He's certainly smarter than he likes to make out. The 'dumb' thing is purely an act. He'll probably go to USA/UAE/China/Anywhere with more money than sense for a cushy job and a gold-plated pension.
I pretty much agree with this, though not so much on the hatred side. Just think he's personality-less, and basically an impressionist, cobbling together various modern Euro managers' images into his own. Sideline histrionics, check; skinny ties, check; fitted shirt, check; slightly moody press dimeanour, check. Just can't image him commanding any respect from players. Wish he'd gone elsewhere, as I also need to turn over or off when he comes on screen. Think he is probably superb as a backroom, managerial support member of staff, as Mourinho and others have pointed out. Only Terry Connor had less personality in the Permiership last season, I would say. If he does well, fine; he certainly needs to do so if he wants to prove his success with Porto wasn't a one-off. Unbeaten league run, cups, and European honours is admittedly impressive, but had he inherited a decent unit anyway, and the Portuguese league is hardly the Premiership? Simply wish he was plying his trade elsewhere.
Personally I hope he crashes and burns. And when is David Moyes going to get offered one of these jobs?
Moyes is always hyped up by the press but tbh but I just think he's settled at Everton. A loyal manager a bit like our Nige!
Lampard, huge. Seriously though, don't see AVB as that self styled (as a poster put earlier) less than Mourinho I'd say. Maybe the latin managers are just a bit more stylish full stop. I'm sure someone will prove me wrong here!
turned a Chelsea team challenging for the title into a team that finished 5th. I hope he has similar levels of success at Spurs.
Depends when we play them. It will take time for the players to adapt and bound too be some transfer movement. My guess is it will be xmas before he's put his stamp on them good or bad.
