Andre Villas-Boas

[bluestevon]

What have you heard mate is he actually coming or is it all just conjecture at the minute

Just conjecture i believe - given he has publicly stated that he is leaving the chinese club hes at after the sunday final and it coincided with the moshiri statement about us being very close to hiring a permanent manager.

It would make a lot of sense for both parties to go for him tbh, but the big caveat i'd say is the fact i know for certain the manager has on a couple of times stated he has no wish to manage again in this league due to lack of stability.

Then again he also said after leaving Zenit it was to return home to portgual for a period, and within about 4 months he was off taking a managers job in china - so who knows...

all of his 'rejects' would be starters in our championship looking side, make no mistake

They'd start tomorrow.

Supposedly he left Zenit as well to go back to Portugal stating family reasons.

Maybe it was Zenit I read the article about?? Mmmmm....interesting

Can't wait until he is handing out detailed dossiers to each player telling them how crap they are. Williams will get a thome.

...his grandmother was called Margaret KENDALL. She taught him to speak perfect English. It’s a sign.

Yesterday I had a pair of brown shoes pop up as an ad on the next manager thread. I hope to god thats not a sign.

Everyone seems to be drifting at the moment lol. But AvB has done massively over the last hour or so.

I think its safe to say that the betting means absolutely sod all in manager serarches, we have already seen 3 or 4 'odds on' favourites. its completely laughable.

Actually hilarious that anybody on here pays any attention to the betting at all

My brother's a Spurs fan and isn't very fond of him, but I guess he's Andre Villas-Bias.

With the massive exception of Eriksen he signed some poor buys at Spurs with the Gareth Bale money

Soldado
Chichires
Ettiene Capoue
Lamela
Paulinho (although has now come good in Spain)

tbf it was too many all at once that made the start to his second season so poor,

A bit like Koeman here a very encouraging big improvement in his first season was largely forgotten following a really poor transfer window, a much poorer start and damaging 6-0 and 5-0 defeats by City and Liverpool interspersed by two London derby defeats, including QPR and a defeat to West Brom

His time at Chelsea that preceded that by a bit was also largely disappointing and he left the normally title challengers adrift of even fourth place Arsenal by three points

Besides all that he was great at both clubs lol

I think you'll find DOF Franco Baldini, was responsible for those signings.
