left chelsea at 4th but they finished at 6th....what does that say about AVB? etc etc. AVB has had 3 games fuksake!
I dont know whether its already common knowledge/gossip, but iv been hearing its all to do with dodgy financial affairs not the ones he went to court for. Getting bungs from agents, basically stealing money from the club by making agents fees higher ,as they have to give him a cut to get the deal to go through. He's not the only one either Fat Sam was sacked for a similar reasons, see the court case between Alladyce and Steve Kean for slander because Kean was caught on camera by some Blackburn fans telling them that Sam was sacked as hes a "crook". Although in the video he also claims Rovers will finish top half and win the carling cup so gotta take it with a pinch of salt! LOL
So far I've been unimpressed with AVB, poor team selection today, and the whole system seems a shambles. I won't judge him till after 6 games, as it's been difficult for him to deal with ENIC 'leave it late' show. But I'll make my end of season prediction now, 8th.
As for the booing, no surprise. As I've said many a time, we have a lot of negative fans at the Lane, and I don't like going there much these days. Almost every time I end up having a row/strong disagreement/wincing in painful silence with people who prefer moaning to supporting. When you see the great support so many foreign clubs give their team, it puts us and most of the Prem fans to shame. I wouldn't be surprised if I only go to Europa games this season, see some decent supporters backing their team.
What really troubles me is that this guy was supposed to be some king of tactical genius. So far, from what I've seen, he doesn't seem to have much of a clue. His team selections, and his substitutions, seem to baffle most observers. If he even has a plan A, it's hard to figure out what it is. Plan B, such as it is, seems to consist of haphazard, hope for the best, substitutions. What's even more concerning is, that if it goes on much longer, he will lose the dressing room. If that happens, we're really going to be up **** creek!. My only consolation will be that, hopefully, levy's head will roll. If it does, he'll ****ing we'll deserve it.
He inherited a Porto side with Falcao, Hulk, and most of the Portuguese national team in it, and he won the league... hurrah! (there's about a 75% chance of Porto winning that league with any manager every season anyway) I really doubt this guy would get anywhere near Chelsea if not for the associations with Mourinho.
He won everything that season, only losing two games in all competitions and those were in two legged ties in which Porto still progressed. 51 games, 45 wins, 4 draws, 2 loses, over 88% win rate and 4 trophies, beating Mourinho's record for most unbeaten games (36 to 33). I'm not suggesting that he's going to replicate that form at Spurs, but let's not knock what he achieved at Porto, as it was extremely impressive.
Avb had world class players at Porto yes but they also all speak so highly of him so his coaching methods, tactics etc can't have been so bad
Btw, I saw in the interview that AVB has incorporated "lacked a bit of sharpness" into his vocabulary.
