AVB OUT, AND TAKE LEVY WITH YOU Maybe you wanna put that statement on hold then ? [/quote] No, at this stage I would still like to replace him. As far as Levy goes, I would like to see him rot in hell !! [/quote] Replace him with whom ? Mick McCarthy maybe ?

Arry

Oh yeah like that would work!!! Arry didnt have our club at heart only his very best interests at all times! Arry isn't and wasn't the messiah he took us as far as he could and stuffed our last season right up!
AVB's Blue and White Army!

Most of that post was crap. I agree that he could never come back. I totally disagree that Spurs were not the centre of his interest, Yes, he would of taken the England job, but there again so would any English manager in the country. In nearly four years, we had a few bad months after he was initially linked with the England job. You may wish to believe that this was his fault, personally I believe that the players felt unsettled believing he may go. He couldn't help that. No, Arry wasn't the perfect manager and made some pretty daft decisions at times. It's my belief however that he was the best manager a club of our size could get. Don't forget, we aren't Real Madrid, Barcelona or Man Utd, and we certainly don't have the dosh of Chelsea or Citeh. What's more, Arry achieved what he achieved with an average net spend of only £12m per season. I think you will agree that in prem terms this is peanuts.
Whether AVB turns out to be as good, who knows. I believe that whilst he may be quite tactically astute, his man management skills will not come up to par for maybe another 10 years. I predict that as soon as we hit a rough spell he will lose the dressing and that will trigger the beginning of his demise.
Let's just hope that I am wrong, and he is the next Billy Nick !!
