Trying to take my mind of recent performances after the match today & was looking online to see if there is a city runners group - then stumbled across this one , looks great! Have put request in to be member 27

Agree with you that the appointment of AVB is reliant on unlocking his future potential rather than an excellent track record. However, tactically AVB is excellent, (Better than Redknapp IMO), and was given a mandate at Chelsea to dramatically change the club only for the 'old guard' to step in and get him the sack. Obviously, Redknapp dramatically improved Spurs but judging by the way they fizzled out last season, partly due to his tactical naivety, I cant help thinking that he took them as far as he could have done, which I think is the reason Levy has made this appointment.

I rate AVB, think he has a lot to prove in the English game. An ambitious move by Spurs IMO. Redknapp did well and left the club in a better position than when he took over, but you can understand why Levy would be reluctant to offer him a 4 year contract
