Lets not revisit very old ground and Arry yet again!

I agree; he is now dead (as far as this club is concerned). We must look towards the future and pick a manager that will take us places. Whatever we thought of AVB he is now gone as well.

[Metalanimal]

Exactly no doubt speculation as to why AVB left will continue which is fair enough as its very recent.

We also must remember that he left - according to Spurs machinery - on mutual consent. So it was not a one sided sacking as so many have said.

Sorry Voice but I am confused. You say ''We must look towards the future and pick a manager that will take us places'' which I completely agree with however you seem to contradict yourself by saying that you would welcome Hoddle back in charge! I think Capello might get the job in the summer because of his connection with Baldini and with his experience and success at club level. Not a popular choice for many but I think he would bring us success. However there is also a certain Dane in Wales that impresses me, we will have to wait and see.

Its been reported initial enquires made regarding Frank De Boer, cant see him leaving Ajx TBH.  He is the type of manager we want for me would like to see Michael Laudrup!

Tim Sherwood certainly showed passion yesterday, but I feel the quicker we get stability and a permanent manager put in place the better.

[Yiddite]

Tim Sherwood started out with 4-4-2 and it was working with us going 1-0 up
and in control.
Why then, with only 1 substitution, left bring off the better striker
on the night and go back to  a 4-5-1 formation leaving Defoe on his own?
Arguably it was to strengthen our midfield and hold onto a 1-0 lead.


A big mistake and along with West Ham's substitutions cost us dearly as it
has done in the past.


With little or no managerial experience Sherwood is not the man for me.

[Metalanimal]

Yiddite I would totally agree with you.

Surprised Levy has taken the action he has without a suitable replacement ready to step in, perhaps he think TS can do the job on the cheap!

Couldn't agree with you more,  Sherwood has the passion, but only some experience and not enough at that. 

Hoddle is an absolute no-no, imo. too long out of management and Capello didn't do much for England.  De Boer sounds a bit better as long as Berkamp doesn't come with him. We couldn't have a Gooner in our ranks, could we?

Anyway, I think Levy should take the job himself    but he will probably appoint someone nobody has ever heard of!!

I can see what you mean about the confusion. For a start I would probably prefer Swansea's manager for the job. As for Hoddle; I am working on the assumption that he has matured and learnt from his mistakes. He is regarded very highly by other professionals' and managers. But I do accept that whoever we pick (even Hoddle) it will be a gamble. To be honest we just don't know. It could be a stupid comment suggesting Hoddle or an inspired idea. I just hope whoever Levy picks this time he gets it right. He hasn't got a good track-record in picking the right manager. Saying that I thought he jumped too quickly when sacking AVB.

[Metalanimal]

Frank De Boer as expected has said he is happy at Ajax.

For me our ongoing problems were summed up perfectly on Wednesday night. 73% possession in the 1st half, and nothing to show for it.
A well taken goal by Adebayor, why has he not started before ffs. One can only blame AVB's personal differences for that, and for that fact alone then Levy was right to sack him IMO.
After that, it was the familiar old theme, no pressure on West Ham to cut out a cross into our box, and a failure of our CB's to deal with an aerial ball into the box, and bang bang 1-0 becomes 1-2. Rather like the game at Everton last year that cost us our Champions League place.
As Razor Ruddock pointed out yesterday, all Spurs need are 2 strikers and 2 CB's. He is not wrong, is he.
So, who is to blame. Well, if AVB is, then so is Levy and the board for sacking Redknapp and appointing him in the first place. But no matter who the manager is, its the 11 players on the pitch that win or lose games, and I fear that whether we play 442 4231 433 4132 or any other bloody combination, our current crop just are not good enough at this present time,

Berkamp is a legend - gooner or not- I would take him in a shot. He would improve our strikers without doubt.
I don't think he would come to the Lane though, but if he did we should welcome him with open arms.

According to the latest reports 4 of the new players Spurs recently appointed AVB didn't want. If that is the case and Levy is playing manager - in the background - then whoever Tottenham sign will be over shadowed.
